Bravo! Outstanding explanation. I got lost on like the second sentence though. If you have the time, can you also ELI5
dial into with a modem
It's a common enough expression but what does it even mean?

It's not free, you get billed for it upon release. Combine that with diminished employment opportunities and you've got a recipe for repeat offenders. It's slavery but with extra steps for plausible deniability, which is still slavery.
Yes it is because as soon as you stop working you will most likely die an unpleasant death from povery, violence, preventable disease linked to malnutrition etc.. If you don't have a choice, then it's slavery.
As others have pointed out, there is still slavery in America. Wage slavery is slavery. Tying healthcare access to employment doesn't help.
Fisk is talking about the Musk. He's there, trying to eat your labor rights.
No doubt that's appealing to some (one example is the USA civil rights movement in the 1960s, especially with states conforming to federal laws that mandate desegregation of schools) but I think another advantage for the privileged is the lack of competition for good jobs, study places etc.. If 50% of your peers are kept in slums then just by biological outcomes (lack of nutrition and sleep) the odds are very much in your favor. Throw in the psychological effects of poverty, mass incarceration, addiction and you have a situation like a running race where half the contestants have a broken leg. Fear of a level playing field might be another factor in why the privileged don't want equal rights. BUT, imagine if we had 50% more people working on a cure for cancer etc.
It's funny because extending rights to marginalized people does not by any means diminish the rights of the privileged.
No no, you have to say it like "that's more people than 32 ice cream trucks full of baby elephants than the Super Bowl".
Exactly!
Oh, thanks for the link.
Reading that this is something Yamas does regularly sounds like it would be terrifying to Palestinians.
That's great! I haven't been keeping up with the news on that. What was the outcome?
