If slavery was legal and about to be made illegal, would you argue the same point?

Slavery is still a thing. Some authorities warn that there are more slaves today than at any time in history (e.g., https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/feb/25/modern-slavery-... ).

This isn't slavery. But good job dismissing the reality of slavery by comparing it to a voluntary paid job.

Except slavery is non-consensual whereas working in a shitty job isn't.
