People like to think slavery is a thing of the past, something that ended long ago. But if you take a closer look at the modern workforce, you’ll see that it never really went away—it just changed form. Today, people aren’t chained up and forced to work under threat of a whip. Instead, they’re trapped by low wages, rising costs of living, and the constant fear of losing everything if they stop working. The 9-5 job isn’t freedom—it’s a slow, quiet kind of slavery, disguised as opportunity.
