The more underpaid people are, the more we recognize the slave system created by schools.

 what do you mean?

 We're talking modern slavery. We'll call it slavery, but to those who make shoes for Nike, it's a job.

Same for Lithium miners and a list of other jobs. The locals don't have many options and they're the ones who sign up to work in those places. 

'They're severely underpaid by our humaine standards, so we call their jobs slavery.' But really it isn't much different than what people do every single day.

Schools don't focus on making people rich. It's focused more on trades for economic functionality. Schools don't teach about finance or investing. 

In the end most people don't get to be what they went to school for, as positions are filled, and there are more graduates than positions available year after year. With that most people work in jobs they hate. They just have to do it.

While people are working in jobs they hate, some would call that slavery while othets won't, unless the pay is stupid low. Our legal systems prevents the minimum wage to be lower.

Few months ago we had a Biblical discussion about Slavery. And how slavery used to be a profession. People would intentionally become slaves as a lifestyle. 

Keeping slaves is never free. They must be fed and looked after meaning they'll need a place.

Of course that offends people today. But it's roughly the same thing as modern work, except the worker can look after themselves aside from the expenses that comes with their service to their boss/employer. 

But you are not the property of your boss. You can quit at any time and get a new job or become your own boss.

I suppose it is strange to call the job market monopoly litium and cobalt mining companies have over these people slavery. I dont know if they have other choices for employment in those areas. But if they dont, it is effectively slavery: the absence of choice and freedom. 

If you get paid less than a dollar a day for hard labor BUT at any point you can walk away for a different job, is that really slavery?

 That's not realistic. Jobs themselves are treated as a resource.

Also, you need expensive things to get by like a vehicle and a license.

There's that thing Kanye said. "Slavery is a choice". That offends people. 

In the modern world that might be true as far as general labor is concerned. 

For the record Joe Biden supports unethical work overseas. So his donars big corporations, can get cheap labor from places like Foxconn.

Oh yeah, back when he was ranting about how his people chose to be slaves? 🤣

He's such a victim of privilege.

He's been moving jobs back to the US hasn't he?

I believe they call that an Internship.

Just ride a bike or take the bus.

Depending on where you live there's pretty good public transportation.
