      If they were paid $0.01 per hour, would you say they were being paid?

      If yes, then clearly, “being paid” is not the dividing line between slavery and freedom, so you should establish how much you think someone should be paid for it to not be slavery.

        Yes, I would say that they were being paid, on account of the payments

        Hope that helps!

          I did not vote on a single message in this thread.

          But yeah, the people migrating over here are getting edgier with their hot takes.
