I'm not sure implementation of some sort of universal clothes and housing system is worth talking about unless we talk about whether or not you believe humans, in societies that can afford it, ought to be provided clothes and housing, somewhat like education, health care and food.
From the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
* (1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
companies are profiting from exploiting basic human needs. what we need now is to invade more countries so we can tell them how to do things. our all-knowing government and politicians should be able to summon enough political will internationally to make sure every human has the ability to wear clothes and live in a house of some baseline quality/quantity.
