  Is it a key difference though ?

  If you exploit people that has only one choice : Taking whatever shit job they can… Barely paid enough to survive. They are not slave per se but their boss couldn’t be happier to have cheap labor that has no leverage whatsoever and would accept anything anyway.

  To some extent I think some big business are borderline slave owners even though you could say all their slaves could leave their job and die from hunger.

    Yes, yes it is. Unequivocally so.

    You’re looking at a post for an internship. This is not about “taking any shit job they can”. How is that not obvious to you?

    Desperate people aren’t seeking unpaid internships. Again, painfully obvious.

    To some extent I think some big business are borderline slave owners even though you could say all their slaves could leave their job and die from hunger if they wish to do so.

    What a fucking disgrace to the historical horrors of chattel slavery. You’re not a slave when you choose to work somewhere and can leave when you want. People having to have jobs to get money to buy good isn’t slavery. A business NOT paying you when you do NO WORK for them is not slavery, you ignoramus.
