When I look at this list, all I see is slavery. I'm among the people who "don't work" I'm a very hard working person who doesn't work. Because my job is theatre, which doesn't pay, unless it does, and is so sporadic, that I don't make enough to file taxes. But I feel it's necessary, and someone has to do this work, because it HAS a purpose.
I wonder how many of the 40% not working are working for free.
When I look at this, it's clear to me that we are already, and truly, all slaves.

I know that people don't like the word "slavery" tossed around. But this is a mistake. Or we won't know what is happening to us. It reminds me of how rape victims often take years to realize they've been raped. For years they will tell themselves what happened to them was normal, their fault, not an attack. And then one day, they come to and realize, "Oh, shit. I am at the mercy of someone else's control."
