Heck, if we could have all that for free, what's the point of working?

These are the basic needs. You'll need a job if you want internet, or a cell phone

Yes he did, but I'd too say internet isn't a necessity to live, you can live without internet, internet is mostly for leisure. And where it is useful, it can be replaced easily by the other above, especially if you have free public transport.

"Yeah but you needed internet to work" Work belongs to the workplace, not your home. Can't take work to your home. (And in that case you would have mommy to buy internet)

And you'd be wrong. All over the place. I work exclusively from home as a data engineer. When the pandemic hit, my job was wholly unaffected. In fact, without the burden of a commute and dealing with existing in an office, my productivity soared. Your life experience is not everyone else's.

Also, when's the last time you applied to... anything? Credit card, bank account, job? All of these require internet now. You can't meaningfully exist in our society without it on some level anymore. You can't go somewhere and hand someone a resume, you have to submit it online. Those days are long gone.
