in many ways Wall Street types are Capital's greatest slaves.

They're really, really not.

Taking specific job-related actions, which are not particularly demanding and are firmly within the confines of the job you are hired to do, which pays you very well and transfers lots of the spoils of empire to you, and which you can comfortably quit at any time with no adverse consequence, does not make you a slave.

There are still tens of millions of actual slaves around the globe, people who are trafficked, blackmailed, restricted, or otherwise coerced into labor that they will never be paid comfortably for.

Let's not dilute the depravity of capitalism with something that may seem vaguely affectively equivalent for a couple hours a day.
