    I saw a recent video about the debt slaves in Pakistan, the families making those bricks literally do nothing but make bricks all day every day. They sleep In a hut 10 meters away from where the work, wake up, and make clay bricks by hand all day until the sun goes down. They take short breaks to eat and they stop to sleep but other than that it’s just bricks all day every day. Whole families do it, husband, wife, grandmother, grandfather, kids (no school, just bricks). They work until their debt is paid off but the owners of their debt is purposely obscure about how much they owe and just keeps them working as long as they can. It’s really sad.
