   For 240 years the U.S. has fueled its growth with cheap and abused labor forces that weren't allowed to vote; slaves, prisoners, women, children, migrants, indentured labor (H1B visas), "permanent" residents, and offshore workers.

   Ironically, this extremely unethical model is being disrupted not because we suddenly developed a national conscience, but because the current regime has deliberately erased that part of history and so doesn't realize its importance to their own wealth.

   But the wheels of progress must keep rolling. We've already seen increased use of child labor, as well as calls to eliminate women's suffrage. I expect prison labor in farms and factories to be a huge growth industry moving forward. And at some point it may occur to the regime that instead of deporting migrants, they should put them in work camps.

   Don't comply. Don't stand aside.

     ICE is already doing the "work or don't eat" *choice* with detainees.

     slavery is still the key economic driver of far too many industries. they have all sorts of names for it but exploited labor is what it is.
