  I want to take up his point. It’s much more like medieval serfdom than slavery. Such as:

  • Shit salary instead of no salary.
  • Can’t me sold.
  • Has rights (more than a slave, less than a free man)

  Although serfs were bound to the land unlike US prisoners where they can be transferred from location to location.

    So, you get punished if you quit. That makes it not voluntary.
