Oh right, I forgot, they were "slaves" when we paid them in food and permanent job security and they're "employees" now that they're paid in imaginary fiat backed only by the threat of violence and have to shuck and jive to not be thrown back onto the street to starve. Major distinction.

Seriously though, if you don't pay your slave it dies of starvation or exposure. You'd make a terrible master, but that's okay, it's why you're a peasant and I'm a capital king.

i was calling the other guy an idiot, but..

it would be a better way to "repay a debt to society" by making clothes and food for orphans than by wasting away in tiny rooms. and you can even give them a portion of the food they make to feed themselves.

yes, forced labor in prisons would do a certain amount to defray the cost of imprisonment, but ultimately a quick bullet to the head for all non-White offenders would defray even more of that cost. Homeland security already has billions of 'em stockpiled; we could be converting them into gold like alchemists.

Hehe it's posts like this that if you went deep into the minds eye, bigj can see how he became the person he once pretended to be.

It may seem counterintuitive, but forced labor is not the most economically viable mode of production anyway.

It's far more profitable for a master to simply defray a small part of his slave's living expenses and then release them into the jungle, trusting starvation will ensure their return, than it is to provide cradle-to-grave care and constant security. Overt slavery increases the sense of alienation from labor product, which affects morale which affects productivity. Simply renaming slavery to something else and turning the ownership of slaves into temporary contract, with 'freedom' to re-enlist with another master anytime instead of a lifetime commitment results in a multitude of effects that ultimately benefit the bottom line.

Fun fact. Do you know who ended slavery across their entire culture? White people.

Another fun fact. Do you know who invented slavery and still practice it today? Peoples from the middle east/northeast Africa.
