    They can make it much larger and weaponize it. Right now it’s a fraction of our labor force, but what if it was 20% or more? What if they operated primarily as a way of punishing and torturing political opposition? They could punish a good portion of the country, and use it to scare the rest into submission.

    There’s a LOT they could do to make it worse. Forced Labor under the 13th Amendment needs to be repealed.
