Financially, but not organisationally. You don't have to convince universal access that you deserve standard treatments.
dreed:
Do we know how much a whole body costs?
I thought min 20k for basic model. Based on how much the robo hand cost to repair.
Sven definetely could afford it to pay it full up front but I think may would hate that.
shanejayell:
Ouch.
One wonders if putting ex-cons in shitty bodies is also a strategy to keep them from getting ahead? The constant nickle and dime repairs eat away at her savings and functionally make it impossible to improve her life.
Farideh:
Which would encourage May to return to crime, just to get the money to keep her body going.
Gnabberwocky:
If it's really going to be a full 20k for a new body, May might actually be better off sticking with her old body (in terms of cost and not counting whatever she earns from the proposed donation drive). Because she's friends with Faye and Bubbles, her repairs are usually under 100 dollars each time, meaning it would take over 200 of those repairs to make the costs equal.
On the other hand, it would be massively inconvenient if your leg fell off every day, so I can see why she'd opt to spring for the more expensive option.
