So slavery as indentured servitude is the American future. Way to "new model" the old model.

Yeah I'll admit "escape" didn't do me any favors LOL, but I meant it more in the context of my family and the difference in social mobility. Factories can be, and ought to be, great places to work, I just don't think a person can do that work for their entire life. Just like a factory should be a great place to work, it should also be possible for people to find other places to work.

By the way, it's nice to be able to talk about it without it getting hostile in the way social media tends to do. :)
