re: #58 Eclectic Cyborg

I would argue that, in some respects, we still have slavery here in the U.S., it’s just not as overt as it once was. A lot of folks with a minimum wage job will attest to this.

There’s a lot of shit that goes on in the migrant labor force that’s practically slavery. Some stuff is actually worse…a slave owner at least was maintaining a long-term investment. A migrant labor boss, not so much: if his workers, exposed to misapplied pesticides and herbicides, die of cancer or have kids with crippling/lethal health issues, it’s not a big thing.
