Property rights and commerce in Trek, some musings

Have you seen how "Posh" his personal StarShip is?
It's SWANKY as heck.
Literally a flying bachelor pad.
Not human, and post-Utopian.
Book has a J.O.B. or he did, until he found a Sugar-Momma.
I doubt he's mooching off of Michael Burnham after the final episode.
I'm sure there's some job the UFP can make good use out of a man with his certain set of skills.
A post scarcity UFP would give Book an entire planet to raise and herd cats.

Not a radioactive wasteland, just a wasteland.
Book look at what we really got, they have a nice "Cabin in the Woods" that they live in.
As the last of his species, Book, if he wanted to be that guy, has certain political and property rights to abuse, as he equates to an emperor, after a fashion... Are we sure that was not a Kwejian Embassy?
Seems awfully normal to be a "Embassy".
Looks more like their personal home between him & his wife than a functional embassy.
She still owes the Federation 20 years hard labour.
It could be a white collar detention facility?
It could be a white collar detention facility?
That was forgiven, she's returned to StarFleet.
How many people died, and how many ships were lost at the battle of the binary stars?
Forgiven, forshmiven.
When she is old, and of no further use, Section 31 is going to put a plastic bag over her face while she is sleeping.
Okies...
Sarek presented a physical document signed by the UFP President during the season one finale.
Seems legit.
Carry on.

While I can't comprehend how such a system would work, I'm reminded of the Shatnerverse books where Kirk (back when the belief was money on earth ended between TOS and TNG, VOY would retcon it back to just after ENT) wonders why he can't just wander up to San Francisco fleet yard and claim a ship for himself, or just claim any old nicer apartment as his. Spock or McCoy would be about to explain then get interrupted.
