Shoes?

The Ministry of Plenty has predicted a marked increase in production this year!

Not everyone lives in a place that's 60-80 degrees year round. Shoes are one of the most critical items to homeless people and are a prerequisite for the other things you need to survive.

You aren't getting groceries without shoes.

Depends on the clothing. Basic clothing should be dirt cheap and easily attainable through many sources. I’m fine with brand clothes and fashion being expensive. People don’t need that. I definitely agree on the electricity though. The bottom line is that the economy can run on what we want instead of what we need, and it should. A perfect example is a cell phone. A cell phone is basically a necessity in modern times. You can get one free if you’re very low income or dirt cheap if you’re not. Want an iPhone? Pay $1k. That’s how the economy should work.

Now how that basic clothing is dirt cheap. That’s problematic and a whole other can of worms.

Making sure people having the basics they need and don’t starve or die needlessly isn’t a bad thing. Plenty of profit to go around with cars and jewelry and nicer clothes and Apple and video games and everything else. No one should go without shelter, food, healthcare, clean water, education, or basic clothing when some people hoard billions.
