The same way all the exploitation the west does in the countries that have been colonized is hidden. As long as people don't have to look at the actual cost of producing their cheap shit, they don't care.

When was the last time you or anyone you know saw prison slave labor at work?

Edit: For the life of me, I can't figure out what's controversial about saying it is hidden and you've probably never seen slave labor at work.

As a Canadian, I've been hoping you guys could abolish slavery since I learned of it decades ago.

As a Canadian, the fact that it took until the 90s to close the last residential school gives me little faith that the US will make tangible moves to end slavery in this century.

I really don't get how it is not political suicide to support slavary.

It is, but not in America, Home of the fee, land of the slaves.

That would require a functional government and active electorate.
