You’re using the word “slavery” rhetorically, more or less, but in the eyes of a Sociopathic Oligarch, we are already living on literal slave wages. They couldn’t imagine living on the average annual income in this country, but they expect us to, and work harder on top of it.

They would pay us nothing, like the olden days, but then they’d have to cover our food and housing, and that would cost them more. So they pay us just barely enough to keep us from revolting.

We are already slaves.
