I think a better solution would be state run essentials given out for free. Like food banks, free toiletries, social housing etc.

The problem with that without a UBI is that it dictates what people can economically access to whatever services are already provided. That said, I'm in favor of us getting essentials (Particularly inelastic demand things like Housing and Healthcare) and a UBI.
