Its highly inefficient for millions of individuals welfare recipients to being independently purchasing accommodation, entertainment, utilities, food.

A superior solution would be for Governments to setup large establishments where all of these services could be provided centrally and directly. Individuals could contribute their labor to maintain the establishment.

That's called institutionalization and nobody wants that for themselves or the people they care about.

Or it's called social housing, food assistance, and single payer healthcare?

[ad404b8a372f2b9]

Those already exists so presumably that's not what the comment I responded to is referring to, in addition it was put in opposition to welfare recipients having the ability to choose how they spend what they receive so there is no equivalency.

Do they? I mean, maybe, but definitely not in the States.
