Would you go to jail for 5 years if you got 1.1M dollars when you got out?
@basedbagel For me hell yea. But
Sound like easy version of military. Where I do nothing live in room, getting food and if I want I can join some group be it learning or working if I want.
But must be something on lv EU prisons not on Columbia lv prison I do not want to be in gulag or concentration camp.
@Stahesh
I forgot not all of you are on countries with harsh prison conditions.
I might need to make a new poll...
As for me no amount of $ is worth my freedom . (I'm also a soft pastry that wouldn't last s day on jail)
Vagrancy Laws combined with Property tax have turned employment into Slavery
This is not a question of how much you value your freedom
But how many years of freedom you can get in exchange for how many years of one type of slavery as opposed to another type of slavery
Is 5 years of slavery to an employer worse or better than 5 years of jail slavery
If the jail slavery is worse how many years of freedom from employment slavery is that money worth
@shortstories
I see your point but employment /= slavery. That's a stretch
@Stahesh
Employment alone is not slavery
Employment only becomes slavery in a certain societal context such as vagrancy laws plus property tax and possibly other contexts
Creating an underclass by making it harder to build wealth is wrong, but it's not slavery.
More like neo feudalism.
You still have autonomy to leave and build wealth
Where can I leave to lie my head to sleep without paying property taxes for the place I sleep to keep from going to jail?
To pay property taxes I must be involved in the employment system?
How can I leave the border without a passport? How can I get the passport without money from the employment system?
I can not just farm vegetables in peace because I must pay tax on the farmland & to pay tax on the farmland I must make undesired financial transactions with a 3rd party
Paying tax on farmland requires trading for money with customers which requires working for a 3rd party without consent which is slavery
