Motorways are good for productivity.
AI is good for productivity.
But you know what’s even better for productivity?
Slaves!
Of course I believe in libertarianistical democracy.
But when you look at some of the people who get to vote,
you really can’t help thinking the boat would go a lot faster without them.
We tucked up last night and watched a nature documentary.
It’s so hot when the lions catch the baby gazelle.

Thoughts about modern slavery
- An estimated 50 million people are trapped in modern slavery globally (as of 2021 data)
- Victims of forced labour are deprived of approximately $21 billion in wages each year
- The average debt bondage trap is around $400-500, yet victims remain enslaved for years
- Nearly 1 in 4 victims of modern slavery are children
- Women and girls represent 71% of all modern slavery victims
- An estimated $130 billion worth of goods imported to developed economies each year are produced using forced labour
It could be your T-shirt, it could be your headphones, it could be your car. Who we buy from can make a difference. It’s worth trying.
