Have you been to the US? Or read about it?

Unfortunately yes I live there, and it sucks and it’s so far behind the rest of the developed world, but at least on paper, things with souls have a bare minimum of rights. Even if those aren’t always respected, corporations at least need to make it look on paper like they are

Forced Labor is literally in the constitution, PTO isn’t (nor anywhere else).

Okay then if it’s convicted of a crime then it can legally be compelled to work for free? Otherwise, if they’re claiming it has a soul, then that means they need to compensate it for its labor and allow it to quit if it chooses.
Note: I’m not saying it has a soul. I’m just saying if they follow their own logic, then that’s what would be required.
