From a Billionaire’s perspective, a millionaire is a pauper. A regular working person might as well be a slave. They work hard for much of their lives for pennies, and are terrified THAT will go away.
And modern wage slavery also carries the improved advantage that the employer no longer has to provide housing, food, or medical care. The slaves have to pay for all that out of their pennies.
How come I can’t tell the difference between this slavery, and normal work?

We’re ALL already slaves.
Oh. Work is the same. But as a prisoner you get even less money. Between 0,12dollars and 1,41.

So the main difference between slavery and work is you get paid less, and don’t have the option of being permanently unemployed and homeless.
Are you being for real right now?
You are aware that the thirteenth amendment (the one that abolishes slavery) explicitly allows for slavery to continue “as punishment”.
This isn’t like some weird leftist take, slavery is quite literally legal in US prisons.
Oh, sorry Claude, forgot you don’t understand words.
Love when the username checks out!
And not having the right to say “fuck you” to the boss and leave.
I don’t get why my comment is so disliked, I don’t feel I said anything controversial, I’m basically just saying that modern day work is slavery.
