I get it when people from ex-Soviet and "Eastern Bloc" countries get pissed about this wording using "free" — you still encounter this a lot in Russia: "USSR had free housing",— yeah, people were severely underpaid, were getting literal pennies, but were provided with a "free" concrete box in a commie block 😩

In Russia a lot of people — most probably are still unaware of the amount of taxes they are contributing as those are well concealed and people are made to think that it's their employer who is paying these.
But I don't get it when Americans do it and get it to a much lesser degree get it when Europeans do it.
