    1. When it comes to global warming, these slaveholders outpace all but the very biggest polluters. Adding together their slave-based deforestation and other CO2-producing crimes leads to a sobering conclusion. If slavery were an American state it would have the population of California and the economic output of the District of Columbia, but it would be the world’s third-largest producer of CO2, after China and the United States.

      That really puts the slavery industry into a more relatable perspective. Relatable as in we are more able to envision it.

    1. life has become a scramble for survival in a population divided between those with guns and those without. This chaos is the perfect breeding ground for slavery.

      This is so sad. These people live in paradise and yet must fend for their lives in order to survive on their own land. And in order to survive, they must abide to slavery because they are being threatened with guns. They and their loved ones are forced into this, because they are "in the way" of production. Either they work or die.
