What is Universalism? Universalism is the economy where everyone gets what they need, that without it, would die, in order to have a society. Examples:
Housing Nutrition Healthcare Utilities Income Transportation Opportunity Community
How?
Subsidization of automated systems that are exploiting all industries including themselves, is possible.
Social services already exists to help make communities of workers for capitalist consumerism and will be converted to Universal services and those workers will receive the same resources they are helping other people to obtain. They will be paid more than the competition to diminish corruption. Anyone who once worked in these departments will receive the same services. With dignity, no human should be allowed to make profit off another humans essential needs.
Significant amounts of the economy are not within these examples of universal needs that all require to be equitable.
Systems of society will be healthier to invent, innovate and engineer new technologies to advance humanity.
Automation is almost ready to delegate resources and protect the planet from larger out of this world problems.
Short verdict / elevator pitch
A universal services package is in the same order of magnitude as current major public spending lines (healthcare alone is ~$4.8T). With realistic efficiency gains (less emergency shelter, fewer ER visits, less incarceration, simpler admin), universal services can be cheaper or budget-neutral at the total-government level while delivering far better health, happiness and productivity outcomes. The arithmetic works — the challenge is political design and funding allocation.
