This is the modern concept of slavery. No need for shackles or slave shacks. Violating these rules in society can result in job loss and more. I think this is the future unless there is a social revolution. Dying because you can't afford healthcare is just the beginning. Politicians are bought by the corporatists and their families. I fear for the future and my children's future world.
