I don't want to get political but I fear I'll have to. First world countries were forced to stop enslaving the workforce of foreign countries in the post-colonial era so, in order for their model to keep going, they are now switching to enslave their own domestic workforce. Will people realize and oppose this process? Or will people just accept everything?

Americans are some of the most docile, obedient workers on earth. They'll not only accept it, they'll love it.
They'll brag about that grind culture, brah.
Why enslave people when you can delude/propagandize people from birth to self-enslave?
My boss brags about working 100+ days without a day off. I told him I worked 5 months without a day off. It's not something to be proud of. It's not something you want to brag about.
What did I get for working that much? A fucking mental breakdown that I am still trying to recover from two years later.
They trained us well
Please sir, may I have half of what I got last time? Just make sure rape victims are forced to give birth.
Have you considered Federal or State employment so you can tell corporations to fuck themselves? Good pay, excellent benefits, and a pension.
I feel like there was a fair gap in there that is kinda being glossed over. Like yes, but we also were doing it right there for a minute until we gave the wealthy even more money and recreated feudalism only slightly different.
The American dream
With the words of your Carlin: "of course it's a dream. You gotta be asleep to believe it"

Try 3… everything is so expensive and I’m just so unbelievably tired all the time. This is not sustainable.
"In his time in office, this leader has created 25,000 new jobs!"
"Each of these jobs offers a living wage, full time employment, and will not be redundant for at least 10 years or more, right?"
"..."
"Right?"
Not really too surprising.
