It's surprising that sophisticated ST fans didn't get that she was speaking allegorically. Chateau Picard was a refuge and a place of safety and she had no such place. It's was basically to guilt trip Picard and remind him that he emotionally abandoned her when she needed him.

Admiral Quinn's CoS was Lt Cmdr Remmick. Not a captain nor a commodore.
I doubt in a moneyless society that Raffi would be forced to live in what looks like a Federation refugee shack. She could have said she wants to own and live on her own estate, unless there are socialist limitations on those like Raffi who refuse to work and choose to spend their time heavily drinking and abusing drugs.
They imply that Admiral Picard was the only thing protecting her Starfleet Commission as she was terminated right after they humbled Picard. It was crappy that Picard ignored her for 14 years, but he was also emotionally destroyed to the point they called him a hermit at Starfleet.
He could have brought her to the estate and allowed her to live there as another hand to work the grapes, feed him, and protect him. He shamefully did not do that. He owes her a lot.
A couple were. And they were seen as outliers. The rest were all about "Just following orders".
i've not seen that - how many stars?
Back in S1, "Coming of Age". No stars on Admirals back then. A few episodes later, there would be one or two pips added to that pipless collar, suggesting Quinn was of the very lowest flag rank.
But Remmick was Quinn's somewhat shady aide. Probably the exact same thing that Musiker was to Picard - somebody from the intel community, or officially "with the Inspector General's office". Not an explicit chief of staff or aide-de-camp or anything like that.
Admirals employed as "military commissioners" or "get-it-done men" probably need a "get-it-done aide" who isn't nailed down in a rigid organizational structure but can serve the big project in a variety of backstage roles. Quinn and Picard might have had glorified secretaries who didn't meet the behind-the-curtains need and thus weren't seen in the respective adventures.

Could she? Please give an example from Star Trek.
I think Remmick had two solid pips and one with a black dot, so the same rank insignia of Data.
the admiral
oops, i put quinn into memory alpha and got and admiral from a short trek - i have seen the otherone but i'm not that good with names (the reason i looked him up in the first place)

Of course, owning Vazquez Rocks might just be evidence that everyone gets what they want.
The EMH had an English accent, not British (which would encompass Northern Ireland). English and British do not mean the same thing.
Since Cabrera's wife is German, it would probably be a bit better than his Irish accent!i hope his elh (emergency logistics hologram) gets a german accent
Everyone gets what they want in the Federation’s perfect socialist society because of near unlimited recourses, right? It’s supposed to be a perfect utopia to the point even Sisko says so.
What right would anyone have to deny her request for a free estate? She already gets free food, water, clothing, shelter, drugs, basic housing. She is enjoying the ultimate universal basic income, Federation style.
If she wants more, what does she have to do in such a government set up this way?
That sounds more like projection. How about an example from Star Trek?
remmick was no chief of staff he was from the ig's office - memory alpha has quinn as a lower half rear admiral
Do they? How exactly does one "replicate" an infinite amount of estates? Land is a limited resource.
See above.
Be part of family who owns land.
I'm curious why Romulan former Borg have a more difficult time recovering from assimilation, it must be related to the reason Romulans hate AI so much.
That's NOT going to happen.
The E has been done to Death.
And it looks like Picard's new canine Number One won't be going with him on his latest space adventure. This is a shame, because I was hoping for a scene where, confronted with an enemy Romulan or something, Picard points and shouts, "Number One, engage!" and the formerly laid-back puppy goes for the throat.
Stewart brought the dog in to improve the breed's image.
Not if you have the ability to Terraform planets and cheap reliable FTL. Even today we know that Earth-like planet are common.
I do not
Geordie wasn't a perfect physical specimen of humanity where it came to his eyes and optical nerves. Isn't it possible that some Vulcans aren't perfect specimens of their species? And yes, when it was required, characters in Star Trek have worn eye protection.

Honestly, just about every time someone says "That's never happened in Star Trek" I can find a half dozen times it has.
I am still waiting for people to use the toilets in Star Trek or to have their existence acknowledged
