First: I think a meme should always be a meme Spoiler: Le meme Defenetly. Since you have to work and pay for every breath of air you are in dept the moment you set foot on the ship. And I highly doubt that anyone will let you leave before paying. This is btw one of my favorite short stories that describe how nomads work. To be fair it´s not that much about the individual human beeing (worker) itself like already mentioned. It´s about the workforce. That is, what is valuable.and if someone treats the material badly (in this case: the workers) he has to be punished, best by an example so everyone else sees what is happening. You will treat library books way more carefully if the librarian chops of fingers from people bringing back messed up books.
