The Qataris are used to imported semi-slave labor to do that stuff for them

Do you really believe they're semi-slaves? Or just paid much less than they

They are essentially slaves.

I'd argue less so than those who built the smartphone you're blasting me on

Then argue it, because all you've done so far is assert it.

I'm not that smart. I guess I'll just assert it.

Not to mention agriculture (even in US), hospitality, garment production, etc

Well, I've had some of those"slaves" over for Thanksgiving. Simple, bad English

So basically your response to it is... "Trust me, I've been there."

I'm not asking you to trust me. I trust me. But I don't trust journalists

It beats not letting them in to work at all.

That's an oddly similar argument that was made for slavery.
chrisoc13

Genghis Spreads
11/22/22 9:22am
They were brought with false promises. There is a lot of documentation

Some were. Most weren't.

Some were, but that's not an excuse to shut out everybody from coming to work.

Perhaps for indentured servants. Slavery is not entered into willfully.

I presume you're referring specifically to southern plantation slavery in the US

I agree. Diversity is our strength. We should apply this philosophy at home in our jobs, schools, and neighborhoods.

Great find. It's interesting how different cultures view this type of work.

They probably have more lower wage people doing the work.
