      If they were paid $0.01 per hour, would you say they were being paid?

      If yes, then clearly, “being paid” is not the dividing line between slavery and freedom, so you should establish how much you think someone should be paid for it to not be slavery.

        Yes, I would say that they were being paid, on account of the payments

        Hope that helps!

          By this logic, there were no slaves at any point in American history because all those people we brought over from Africa and bred into servitude were paid in food and shelter.

          I really hope this is trolling.

          Lmao, this place can just hold pieces of shit like you more accountable without you being able to cry to the Reddit mods/Admins that people are mean to you.

          Maybe take your ass back to your Reddit echo chamber since you’re just realizing normal people do no agree with your right wing bullshit.

          I did not vote on a single message in this thread.

          But yeah, the people migrating over here are getting edgier with their hot takes.
