He handed me a joystick and said we were going to play some kind of flight simulator game. My memory gets fuzzy after that. The man knows how to party.

I like understanding how commands layer on top of each other.

All three have iproute2 as a dependency, which makes me think the answer is 'yes'.

Unhoused people who were living on the streets, but were being treated in medical facilities in the days leading up to their deaths may not have been captured

They talk about how ashamed and stigmatized they feel – they know the public thinks they’re bad because they’re outside. And they just feel incredibly alone in the world.

Wendell Stephens, an 81-year-old [..], said loneliness was one of the hardest parts [...]

I’ve got nobody to talk to. When your life is normal, you take for granted that you have friends and people, and then all of a sudden it’s all gone.

Here it is: Walk Free's Global Slavery Index

What is modern slavery?

Modern slavery takes many forms and is known by many names. Essentially, it refers to situations of exploitation that a person cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, or deception.

Modern slavery includes forced labour, forced or servile marriage, debt bondage, forced commercial sexual exploitation, human trafficking, slavery-like practices, and the sale and exploitation of children. In all its forms, it is the removal of a person’s freedom — their freedom to accept or refuse a job, their freedom to leave one employer for another, or their freedom to decide if, when, and whom to marry — in order to exploit them for personal or financial gain.

So, slavery includes being coerced into a job in which you are exploited for financial gain....?

So where did their data come from?

I spent an hour studying their methodology in hopes of finding the raw data for the DPRK, but I couldn't glean much except that it was not among the surveyed countries.

I emailed info@walkfree.org asking about an hour ago and got the automated reply quoted below. I'll see if anyone gets back to me.

Thank you for your enquiry. Please be advised that your correspondence has been received and will be distributed to a Walk Free representative for follow up where required.

To their credit, they did remove several instances of North Korea from the Department of Labor's "list of products at risk of modern slavery by source country" because they "could not find recent evidence to verify the occurrence of forced labour".

However, they added to the list solar panels from China, because of the "well-known" exploitation occurring there. It then cites an article on the Uyghurs. lol
