      Agreed, however gainful employment is not slavery. There’s suffering in every human being alive, you aren’t a slave because you have mental health issues.

        When the “market rate” for the vast majority of jobs pays lower than what people need to live as more than slaves then effectively they are enslaved on a systemic level.

        Living conditions that enable people to have actual freedom. Like having agency in their society, having affordable human needs, and having financial freedom be obtainable in time for old age.
