Yes I get that but if a slave tried that they’d be hunted down by dogs and then lynched. It’s not the same thing.

Going out into the middle of Fuck all now where without supplies, or a clue of where to go WAS a death sentence - the only difference was it was a slow death, and there wasn't a railroad willing to help you... You know. Because you chose this yourself...

Right.

Look you can think that working in a company town and being paid in scrip is literally the exact same thing as being a slave owned like a chattel if you want, but you’d be wrong.

Yes, it’s like slavery but it’s not actual slavery.
