      Oh, by the way, there could be quite an interesting slavery where people become peasants again with cheap identification marks on their bodies like cattle, like tattoos, and there will also be biometrics.

      They provided slaves with food and shelter. That’s all that many can afford now. But we have the freedom to travel if we can afford to, you know, when we’re not busy slaving.

        We accrue non-slave-time slowly at approximately 2 weeks per year. We can use it for leisure, but that’s expensive, so gotta budget for it! And we also must spend a week before and after slaving extra hard to make sure the masters don’t notice our lack of slaving while we’re away.
