Literally the only thing you 100% need to survive that is also 100% free if you live among society and don’t produce it yourself is the air you breathe.
Hell even if you produce your own food and have water on your land, you’re gonna be paying taxes for it all, so even that isn’t exactly free.
This is just like how people confuse the words “profit” and “revenue”. Sold for no revenue would be for free, sold for no profit doesn’t mean free at all.
This implies the comment I replied to was joking. So what’s the punchline? Cuz it reads more like they didn’t understand what I said initially than being a joke.
Or being highly pendantic about the verbiage that a reasonable person would have understood through context.
We give power to greed and it has corrupted our institutions. We differentiate far to little between personal ownership (to maintain and survive) and private ownership (to profit and expand) when it comes to taxes.
Any system where people will die from lack of resources should be abolished.

it doesn’t say “free”, it says “for profit”.
And usually the opposite of something sold for profit is free. I mean, personally I’ve never heard of something sold for non-profit.
The opposite of “nothing a human needs should be sold for profit” would be “everything a person needs to survive should be free.”
A synonym used more often is “sold at cost”.

whooooosh

Yes. “That isn’t exactly free” indeed.

These Canadian wild fires are fucking that up… i honestly don’t think that’s something that will last forever.
