I think this article starts to touch on a topic area I don't hear much about but am extremely frustrated by: how modern work for a lot of jobs has become de facto indentured servitude. In the "When They Know They've Got You" section, they mention the real challenges of not being able to obtain a lawyer if things truly aren't fair. The average worker can't afford anything without taking on debt. Insurance is a scam in a lot of cases but if a worker is sick it will only hurt the worker not the company a lot of the time. To make matters much worse, the corporations lobby the government and fund all candidates and have seemingly captured the government so no changes are being made. Healthcare, extremely high rent, and things like property tax where failure to pay sends you to prison are used as the means of coercion. If the United States continues on the current political course, nothing will ever change.
