    Nvrmnd. I just looked this up, this is about using slave labor to fight wild fires and I don’t care for the idea whatsoever.

      I have read the entire House Report- where are you seeing that this bill creates the ability to use slave labor on fires?

          That would make sense. I was looking for any mention of Penal employees or prison labor of some kind, but was unable to find it. I guess I was naive for thinking they just meant free employees.

              Yeah, that all tracks with our current admin. Mildly surprised that I couldn’t catch that from reading the House Report. Damn villainous method to make slave labor legal again. Especially for a job where you risk your life consistently, like wildfire fighters.

        Nowhere. Because it’s already allowed. Don’t need to make something legal that’s already legal. 14th amendment literally allows for slave labor in the case of “criminals”. Why do you think they keep trying to label everyone a criminal or terrorist? We’ve been using slaves to fight fires for a long time.
