With all due respect, you sound like you fell through a time warp from 1994.

Yes, you can SURVIVE. And you are MISSING THE POINT about the current system being designed to keep people in a state of SURVIVAL. If you are living paycheck to paycheck, and one bad catastrophe or health crisis bankrupts you or makes you homeless, you are NOT free.

Some people don't have options, or have situations that complicate using the options you approve of. And for those fortunate enough, simply having "options" is not enough; they need a real plan to get out of survival mode because the next time they're in a crisis, they'll be back at square one.

Also...
Homeless people are infamous for being, well...homeless.

Never say this again.

I'm not missing anything. There is a distinct difference between being poor and being a slave.

The poor fight to keep from becoming slaves. They're not in a hurry to toss away their freedom and head into the slave mill.

It seems to me, that in your book, being "free" means not having to work.

Or do you really consider a job to be the same as being forced into a house to do work, where all of your 'wages' are taken by your employer. Where you are repeatedly beaten based on a perceived dip in performance. Where you are unable to associate with anyone your boss hasn't approved. Where your activities are closely monitored by your boss. Where your potential offspring is at immediate risk of being exploited and abused just the same. Where you are to be killed or punished even further for attempting any sort of escape.

Is that so similar to working fast food, where you could become a manager, or pick up a second job, and eventually have a better life?

Your logic is really backwards. It's like, you think the ideal situation would be for no one to use the word slavery until all labor rights had been repealed and everyone who wasn't a billionaire had been forced into a prison. People who fought for better working conditions and more freedom have called the degradation and impoverishment of the working class enslavement all this time, throughout history. And it has always been a call to action.

What planet do you have to be on to shame working people for challenging the difference between how they have to live and the rich's opulence? Between "we need austerity" and the giant snow-mall in Abu Dhabi? https://www.timeoutabudhabi.com/attractions/snow-abu-dhabi-guide When their work made the riches the rich are sitting on, and all the luxuries in the world?

The poor- or working poor if they're still employed- ARE more often than not slaves to bad jobs!

I have a friend who cannot leave her cashier job of 30 years. Why? Because she needs to pay the bills. She could get another job... If somewhere was hiring. She cannot afford to move.

Meaning she is stuck being torn apart by Karen and Kevin because their coupons expired, day after day, and is constantly coming home and having a mental breakdown and crying over messages because she literally has no choice but to continue in this job. She can't afford to move from her small home town, she can't find another, better job, and she's been through college for a history degree.

How is this not slavery? Her choice are be treated like shit while her body breaks down while she stands at a cash register, or be unable to pay the bills at all.
