'Paid'. When some egyptaboo tells you that "there weren't slaves in Egypt at this time", remember the 'workers' were paid in housing, bread, and beer. And were kinda bound by their duty to the God-Pharaoh. Totally not slavery!

Tho now thinking of it it's not like my wage stretches farther than that either...

Edit: spelling and punctuation are hard.

That's more than many people will get today from a single job. ๐Ÿ’€
