That's... I'm speechless. I tought it was idiotic when it "just" suggested that workers beg to work more. It had a brazen "abuse and ridicule working people" spin on it. But it not about economic slavery... It's about the acctuall slavery? That is... we need a word for idiotic and evil and the same time.
Chattel slavery is illegal. It’s true that you can be enslaved, or at least enslaved in all but name and forced to work, as punishment for a crime. I.e. as part of your incarceration. This is per the 13th amendment.
I’m not enough of a legal eagle to explain what would happen or what your recourse would (or would not) be if you refused, though.
