you might want to look up "colonization", the British, Spanish, Portuguese, etc colonized much of Africa, drained it of resources, then that same wealth made its way to the US which was also a British colony after they killed and stole the land from the natives. Colonizers who then min maxed it by going all in on slavery, then when the motherland was asking for too much in taxes from their profits they broke away. The US was built with blood and money.
'Cause free labor's the cornerstone of US economics, 'cause slavery was abolished. Unless you are in prison. You think I am bullshittin then read the 13th Amendment. Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits, that's why they givin' drug offenders time in double digits.
