Consider this scenario (i back it up at the end with direct evidence)
You don't have any education due to whatever circumstance, bad family, abuse, shitty neighbourhood that dragged you down. Doesn't matter.
You have a kid(s) that you need to provide for, or you will fuck with their future.
Your minimum wage job is barely enough (minimum wage is just a label that doesn't provide the minimum to live off), you need to have a second one just to buy stuff for you kid.
Due to this saving are never going beyond $100 - no safety net for you.
If you loose a one of your jobs your family is at risk of getting kicked out of house, no water or electricity etc.
You have no options, but to get by day after day hopping the money you make will let your kids will do better then you.
There is no need for kidnap, torture, rape, and murder. All you need to do is to cut all the 'out options' for a man so that he is forced to work for you and not complain.
Sure this is not slavery with capital S, but one with a bit of imagination can see how hopeless situation can get for people with no other options. No fallbacks.
Evidence for this is current situation with workers shortage in US. People finally got a fallback option - The stimulus cheque. And guess fucking what? They did improved their lives, got better jobs and now they don't need minimum wage labour.
Why did all of those people not do it before the stimulus cheque? Why didn't they just find a better job before?
