So, buying out an individual’s debt for a year or two of indentured servitude is a thing in the future. However, trusting a justice app, ‘Scaley’ in this case, might not be so wise.
And in the near future, Kanye West has become a 2Pac-style legendary rapper… don’t ask me how that happened, but it did.

so legalised slavery. the future is effed up XD
I think it’s more like legalized indentured servitude.
Not like he’s got anywhere else to work – he got fired apparently soon at he was arrested. He may no longer have anywhere else to live either; no income, no money for rent or mortgage and eviction may be immediate.
This is great… and eerily prescient
Thanks Max! It doesn’t pay to be poor in the VANGUARD universe.
The question is, is this guy actually helping Guy? This probably isn’t the best solution, but I’m betting erotic services is not nearly as fun as it sounds (and it doesn’t sound good to begin with). It’s like, he’s being a dick and signing Guy away to indentured servitude, but then being nice and telling him to avoid the sex slave jobs?
well given the semi protection rack nature we have seen from the “cops” so far, wouldn’t be surprised if those two guys with him are plants just to make sure he does do the “right thing”.
remember it was one of them that insisted he read the messages right now.
I think these guys might appear shadier than they are only because of the limitations of the medium. If I could write a longer scene, which would be 10 pages of people standing around talking to a tablet, Guy would probably ask, “What are my other options?” To which Scaley would respond, “You have 0 other options”. I think these guys have just been in the system a long time and know the ropes. And I can guarantee Scaley would not ask, “Would you like to exclude erotic services?” So, that little inside piece of information was very nice.

That is quite screwed up
I kind of like this. there’s a guy who owes my dad a couple thousand dollars that he can’t get. a couple people have taken the guy to court and they still can’t get their money either
Wonderful… Civil rights have moved backward minimum 150 years.
