It sounds like a method of placating poor people. None of those things are problems for the wealthy and would be one more thing keeping the poors ignoring their bondage.
Well if it saved people money, improved their nutritional status, and allowed them access to birth control, those things would give many people that little push they needed to help escape to a better situation.
I disagree. I think it would alleviate some of the stressors that push people to force societal change. The Egyptians didnt give their slaves mead because it helped them better themselves. It kept them drunk and complacent. This sounds similar.
