True. We can also look at Amazon trying to quash unions. I think in society where corporations will always hold people in the neck b/c they know how to feed-off their needs.

Slavery was never actually abolished in the USA. Go read the 13th Amendment...

And it was in the last mid term elections, I believe 5 states voted on the subject and 1 decided to keep it for jails inmates. Really is a case of “do as I say and not as I do”.
