Disgusting how it takes rich Hollywood stars to get modern slavery to be talked about.

If you ask me that's proof America's done already.

Considering how slavery was once far more widespread and enforced in the open by the full weight of the legal system, and how this is not a new phenomenon, I think America will survive.

That said, I hope more can be done to shine a light on it and combat it, starting with a means of licensing and protecting seasonal workers.
