Having to work is not slavery, good god. That's incredibly insulting to those who actually are slaves.

instead of getting food and housing in exchange for labor.

You do get food and housing in exchange for labor, it's money.

You have options to fight back and get higher wages, like unionization. You can choose where to work which is NOT an illusion of choice, it's a real one.

Your punishment for refusing to work

There is no form of society that can function without people working.

We are not slaves by quite some stretch, as much as Republicans want that back. "Wage slavery" is a fun term, but it doesn't actually reflect the variety of options people have available to them that real slaves do not.

As long as we can unionize, the chains cannot bind us.

Is this meme intentionally ignoring the massive progress on lgbt rights in the last decades or no? It's an overly simplistic representation of a very complicated issue

Wow, people think about their own countries more than other countries. Who would've thought!

That issue came about because of poor procedure and poor enforcement. Instead of being "you are fired immediately if camera is screwed with" it was "yeah you're chillin"

You didn't say anything offensive or ridiculously stupid, no.

Most I'd have is a mild disagreement with the statement that it's impossible to have local places--I feel like only minor adjustments would be needed for many goods in relation to that.

Shouldn't be shopping at walmart. Incredibly anti labor practices.

Everyone is raising prices with this bs why single out walmart 😆

It's a funny scenario to think about, but the skill would be so in demand someone with it could not touch a farming tool the rest of their life and still eat good
