Cost effective still means it worked and if it means that it "Got the job done" than slavery has just been economically justified.

Firing seventy-eight high-density clusters of naked virgins held together with tape and saliva, weighing approximately nine billion tons each, directly at Moscow would also stop Moscow from being a thing. Not economically justified, simply because it got the job done.

If minimum wage was not employed, free labor would STILL be more cost effective than slavery in menial work.


Not really. Market factors would prove at the end of the day. It depends how much the slave cost and the upkeep of the slave vs. the wage of free labor.

And a nuke would also work. Also lots of bombs. Both get the job done and make a profit. Both are valid.

You need to reread what was posted. "Not cost effective" and "inefficient" aren't the same thing, so presenting an argument as to why something was cost effective enough to survive doesn't mean that it's the best economic choice.
