If Gene didn't start spinning in his grave after "In The Pale Moonlight", I think we're good here.
So what did they dump on? That there is money? That train left the station in TOS, TNG, DS9...
roddenberry's vision
was purely below the belt-line. Gene was a leg man.
I'm not here to change the views of fanatics or professional promoters. Just pointing out the obvious so you have no excuse when this show becomes another footnote of failure in the history of television.
In a previous episode they didn't even respect the fact that officers of the Starfleet itself couldn't possibly have income gaps and they had a main character personally attack Picard for being "too rich".
I have Bingo! What do I win?

If anyone here is getting paid to promote the show here, how do I get in on that?
So you think the lowliest Ensign has the same access to those bitchin' ocean view apartments like Admiral Kirk has in The Wrath of Khan and The Search for Spock?
Face it, Star Trek's handle on money never made a damn bit of sense. It was created by someone with no grasp of economics.
Nope.
I'm pretty sure Kirk lied about there not being money in the future so Catherine Hicks would buy him pizza.
I need to convince my wife I'm from the future next time we go to Mellow Mushroom. Thank you.
All Picard states is that they have eliminated the need for material possessions. People have their basic needs meet and freedom to pursue things as they desire. Joseph Sisko's café, latinum, Beverly's fabric, are all things that demonstrate that there are unique items within the Federation economy.
I can't blame him. Pizza is Pizza
I'm neither a fanatic nor promoter, just pointing out that you seem to either have never seen Star Trek, or not paid attention to it when you did.
classy.
this, however, is a discussion board. if you want to discuss something, we're here to discuss it.
Personally, I'm not here for terrible youtube links or vague, unelaborated BS dumps
The Federation itself certainly could have gone $$$-less as a rule, but the rest of the galaxy is another story.
I doubt they would take currency with Surak's face on it.
What about those Canadian $5 bills people were drawing Spock's face on?
Have you seen what people draw on money these days? Or read the story about someone thinking a $2 bill being a fake?I doubt they would take currency with Surak's face on it.
