Today's thread will be on SLOTH: how #TransnationalOrganizedCrime STEALS others' LABOR (AND THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS)
Sloth: "reluctance to work or make an effort; laziness."
One way the mob makes money is by exploiting other humans-forcing them to work for little or no pay, sometimes enslaving them completely.
I consider LABOR THEFT to be SLOTH because
if the MOB wants this work done so very badly, they should DO IT THEMSELVES, not exploit other humans.
Labor trafficking and the Global Rape Trade are of course different in many ways, but both are forms of Human Trafficking.
