Welcome to the point, everyone. Just think of all the low-income suppressed-education workers this will generate.

slavery never died. it just put on a new suit.

we fought a war to end it the first time. i fail to see why we should be so polite now.

It didn’t even put on a new suit. It’s still legal as long as it’s a punishment.

64,000 and counting as of last month
