This post sent me down a rabbit hole. Fun fact: company scrip/employer debt bondage in general has been illegal in England and Wales since 1464
In the US, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 outlawed it.
I'm sure it's not beyond the wit of Bezos and his teams of ghouls to reinstate debt bondage while somehow staying within the letter of these kinds of law.
