Getting paid 50 cents an hour to get put in a life-threatening situation because the state doesn’t want to hire firefighters, and would rather pay its prison population a pittance.
Are you under the impression that these prisoners are the only people fighting the fires in California? That is not the case, if that’s your impression.
Apologies, yes california does employ some ppl to fight fires with the help of some slaves, my bad.

Good people don’t make excuses to abuse human beings.
You’re a bad person.

You realize that’s not what you’re replying to, right? That suggesting lots of people are fighting fires doesn’t actually advocate for slavery; right?
Your quick condemnation was neat-o, though.
The post they’re replying to is nitpicking. What difference does it make to this argument if only some of the firefighters are slaves? The point is that slave labor is being employed to avoid paying all the people fighting the fire a reasonable amount.
