As I say best wishes to y'all why would I share that IP.
Wait I know what y'all are going to say, the share price is down today LOL. Heard that one before still don't know where the shareprice is headed and don't care to speculate
I shouldn't digress further but....
I don't think people should be just given food and shelter or on the other hand (as you would propose) have the means of providing this for themselves witheld so you can coerce them into working as wage slaves.
Again this is why I don't try to answer what an ideal society is - I know what I don't know. It makes more sense to talk about specific cases as Foucault suggested.
Some people would like to contribute to society great art, inventions, philosophy, works of literature or science. These things have social value but progress is retarded greatly as they are forced to be your wage slaves, to wipe your tables clean or make your coffee.
Nowadays there's a large beuracracy of well paid pointless jobs arguing about money - most probably this is what you do. Again it's a great waste of potential.
Many of the beuracracy aspire only to money and power - that's fine I can't stop y'all I just think it's pathetic. They are the bludgers and then hypocrites for referring to the wage slaves as lazy if they refuse miserable meaningless work for miserly pay.
Your "right" to have these luxuries you talk about is predicated on your presumed authority to coerce others to do your bidding against their will. On the basis that your rights end where my rights begin yes you don't get to the "freedom" to choose the totalitarian option.
I am not imposing any society upon you I only said that we shouldn't have predetermined ideas and everything is up for questioning (or maybe Foucault was right - intellectual attack).
I think people are primarily motivated as social creatures to look after one another (once basic needs are met) but that's not something I would force you to do. You are sort of asking is it your right to act like a dick - sure it is but even if you literally don't give a stuff about anyone else it's probably not in your interests to have this underclass you have created.
On Orwell yes another classic ad-hominem play the man not the ball. People are all flawed and make mistakes, I haven't dissected all his writings or vouch for everything he said.
I tip outrageously myself, again I love your focus on minutiae while completely missing the salient points. That won't help your investing either.
Newton lost money in the south sea bubble but I wouldn't be betting against gravity.

A 3 year run in which you make a few thousand grand - and a monster is born. Embarassing. Pathetic. Delusional. You're off my followee list. I'm feeling embarrassed I ever put you there.
Unless you change your tune, I doubt you'll hear from me again (which I sense you will be very happy about).
No doubt you will try to censor this too.
Have a nice life.
