USA does. Have you seen the wages here, versus the cost of living? A person could work over 100 hours per week and still not be able to afford food, clothing and shelter. Its wage slavery. Additionally, the Constitution's 13th Amendment explicitly permits forced labor when someone in the notoriously unjust and corrupt legal system decides they want more slaves:

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Yeah another reason why I'm likely leaving the US for good this year. The whole country is an unsalvageable shitshow.
