Here in the USA, slavery is still legal under case of incarceration. In Florida, Texas, and Louisianna, prisoners are forced to work without pay. In other states, you are charged "prison rent" that is magnitudes higher than you could ever make working per day.
As it has always been, this prison slavery system generates massive profits for the companies that use it, such as Amazon and Walmart. If you are a free worker, it is likely you will be shouldered with student loan and medical debt. Not to mention the debt accrued when financing a home.
Our nation was built on free labor, slavery is one of the driving factors of American economic success. Yet the workers do not enjoy first world rights and living conditions, it makes you think about the efficiencies of such an economic system.
