Slavery never left it just got rebranded.

The Thirteenth Amendment needs to be amended.

Per Wikipedia: The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. The amendment was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House of Representatives on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865, and proclaimed on December 18, 1865. It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War.

      I’m gonna need something a bit more specific than Costco, Sam’s Club, Kroger, Walmart, and Target. Are you saying ALL products in those stores are from slave labor? Most? Some? A few obscure items?

      I don’t really have any other options for groceries where I live.

        Because that’s totally something most people have access to and can do.

        Gonna start substinence farming inside my apartment deep in the concrete jungle of the inner city, yup.

        The world has changed deeply since the era where that was a way out of this. The majority of US citizens literally do not have access to arable land.

          Indoor vertical farming is quite efficient.

          Get a tent and a light, there’s no need for attitude because you can’t think up already available solutions.
