Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Oh sure, I get that
But Star Trek doesn't make sense at all.

Here's the wonderful post-scarcity Federation! No-one has or needs money!

Except the Ferengi and everyone else, of course.

The interface between those who have unlimited resources (after all, that's what "post-scarcity" means) and those who don't is just handwaved away.

In reality, such an interaction would result in total war.
New You didn't think the Prime Directive was about philosophy, did you?
