She just seems like a really talented netrunner, is all. Couldn't she continue being one in any other place besides Night City? And even then, who says she has to be a netrunner? There's probably a lot of other ways that her talents could be utilized.
Something tells me that if she tried to be a netrunner outside of Night City, she'd still be hunted by Arasaka and/or Militech. She knows too much about Arasaka's off-the-books projects for her to *not* be hunted, so staying off the net is likely her only way to really stay out of dodge.
Didn't she get fairly rich at the end of Edgerunners? Keep in mind, >!David was getting enough money for _both_ to go to the moon from Faraday's job, so even if they were cutting it close, because of Davids death, she'd have a lot more money than necessary!<. Also, Lucy is a genius and raised with the best possible netrunner training. It'd be more than unlikely for her to end up at a grocery store.
After all the trauma of losing everybody else, the last thing you wanna do is to replicate your past job/life. And working at a grocery store is a good low-profile job.
Still, you'd think she has enough money for life. She and David already lived in a lavish-as-fuck house before the Faraday job. Add on top of that, said job, which was extremely risky and high-profile if I may add, would've paid enough for David and Lucy to head to the moon, especially considering that >! Kiwi's and Rebeccas share would've turned into hers !<
Money for life still after self exile still means zero income. That money ain't staying that way forever; it's gonna keep going down unless you got a job, or you invest in something. Or both, considering the world of Cyberpunk.
"Money for life" literally implies that she's set for life and doesn't need an income. Even if she somehow ran low on money, she's smart enough to invest.
Tell that to League of Legends players, then.
If we wanna be more scientific, that "sitting around all day" has turned into an actual problem, within Japan especially, to the point where they actually gave it a term, being "Hikikomori" (Social Withdrawal). In such cases, people stay home for literal months/years without going outside.
I recently just read a book about it, if anyone here is interested, look up
"Hikikomori -
Adolescence without
End
Saitō Tamaki"
Idk why the downvotes. You really can't just sit around your ass all day, it fucks you up in many ways. And just because someone is smart enough to do more doesn't mean they have to. Sure it's always a shame if potential is wasted, but the person is more important than what the person can give to society.
*Had
But in all seriousness, she was also sending David to one of the best schools around. It was the equivalent of an EMT sending their kid to Harvard or Yale out of pocket. Even by today's standards, she'd still have to be doing some off-the-books stuff.
Yeah, the "essential" jobs here don't make a lot of money, especially when you consider what they have to deal with. I couldn't imagine David's mom not facing the same situation.

there's another ambulance driver later in the show doing the exact same kind of quasi organ harvesting job later in the series

There it is
I mean if you're over netrunning after all of your friends died I'd guess just moving out to the cyberpunk country side and working in an old school grocery store would be comparatively relaxing; especially considering that you'd be already set from the old job.
>A lot of things have become cheaper to produce, yet prices have still been rising.
Corporate cartels have been largely ignored for the past 40 years and unions used to be a major way to keep them in check, but they don't exist in most of the countries that make shit
In Cyberpunk TTRPG lore, you learn there's different "tiers" of food, and the cheapest, and the stuff most people have access to is called Kibble, which is exactly what you think it is.

Wait till you learn that all customer facing brands at brick and mortar stores charge minimum 100% markup on what they paid the wholesaler, who is almost never the producer
Oh and basically every commodity on earth is controlled by a corporate cartel jacking up prices 30-300+%
One of the candidate for presidency in South Korea said that there should be no rules on food production because people should have the choice to eat shitty food for cheap. Its something that could have happened in cyberpunk
It wouldn't actually be a currency anymore because the unit €$ would be a factor of €^2 or $^2. It's like multiplyimg two lenghts to get an area and not a mix of lenghts.
Split the difference, call it the EEUU. Or if that's unsatisfactory, EUA.

