    America never moved on from relying on slave labour. It only adapted it.

    At first it was still brown people with a corrupt justice and correctional system that locked up innocent people and rented them out as legal forced labour.

    Then it became just maintaining a large basin of poor people through putting hurdles in the way of higher education and poverty traps (in which brown people are overrepresented). The point being to make them desperately fight over limited "unskilled jobs" for which they get paid just enough to keep them too busy starving to fight for better conditions.

    I know Americans who work 65+ hours a week and can't even afford their own apartment. Forget raising kids on top of that. People are literally kept too busy to do anything about it. During COVID we saw people starting to refuse to do those jobs for that pay but we never saw a durable breakthrough.
