I did. You should do it too, while also trying to grasp it. I said "essentially indentured servants", which is what most of the American workforce is (not just you and your couple of privileged friends).

They earn just enough money to cover their very very basic needs. That's essentially an indentured servant.

If you don't like it, work to change it. Don't hide from the fact trying to redefine it.

"They earn just enough money to cover their very very basic needs. That's essentially an indentured servant."

Have you ever been abroad? What is your standard of not being an indentured servant?

You describe the US workforce with profoundly negative terms that would, in my opinion, fit workforce in Bangladesh or Egypt, if not Congo.
