It's more ridiculous than doing business, they aren't supposed to do things like tie shoes, open doors and cook. That's the whole point to the shabbos goy.
It all harkens back to when they were money-lenders in Babylon and had an army of debt slaves to do their bidding. They're the civilizational equivalent of the guy who peaked in high school and is forever trying to relive his glory days.
They didn't/don't peak in high school. They peak in middle school.
The debt slave is really disgusting and disturbing to me because that's what's been happening in the last 100 years...and no one is batting an eye at it. They just shrug it off as though that is the way it has always been, not realizing their great grandparents, or great great grandparents, didn't live like this.
