Eventually you approach (modern) slavery though, and the transition is not black to white, but a continuous one. So your argument, without any qualifications, actually implies that (modern) slavery is not a problem. I hope it is obvious to you why that is a highly unreasonable argument.
- dfilppi 7y agoNo. Slavery isnt voluntary by definition, and that is it's most essential feature.
- funklute 7y agoI don't quite see your point. I agree that both traditional and modern slavery is not voluntary. But if there are no other options, other than taking an extremely low-paying job, then modern slavery is exactly what you get. None of that contradicts what I originally said. Not having a minimum salary, and removing options for people to get by when they find themselves unemployed, creates a perfect environment for modern slavery. The OP that I replied to above seemed to think this is a good idea - it is obviously not.
- simple_phrases 7y agoPlenty of people sell themselves into slavery to pay off debt. People choosing to do this has been an institution for millennia.
