Modern day slavery is a system of economic bondage: one cannot change their job, improve their car (if they have one at all), live somewhere better, or other essential items in their lives because they can't afford the economic risk: one misstep and they have no backup, cascading poverty.
- refurb 5y agoSlavery is “you can’t improve your car”? Did I get that right?
- qzw 5y agoModern day slavery is human trafficking, forced prison labor, re-education camps… you know, actual slavery. Having no social security net is a real problem, but let’s not be hyperbolic.
- kiba 5y agoIt's not slavery, but it's a certain amount of Unfree labor. Unfree labor is a more apt term to describe what you are talking about since it includes: "destitution, detention, violence including death, compulsion,[1] or other forms of extreme hardship to either themselves or members of their families."[1] 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_labour https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_labour
