With some exceptions, we all have a choice in the first-world. Chains can be external and internal. In your example, the chains are mostly internal even if there is some degree of external chains. If you’re living in SF and are a game developer, chances are you aren’t doing terribly.
As for exploited and poor third-world countries or those who lack citizenship in first-world countries (i.e. undocumented immigrants), I’m inclined to say that is modern slavery. It sometimes literally is slavery, even child slavery.
Here in the first-world, we presently benefit from child slavery and third-world exploitation in the products we consume. It’s not uncommon either.
I believe people have to choose differently if they want different. Be the change you seek, that whole jazz.
Well, we agree.
As for myself? I chose to not be a slave and I’m sticking with that.
I also get to choose, but I am privileged to be able to choose.
