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".

It literally says "sold for profit" not "free"

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

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

If a business can't afford to pay a living wage to its laborers for a a fair price to its customers, let it die. That's what capitalism is for my doors.
If the business is so special and important that letting it die would mess yo shit up, then make it a publicly owned service. That's what organized government is for doods.

In terms of healthcare and medicine I totally agree. But I’m not sure about food. It’s absence would kill me but to have or for free would be problematic. Water is another problem field.

Are you seriously saying you don't have the willpower to regain from eating something simply because it's available to you?
-
curious your reasoning because from a hierarchy of needs i'd put food as more fundamental than most of healthcare/medicine (i.e. preventive care, quality-of-life care; ER services and life-threatening sicknesses could be as immediate as food though)... plus the cost of some baseline of universal food is surely a lot lower than universal healthcare.

It sucks that even water costs money.
