No one really "needs" anything. You can live perfectly well on minimum wage. But really, you could survive perfectly well as a slave. Infact, the world is content for you to die and get nothing. All "need" is "want". All you deserve is what you have leverage for.

This is a global audience. Define 'minimum wage'
This comment feels like playing stupid to such an absurd degree that the argument loses any semblance of thought and you sound like you're yelling at clouds.

Obviously being a slave is not the same as being a millionaire. If you make your argument this reductionist then you don't even sound human anymore, let alone well reasoned.

You absolutely cannot live perfectly well on minimum wage lmao
What you mean is that you can't have everything you want on minimum wage
No, i mean precisely "you can't live perfectly well on minimum wage" -- housing is not a want
