How Millions Are Trapped In Modern-Day Slavery At Brick Kilns In PakistanEntire families in Pakistan work dangerous jobs at brick kilns to pay off snowballing debts to kiln owners. Workers don't have bank accounts and make so little they have to keep borrowing just to get by.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAOypGQdzGU

@stux Caste systemEurope got rid of it / slavery hundreds ago because it kills economy. However some countries have it.Pakistan has nukes but whole country depends on caste system. Same like India - caste system is there for 2 500 years - https://www.e-ir.info/2012/11/26/the-impact-of-european-colonialism-on-the-indian-caste-system/ (second paragraph for bottom)You can't change it unless they (countries) want to. However it's part of their culture...

@stux OMG. That is so hideous. Something needs to be done world wide about that kind of treatment.

@stux The US used to have debt slavery like that up until the 1930's. They were usually company towns in remote locations. Some of my mom's side of the family used to live in one

@stux This is very sad. That work could easily be automated so people would not have to suffer those harsh conditions. Those poor donkeys were also being forced into labor. They should be allowed to roam free in the field and graze at their leisure. Unfortunately this happens all over the world. The Uyghurs in China are forced into labor and in the United States undocumented immigrants are forced to harvest food crops and treated unfairly for fear that they will be deported as undocumented immigrants.

@stux Just because other people have worse problems doesn't mean your problems aren't problems.And if your problems are about inequality and wealth distribution, remember that there's people who want you to knuckle under and keep quiet about it until they can find a way to get you and everyone else into debt slavery too.

@stux More specifically, capitalism is unfair. It is based on the idea of profit through paying workers less than the value of their contribution.
