>'Indentured'? I call hyperbole. Quit, go home. That's something a true indentured servant couldn't do.

What if they have debts to pay off at home, and it's the only realistic option available? Going home means not being able to pay those debts off.

I get it; we all have to work. But piling up debts then having to work (somewhere) to pay them off - that isn't 'indentured servitude' either.
