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.

    Hmm. Yeah, my local farmer’s markets are expensive, but the CSA subscriptions are reasonable (i.e. the ones where you pay upfront for the season’s produce, reducing the farmer’s risk, then get a box of produce every week). Some, you can volunteer on the farm to get “free” food.

      All the subscriptions I’ve looked at are significantly costlier than grocery stores, on the same order as the ship I mentioned. I get the impression that they’re trying to just tybdercut restaurant prices, as if their target market is people who would otherwise eat out every meal. Maybe I’m just not finding the right ones, but what I can budget for is restaurant supply and warehouse prices.

        Most of my local ones are registered on https://www.localharvest.org/ (their map seems to be messed up right now, but seems to work if you type in a zipcode, select CSA from the dropdown, and press “GO”). They are more expensive than groceries stores, but don’t use heavily exploited labor, and you often get a lot of weird/cool stuff normal grocery stores don’t sell.
