The first part of that post was irrelevant. Reread what I said and you'll realize you didn't contradict what I said and may have affirmed it.
Needs are finite. All needs are wants. I don't need shelter, I live in Florida, where the climate is always good. I don't need clothes, I live in Florida, where the climate is always good. Humans lived for thousands of years when the best medicine was questional folk remedies and prayer.
And if I give up on life and don't give a shit about whether I live or die anymore, I won't need anything, will I? A need is just a more urgent classification of want in terms of human satisfaction.
There is not enough resources to satisfy everybody's needs. Resources are limited. Stop saying profits out of the context of money. It makes you sound like an idiot.
Capitalism doens't assume it knows things it doesn't like precisely what everybody's needs are, that they want to live at a standard of living where they have nothing more than they need, and other things. I'd like to know how you came across this information. As without this information, all that you're saying is irrelevant as you have no way to put it into practice and have it work.
