So much software is so necessary that I cannot believe it is NOT free.
That doesn't make any sense. Necessity is the driving factor for it to cost money
Except for basic human rights
sir this is a capitalism
I believe that the only basic human right is the right to participate and function in your local society (whatever that means to your individual situation). In other words, you dont really have the innate right to anything, but you absolutely have the right to participate and receive the amount of benefit from others that you provide to them. For better or worse (and im not going to argue about it) the way we do that today, in this society, is currency.
Except any job should be paid.
