> The fact of the matter is, virtually no one has been or is a slave

why do you believe that?

I think it's supposed to mean: "virtually _no one alive_ has been.."
That's a pretty strange thing to believe as well.

One source puts the number of humans alive in 2016 that have been or are currently slaves by some definition at 40.3 million.
