Caydens skunked tankard, We are NOT enslaving souls to free bodies!

"This is EXACTLY what I'm getting at! Slavery persists because slaveowners don't care about the rights and dignity of others! Because they care about money!"

The man sets the cage on the lap, monkey skeleton still motionless. He points skyward.

"But slaves require expenditures- housing, food, water, hopefully clothing and medicine! Skeletons don't have that problem- they'll keep working until they break down, won't cost you any upkeep, and are virtually incapable of disobedience! If they don't care if slavery is evil... maybe they'll care if it's not cost-effective?"
