      Missing the forest for the trees. This is commentary on how unpaid labor is exploitative, not how slavery and unpaid labor are the same.

      I think they’re making commentary on unpaid labor being akin to slave labor, Ina humorous tone. So, probably not being serious when it comes to comparing the two, but unpaid internships are closer to slavery than cleopatra was to the pyramids so I’d say it’s a fair comparison.
