    “Why are you complaining!?”

    “Your master gives you food, and drink, and shelter and clothing. How dare you say that the yoke of slavery has done nothing for you!”

    Says the slave to the other slave.

      Yeah exactly. If you ever find yourself in a place where you are not buying the basics of life, but are rather having them given to you, that’s your wake up call that you are owned by someone else.

        That’s what your wage is. A stipend from your slave owner for necessities. Most won’t give you more than they’re forced to.
