    I agree with labor protections, but also let’s not compare people who have a choice of workplace, paid a wage, have benefits, aren’t owned by someone, cannot be bought or sold, and count as a full 5/5 of a person for the purposes of federal resource distribution to slaves who had none of those things.

        The smartest thing about wage slavery is that our whole system runs on it. Everyone is born into the system and it just continues to perpetuate. At some point we have to redistribute wealth to help the general population succeed more. People should not have to worry about their basic needs for example. Food, shelter, healthcare, education. They should all be covered no questions asked.
