That’s all that matters to you, I guess. As long as it isn’t literally the exact same thing as people in chains picking cotton in the fields, it’s just fine and it doesn’t matter who suffers. So fine. It isn’t literal slavery. It’s just incredibly cruel, especially to children who did nothing to deserve it.

Happy?

It’s not at all the same thing since it’s not forcible.

it’s just fine and it doesn’t matter who suffers.

Point to where I said or implied anything of the sort.

It’s just incredibly cruel, especially to children who did nothing to deserve it.

Agreed, but things don’t need to be slavery to be shitty and the offensive hyperbole is both unnecessary and misleading.

Happy?

Yeah, though the indignation is curious.

Well considering all of this turned out to be you being nitpicky when the point was to illustrate how cruel something you decided was merely an inconvenience was, yeah, I’m pretty indignant. Especially since now it’s suddenly not just inconvenient but cruel.

Make up your mind.

Inconveniences can be cruel boss, they’re not however slavery no matter how dramatic and indignate you choose to be.

You’re implying being owned and not being paid are analogous, they’re not.

No one owns your children, no one is going to whip you, you need not but your freedom if that’s even a possibility, you’re not in fact less than anyone else in a legal sense of personhood.

It’s not productive to be so hyperbolic especially when what you’re saying is incredibly offensive let alone to be indignate when someone tries to explain to you how downright cruel and insensitive you’re being.
