Slavery never left it just got rebranded.

The Thirteenth Amendment needs to be amended.

Per Wikipedia: The Thirteenth Amendment (Amendment XIII) to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. The amendment was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House of Representatives on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865, and proclaimed on December 18, 1865. It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War.

    $300-400 buys me enough groceries for a half year. A few tomatoes don’t give me enough calories to survive even close to a half year. And don’t even get me started on the electricity cost of attempting this in Germany.

    It’s not an option for everyone

        Lol idk what he’s doing to survive on $300-400 for half a year, I doubt Germany is that cheap. If I cook a decent meal once per day and get some sandwich material for breakfast, that’s still gonna add up to like $200 a month for me.

        Now if you cook potatoes and/or pasta and/or rice without any sauce, condiments, protein, etc… You could probably go half a year on $300-400. But you WILL hate yourself at the end of week 1 and also be severely lacking protein lol
