I prefer that communities (not the govern-cement) provides minimum housing, food and clothing. (See my earlier posts.)
On your idea of simplifying welfare. It seems like it would work, but really it ends up raising the prices of everything. Lets say you gave everyone 100£ / week. What ends up happening is that everything you would buy (especially rent) goes up by 110£ / week. And so, all the poor are even poorer.
And, the real reason UBI is pushed is that everything goes up 110£ / week, and so everyone become reliant on that UBI. And now, the govern-cement has control over everyone that much more.

Yes I could see that happening as well
Not everybody belongs to a community though after all they create govern-cements and too often act like vicious sheep

And, it is often necessary to completely disengage from society so that you can see it for what it is.

Thanks for the tip, I have been wondering how to make quatations stand out in grey but not so much as to bother with the markdown styling guide.so just worked around the problem.
In my case a temporary fix is the longest lasting type :)
