If you’re talking about the US, you are incredibly misinformed. Selling slaves for money was an insanely lucrative business. It’s not called “The Transatlantic Slave Here You Can Just Have Some”

You do have to feed, keep them healthy, clothe and shelter them along with you and your family - plus they did cost money to buy, they don't spontaneously appear. You'd need a modicum of wealth to afford and keep one. Not much, but some.

slaves were a one time purchase, workers were subscriptions

Are you actually shitposting if you don't get downvoted?

A lot of people in this thread are the must be fun at parties types. Some are also afflicted with whoosh syndrome and somehow they try to make it everybody else’s problem.
