I’m not physically forced to work but if I stop making money for even a short period of time I’m at risk of losing everything. The modern age of America is wage slavery where we’re forced to work ridiculous hours just to be able to afford to barely survive. If that’s not modern slavery idk wtf is

How about being imprisoned for a bullshit crime where you can be forced to work without pay as outlined in the 13th amendment?
I’m not saying your life is peachy, just making the point that slavery as it existed 150 years ago hasn’t fully gone away.

Yes I’m essentially a house slave. I don’t get beat because that would look bad. I just get the threat of starvation or imprisonment.
