We had those. They were called company towns, and you didn't get paid in real money; you got paid in company scrip that only worked in the company store. Anyone who voluntarily gets on board with this clearly needs to read a history book; that part of our history isn't even 100 years old yet.
Or at least watch a good relevant movie, like Matewan.
I'm still surprised that movie was even allowed to be made and released in the United States, TBH.
