It’s an inconvenience, the fact you can’t find another word but literal slavery implies it’s validity.

It could, but the fact you have equity in property is pretty good nigh definitive evidence that you are not in fact a slave.

It’s my argument any more or less valid based on what I make or what I’m worth? Tell me, how does it in fact change anything I’ve spoken about.

I can find plenty of other words: cruel, heartless, disgusting, immoral, inhuman.

But you think being homeless is just inconvenient rather than a possible death sentence. Again, how rich are you?

Oxford dictionary

trouble or problems, especially in connection with what you need or would like yourself

We apologize for the delay and regret any inconvenience it may have caused.

So then, is it by definition an inconvenience. You may not like it being factual but it is.

a person who is owned by another person and is forced to work for and obey them

Not quite the same there huh? You know, what with the owned as property thing.

Again, is my class as perceived by you somehow altering the English language or basic human decency? No, then what does it matter. If we’re being classiest I know someone who’s posted pictures of their old world hardwood library bigger than a lot of folks living spaces. So if it matters, how rich are you?

Despite me asking first, I’ll tell you: I’m poor. I’m unemployed. We’re on a single income. I’m thousands of dollars in medical debt, I’m also suffering from two debilitating chronic illnesses which might not be treatable if my wife had to quit her job and find some other work because they stopped paying her for who knows how long and get something with worse insurance.

Again, how rich are you?

I think the fact that you refuse to answer that question means the answer is “very.”
