They need to be sure to show the license plates on the vehicles! None of these videos do, which squanders an opportunity for a smidgen of accountability. If they are bounty hunters, they may own the veicles.

They already have slavery reinstalled in the form of student loans that never end and more generally in credit card debt. Just wait until they tighten bankruptcy laws and reestablish the poor house concept, then theyʻll have labor for the farms.
