Modern slavery in Amazon yet again. If there was any loophole that allowed the use of "classic" slavery, manacles, whips and all, I bet Amazon would be the first to jump at a chance to chain their workers to product racks too...

And all of us all over the world who give them money are supporting this. I need to try much harder to de-Amazon my life, and I wish governments were not bought and paid for and threw the book at them HARD every time they do shit like this...

Never forget that Amazon filed a patent for a wage cage to lock their employees in for maximum efficiency