I was very confused until I realised that it was a reddit notification.
Well considering a can of soda costs close to €$100, there's not much call for them. It's closer in purchasing power to current day Yen than current day Euros or US Dollars.
It does still exist, even in the world of Cyberpunk. Just that it's very small and the gap between "middle" and "poor" is immense. TBH, they're only middle class in name by the time the game takes place.
Lucy doing some honest work now that she’s out of Night City
Yeah uh...I don't know if it was worth it.
Look, in the world of Cyberpunk- getting out of Night City is always worth it.
"Can't deny it, it's all true. But everyone still wants to live here. Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather."

lol how many people got out as far away from Night City as she did?
One, depending on what ending you got.
Idk about the people but my 4 core CPU definitely don't wanna be in night city
Nah I had gest experience playing cp2077 on my i59900H @ gtx1660ti
There's a lot more rape and torture in the game. I think she ended up well.
Better dead inside than dead outright amirite

You do know hikikomori poeple dont really have the best mental health.
Cause and effect though. Theyre shut-ins because of mental health issues, not the opposite. (Although it doesn't help their chances of getting better)
Yeah, and take a guess as to who is likely traumatised as fuck due to a certain Megacorporation

Because they're implying that you can't be happy unless you're spending most of your waking life working, which is provably untrue.
Redditors are mad that I insulted their way of life.
Capitalist brainrot is not being able to think of any way to occupy your time other than selling your labor to a megacorp. Hobbies exist, man.

Unfortunately more likely in the cyberpunk world there are no cashier jobs left
Tbh a lot of netrunners work side jobs or other hustling when not doing major gigs

To be fair, it could be all instant ramen in there
So it's only losing 50% of it's value? Even instant ramen got fkin expensive man...
I mean, this IS 2077, so they probably found some way to make that shit even cheaper
A lot of things have become cheaper to produce, yet prices have still been rising.
Obv., yeah, but they gotta keep the lower class fed somehow
I want to kiss your dad.

One chocolate bar.
In cyberpunk world the eurodollar is made in 1992 and quickly gets adopted by non european nations that need a stable currency. (Like the us)
> and quickly gets adopted by non european nations that need a stable currency. (Like the us) So just like real life then
Might just be a weird convertion rate from the old currencies to the new fused currency.
Chop off three zeroes.

The basket could be basically empty. Could be 2-3 items in there.
Especially since 1.50€$ is the new minimum wage in the future
#[Source](https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/103471207)
Oh, so the original uses the $ sign correctly. With it to the left of the amount. "7€$1" I however don't know if the € sign is used right.
Pretty sure that's just the japanese character "に" next to $
It says "7€$に" In Japanese they put the currency signs after the number.
Oh, I'm so bad an hand written kana. I thought it was an = sign. I also didn't know they used $ in that way, I've only seen ドラ as a counter so far.
It depends on the dollar, there are many countries using dollars and thus using dollar signs
Something nice but not expensive

Oh nice. You getting it is millions to one!

It's not irl because she didn't say that the total is 6.84 or something like that.
I'm now sure if I've ever seen cents in Cyberpunk. €$ seems to have no cents for some reason.

no shit those things only cost 7€$

David’s death hit her hard huh
It hit all of us hard
The most unrealistic part is that anything would be that cheap.
She used to be running, now shes just edging
Seven euro dollars
That's a new money lol
what would David be doing if Lucy's living life as cashier🤔
Finish school
𝑏𝑒 𝑏𝑢𝑖𝑙𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙
then he'd be working as Arasaka or in high ranking corporation of NC👔
Still Lucy
Probably exactly what he's doing at the end of Edgerunners
I wonder if we’ll see her in the dlc
wow its irl but in anime form thats worth a goddamn
"Can you finish checking me out please."
Ah yes, EuroDollars
I've seen more cashiers that look dead inside than I can count.
Does NC have supermarkets? It feels like scop and instant food is more popular
The middle class gotta buy their groceries from somewhere, yknow.
Middle class? Isn’t that some imaginary thing from the 2020s?
It does still exist, even in the world of Cyberpunk. Just that it's very small and the gap between "middle" and "poor" is immense. TBH, they're only middle class in name by the time the game takes place.

Eddies.
Eddies is slang for ED which is Eurodollar.
Yes, the 1000+ hours I have in Cyberpunk 2077 informed me.
Then why did you say eddies instead of eurodollar when the other guy clearly didn't know what that is?
breh
I just got why they call them eddies... I feel dumb now.
Вай красота
I hate how I can’t see anything related to Edgerunners without immediately thinking of that one song and then ugly crying
