Unless of course the government invests in those basic necessities to keep the cost to consumer low.

Like having the government spend taxes on actual subsidized food production with the goal of it being a service to the people, not a business. Or on housing to the scale where real estate doesn't get out of control due to low supply.

Id rather a world where necessities are cheap and luxuries are expensive than the world we have now where necessities are expensive and luxuries are cheap.
