what if the military starfleet folks going “we have eliminated poverty and racism and inequality on earth! Utopia™!” are just the 23rd(4th) century equivalent of 21st century humans who say we live in a post-racial society
is there fanfic of this i can’t write
but no really whenever some starfleet personnel goes, “the acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives” i’m like “that sounds like something someone with money would say”
maybe money doesn’t exist as it does now but they still have some form of credit system especially since the rest of the quadrant seems to have currency like how can this economy be sustained what about the colonies on terraformed moons and planets or whatever it’s not like they have natural resources so they have to receive aid in the form of imported goods like
