A Thought to Ruin Your Day

My brain simply won’t let me believe that there are as many as 2,000 slaves in Nebraska. Presumably the UNL professors who came up with that figure know what they’re talking about. But ... wow. Let’s say they’re aiming high for shock value. Even if they’re off by a factor of two, that’s still 1,000 people. Heck, even if they’re off by a factor of 20 that’s still 100 people living in slavery in Nebraska today. Yikes.
