  1. That's how slavery started.

  2. 1965 minimum wage was $1.50 1965 gold was $35.50 for ounce 2023 minimum wage $14. 2023 gold. $1850. Technology has made many of us obsolete. Egypt and past great civilizations relied on man power. Industrial age followed by technological age has reduced the value of human labor. You don't need 5 million man armies anymore. You don't need thousands of slaves to push that Boulder up a hill. You don't need thousands of slaves to pick cotton.

  3. Child trafficking and prostition still goes on. People do value people. As wealth and power. How much could a pimp make from a 14 year old girl? Is that the type of wealth and value you seek? You people are so stupid sometimes.

  4. Slavery ended. Because you weren't worth enslaving. Your value as a human labor falling ended slavery. Understand? Not morality, but economy.

  6.  @michaelmartin4883  you couldn't pay me to enslave You Michael. I'd have to feed, clothe, house, provide medical. What could you possibly do to provide value that technology cannot provide? Unabomber had a point about how technology will reduce our value. It has and will continue to do so. Especially with A.I. and robotics. Professional nurses and doctors can be replaced. Lawyers can be replaced. Engineers can be replaced just as easily as tractors and fertilizers replaced human labor.

  7.  @michaelmartin4883  your 'value' Michael, is whatever the next bid on you is. Price of anything, or value, is whatever the next buyer and seller agrees upon. You don't have a fixed value. It's always changing depending on circumstances.

  8.  @michaelmartin4883  your family, your wife will value you more than anything in the world. But I would trade you for a tank of gas. That's reality.

  9.  @michaelmartin4883  ironically, value of people would skyrocket, if there was less of us. Supply and demand.
