That's a different scenario than the one I presented. Sure, people would be upset if the four people got their dinner by using slaves. Hence my point that the "why" really matters.

Historically, and currently, slave labor is used.

However, I believe I've stated more than just slave labor. It's a very relative thing, but it appears many people are certainly underpaid compared to the wealth they generate for the few. It's starting to feel like people in tech believe otherwise because they're compensated better than average and therefore might be "above it all". I think that's alarming and short-sighted.
