American Capitalism Is Brutal. You Can Trace That to the Plantation. (Published 2019)
"Cotton was to the 19th century what oil was to the 20th: among the world’s most widely traded commodities.
"Cotton is everywhere, in our clothes, hospitals, soap.
"Before the industrialization of cotton, people wore expensive clothes made of wool or linen and dressed their beds in furs or straw.
"Whoever mastered cotton could make a killing.
"But cotton needed land.
"A field could only tolerate a few straight years of the crop before its soil became depleted.
"Planters watched as acres that had initially produced 1,000 pounds of cotton yielded only 400 a few seasons later."

That doesn't mean isn't mutually agreed to, idiot. 'A' isn't responsible for the circumstances of 'B' unless he created those circumstances.Labor often times is not mutually agreed to, one side offers a wage the other often times doesn't have a choice.

we have a federal government that sometimes protects workers from wage exploitation.
What institution prints the money that individuals and businesses use to pay their taxes?We need a similar amendment and a similar "wall of separation" to keep state power and economic power distinct and separate.
Well slavery is illegal, and should remain that way.Labor often times is not mutually agreed to, one side offers a wage the other often times doesn't have a choice.
