"No, it wasn't uncommon to know someone who'd just lost something that was easily replaceable, easily reparable, and watching them slowly accept their new, more laborious and miserable existence."
"But it wasn't because the injuries were irrecoverable, it was simply because their supervisor didn't quite value a worker's life enough to give them a chance. It was because cutting off their rations and replacing them was cheaper in some bureaucrat's logbook than convincing a doctor to fly over to a hole in the ground on a barely colonized planet. That is the senseless cruelty I despise."
