    They’ll just make a whole lot of stuff illegal, selectively enforce those laws, and BOOM increase the prison slave population. Hell, the South did it after the Civil War to get it’s slave labor back, how hard would it be to do nationwide now.

      … you’ve just described America as it is. The legal concept of loitering is exactly what you described and it’s so old you thought it was always around.

      The US has openly practiced slavery for its entire history. Private slavery at that. Nationwide, with full support from all political parties in power.

      The US has the largest slave population in the world. One of the largest in world history. That was before Trump.
