You can become someone's slave if you really want to. The only part that can't be enforced is you can't be coerced to stay.
Plenty of cults have slaves in the US. But because the are willing, nothing is done about it.
- ahhhhnoooo 7mo agoHeck, plenty of us companies still rely on slave labor. Look at Aramark's use of prisoners, for example.
- wat10000 7mo agoThat's an explicit carveout in the Constitution allowing slavery as punishment for a crime, not someone waiving their rights.
