FREE FREE FREE...for who?? not everyone, somebody has to pay for it

whatever the service you want to provide free the materials\equipment must be purchased, food planted and harvested, fuel, insurance, certifications are not free. volunteers, donations and discounts may be offered, that doesnt make it free.

True. In addition, it's worth pointing out that some methods of delivering a service are more expensive than others. Take healthcare for example.

Note the graph goes 1970-2018.

Infant mortality in 2020, just so you know it's separate from the rest of the life expectancy numbers.

And who plants the food, harvests the crops, builds the machinery, etc.?
Not the owners and shareholders; the workers.

@basilfawlty89 agree...but they all contribute something. financing, brains, or blood and sweat

@1490wayb the owning class doesn't really contribute anything tbh.
Most capital is in the hands of landed wealth that inherited money through either luck, the theft or the commons or even unsavoury acts like slavery.

Nothing except labour can turn a raw material into a refined product.
