Well the point of that tummy tuck you got was so you wouldn ' t have a belly hanging everywhere , right ? <| sep |> Problem here is that the damages and the penalties are significantly less that what they would have paid in wages . Meaning , they might still come out on top . <| sep |> I had joined a gym with a goal to lose weight so I stuck to the cardio and maybe a few machines idiot , I know . My husband joined later and started getting into Stronglifts . It looked hella fun to me so I started copying him . I LOVED the weight lifting and started educating myself on programs and food . Much better results . <| sep |> Well , if I were to make some presumptions base on what looks likely with the information we have at the moment , Edit Mixed up an item leading to part being irrelevant . Irrelevant portions given a vasectomy . SNIP SNIPThe Phoenix is , once things like fuel costs become much more apparent and insurance costs become a more pressing concern , probably going to be less expensive to flyinsure than an 890 J possibly by a large margin . But , if you want luxury , and you want it in your ships , and you ' re willing to afford related expenses , I ' d say you have a right to make that choice . What exactly do you want to do in the verse ? Maybe it ' s your style to have luxuries wherever you go ! Plenty of escape pods for the full crew , with upgraded life support and beacons ! German beer every Friday in the galley ! Extra costs ? Oh , only the best for my band of merry c a r g o r u n n e r s m e r c e n a r i e sorganharvestersexplorers ! . and , incidentally , big flashy expenses indicate that you ' re going to be a man of means which will mean people will treat you differently inuniverse . For example , suppose you came across two org recruitments . One says We have an 890 J ! and the other says we are a small family org based around a few auroras . you know which one 99 % of people are going to read first . the 890 J one . People judge books by their cover and by first impression because it takes too much time to read all the books to not make assumptions and projections regularly . TLDR There is value in social capital that comes from luxury . Maybe you have a much easier time holding business meetings on your 890 J Yacht and many more people accept your invitations to an 890 J than to a cutlass for meetings . Maybe people cut corners mentally because they want some $$$ and they think sucking up to you will help them . I ' d say if you ' re for example looking to start an org , we have an 890 J ! Only the best for our boys ! is a far stronger selling point than we ' re saving up for a couple aurora CCU ' s . people are fickle and will judge you by first impressions . It ' s just a fact of humans . Hope this was helpful in solving your dilemma 3 Mwah ~ Doctor Jaded 6 ak 4 lj . png
