Reply #116: It's much worse than serf labor

[TorchTheWitch]

Serfs got free housing and food. Yes, the housing sucked, but back then it was normal to bed down with the animals in one big room... even the people privileged to live in the castle all slept in the straw on the floor with the everyone else.

This is WORSE than serfdom. At least a serf or peasant got SOMETHING tangible for their labor even if it was just enough to buy a loaf of bread for a day's work. This is even WORSE than that, and it's beyond appalling. It's utter madness.

The fact that any of these people actually believe that people will work entirely for free with no actually tangible reward whatsoever like housing and meals shows just how completely out of touch with the human race they are. NOT EVEN A SERF OR PEASANT OF OLD WOULD WORK FOR ABSOLUTELY NO TANGIBLE REWARD. Why the hell would they? The only people who would even consider doing such a thing in this far more enlightened and educated world is someone who's needs and wants are already being taken care of by someone else with a DEFINITE reward at the end of it as in a full-time job at a good salary guaranteed... and those people are VERY few and VERY far between.

Complete and utter madness.
