I’d rather not live in an economy/society where we have no choice but to unnecessarily labor our lives away, regardless of compensation.

Ok but for real, where do I sign?

Does the job come with insurance?

What’s the point of that question?

I’d even sing while doing it

Nah I think it’s a legit fair question and interesting topic to think about.
Picking cotton is hard, horrific, long, and painful.
How much would have been enough to have people pick cotton without slaves, would the industry be profitable before the gin? Fun to discuss imo

Yes where do I sign up ?

I mean that’s kinda the point isn’t it? No one wanted to do the job for low wages. The plantation owners needed free labor.
It’s hard labour in shit conditions, you could only force people to do the work.
Though it is the kinda question where you’d be like the ‘who starts a conversation like that’ Peter Griffin meme.

$200 an hours? I’d be singing and skipping everywhere

I have to to ask. Was my teacher the only one that did a “slave market” as a class exercise?? 8th grade back in the early 90s.

As soon as you get there you’ll find yourself chained and picking cotton to avoid a whip.

I’d sell my soul to whoever pays me that good

The task of picking crops was not the bad part of chattel slavery

Gotta be honest. Don’t think they were playing slaves.
Also very very little I would not do for $200 an hour.

I mean for that much? That’s a good rate, man.

It’s weird how manual labour becomes attractive to people when you have both consent and compensation, things the slaves did not have.

Someone in the public school system really wants to spend the rest of the semester on workers comp and they’re willing to get a broken leg over it

There are worse jobs that pay less, so why not
karoshikun on
let me guess… did some think tank or any other sort of public degenerate came to the conclusion that the lodging, food and other shit the slaves “received” in exchange for their life-long servitude amounted to $200 for an hour of work? and followed by “see how good they had it?”
yeah, it could also be a perfectly innocent way to start the conversation.

After a 10 hour work week you would be making $100,000 gross pay per year.
