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.

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."

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.
