> because this allows the slave to be less financially dependent on the master

Just a little back of the envelope economics: if everyone thinks the way you do -> labor supply doubles -> wages go down -> working two jobs is now the expectation

Similar economic side effects to having both genders in the workforce. This lifestyle only "works out" so long as most people are unwilling to do what you're doing


> working two jobs is now the expectation

Short of some radical changes around the whole concept of "property", I think this may end up being the norm anyway considering property price inflation?

After all, people need a place to live, so if there's more value to extract, why wouldn't the landlords (and all the industries supporting them) cash in on that?
