The transformation back into feudalism is nearly complete. Calling bad stuff "feudalism" is extremely tiresome as well as showing ignorance. It's unfortunate you have to muddy-up an otherwise OK rant/summary with this confused terminology. Conventional agricultural labor on the land wasn't easy but it extraordinarily different from low-paid factor labor. This a return to Factory Capitalism Classic, which was a new system in most places starting in early 19th century. Peasant children might well have worked along side their parents in the fields at times and the work might have been back-breaking at times but the growing season then dictated everyone got substantial time off by virtue of there being nothing to do. Factories, mines and workshops were the first places that could impose relentless 18 hour days because they the organization, technologies and market to do that.

neo feudalism is not about agriculture > Neo-feudalism or new feudalism is the contemporary rebirth of policies of governance, economy, and public life, reminiscent of those which were present in many feudal societies. Such aspects include, but are not limited to: Unequal rights and legal protections for common people and for nobility,[1] dominance of societies by small and powerful elite groups of society, and relations of lordship and serfdom between the elite and the people. Obviously, former are rich and the latter poor. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-feudalism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-feudalism and it's an excellent and poignant term for the golden faucets wealthy vs two jobs hungry kids poor, backed by "prosperity gospel" and slave prison labor and disenfranchisement of felons and other human rights violations.

  That the misuse of terminology has gotten large enough to have a wikipedia page doesn't mean it's not misuse. These policies are only "reminiscent" of feudalism in the minds of those who don't know the history of conventional capitalism.

    I still disagree. > the history of conventional capitalism. ..is rooted in feudalism isn't it... the mentality is similar, you nearly own people who can be grateful they are allowed to work for you, and you consider yourself more entitled than those. the only däshift is from owning people born on your soil to nearly owning people who work for you. and as they need these frickin "brains" for their work and that makes them crave "freedom" you have to give them as much freedom as needed --- and as little as it's sufficient --- so they move cash your way. the term neo-feudalism is well understood and has a well defined meaning, as established by the mere existence of the Wikipedia article. what we see is a concerted attempt of some golden faucets to push the world as feudal as can be. as little personal freedom, as much bubbling-up economy as possible. it's a pushdiwn of social market economy via capitalism back to high tech neo feudalism.
