    I was trying to encompass a lot of stuff in that phrasing, and I get the impression it came out very poorly.

    My meaning is along the lines of including things like the ability to freely reach the necessary places for desired social engagement, access to whatever modern communication and interaction systems there are and so on, without limiting it to current technology or physical structure.

    I didn’t want to say ‘a vehicle and internet’ since those may not be necessary depending on other things. Even this explanation doesn’t really cover it; there’s a bunch of stuff in my head I want the government to be ensuring for us and it would take a huge essay to cover it all.

      That’s basically the opposite of what I thought you meant, which was that all of those things should be guaranteed and no one should have to work.

        That is something that should be a goal, but it’s an eventual goal, and not something I could reasonably ask of the government today.

        I do want those things guaranteed today, but guaranteed in the sense that if someone must work a reasonable amount to obtain them, they can do so without difficulty.
