I disagree. I believe that among the things given for free some would be missed less or more than others, like free water compared to free tv if one happened to live in the sahara. Things we are dependent on for daily subsistance are more basic than the ones we easily get used to their absence. > The moment some of our basic needs get taken care of, the new ones replace them. No, the new ones add up to them. The basic needs are still there and it is a priority to take care of them first and before the "new ones". And what would be wrong with a society that would be able to provide basic sustenance to every citizens AND a free internet/tv/car etc. ?
