You need food, sure, but Jimmy's Bar and Grill isn't the only place you can get that food.
It could be argued that you need a personal car. If your car breaks down, you need parts to be able to repair that car.
The consequences of Jimmy's Bar and Grill being closed is that you just go somewhere else for food. The consequences of being unable to fix your personal transportation means you lose a lot of freedom to provide for yourself.
Imagine an old person whose car breaks down today. Is it essential for them to be able to repair it (so they have a means to buy food, get to the doctor, etc), or are they going to be able to walk to the grocer, ask friends/family to bring them food, break a retirement budget on repeated delivery, etc?

Depending on your definition of old, it might actually be a lot safer for the person to use a ride share than drive themselves.
