Follow up problem to this is that this situation has been proven in the world
by both corporations and governments to NOT work, due to general satisfaction
levels. Anyone/everyone involved usually winds up having to spend more than
"bare minimum" for survival, otherwise eventually the human(metahuman?)
person simply loses various levels of desire and/or motivation to do "good
work". And in this case, "good work", is simply "passable work"
or "sellable
work".
You have to *spend* money to *make* money, and that fact holds true on even
the manufacturing scale of things...not just the marketing one.
