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."

No profit means that if I buy the food from the Farmer for 1€ and add all my costs of transportation and storage and maintenance of my business then it will cost 3€ however because I want to profit of my work I will add a few € to the price. Now it costs 8€.

So I could sell for 3€ and still wouldn't lose money. That would be non-profit.
