They used that part of the 13th that said "Well, except prisoners, those can be slaves." Local law enforcement rounded up former slaves on trumped up charges and leased them back to the same plantation owners they were freed from. Only now if they escaped they were "escaped criminals" and they could count on even northern law enforcement returning them. The US is still a pro-slavery country and will be as long as that part of the 13th amendment stands.

The US still used slavery as a source of labor up until about the mid 20th century. Southern states would do "prisoner leasing", where prisoners were basically given to farmers and plantation owners to do labor for free. It started right after the end of the Civil War. Many black boys and men were arrested on trumped up charges and "leased" back to the same plantation owners they were freed from.

Mallet. Or at least according to my CRNA father, but he could have been pulling my leg.

Nope, there absolutely is a limit to how much lidocaine they can give. It can put you in a coma or depress your CNS to the point you stop breathing or even stop your heart.

Then there's the whole corporate aspect. How can you expect corporate businesses to drive people to be in their stores if you let them loiter around outside on government provided benches? If the only place to sit is in a Starbucks and they require you to buy something to stay in the store, well...

Guess who has the money to fund shit tons of anti-union rhetoric? Guess who also owns almost all the media? Guess who also owns all the companies that produce school books?

I could go on, but I think you probably see my point. If you do, congratulate yourself, you're smarter than the average blue collar American worker.
