Where do you believe slavery still exists in the US? Can you give an example of humans being owned by an individual or company and forced to work for no wages in 2024?

Sure: in prisons that are disproportionately filled with minorities, as is explicitly allowed in the amendment.

I can see that, prisons are a good example.

Chattel slavery ended, which is where people literally owned other people as their deeded property. There are other forms of slavery though, like the other commenter mentioned with involuntary labor in prisons. Wage slavery is also a thing.
