      Note that the US still has slavery - the 13th amendment contains an exception for prison labor. Which is widely abused for literal slave labor.

        Slavery also exists in the US illegally but goes under reported due to often involving immigrants living in fear of deportation

          don’t forget that children and the disabled are also often labor trafficked.

          labor trafficking happens way more than sex trafficking, but all y’all got your panties in a wad about sex trafficking so all y’all think the only trafficking worth caring about is sex trafficking. my sister who spent a few years working in labor trafficking prosecution and couldn’t get juries to convict because it was just labor and not sex trafficking quit law altogether after the experience.

          public opinion thinks slavery is okay if it’s for profit and you give them pennies. just as long as you don’t fuck them.

          and you all are the public
