What corporation is forcing someone to work for them against their will? One can hardly be considered a slave while working for a corporation if they are free to quit.
America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace.

The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you dont care about making a living.
Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve.

I AM, however, strongly ethically opposed to the way we have been distributing these exchange-tokens so far, which looks like this and is only getting WORSE:
