You’re arguing semantics while the intention is clear. Quit being pedantic.
In our parents’ generation’s time, a public service job could fund a house, two kids, and annual vacations. We want that, or even more since we’re significantly more productive since those days. A job used to give us needs and a good amount of wants. Conflating the two in this context, while not perfectly precise, is irrelevant.
If I’m talking about liking red cars then point to a car, and you say, “that’s not red, that’s mauve,” you’re being an ass.
If we’re shopping for paint together, and i say “i like this red,” and you reply, “i think that’s mauve,” you’re trying to be specific in our communication about a common task.

Needs and wants are different things and should be described as such.

Right now, we’re talking about cars. Chill out
What are you talking about?
Needs and wants are not like colors, lol. What a terrible analogy that only a moron would take seriously.
You’re putting yourself through mental gymnastics to try and change the meanings of words to suit your agenda.
I’m gonna block you now. I can tell people like you aren’t worth dealing with.
