Got it. TBF, most of what comes out of Pella's mouth I interpret as sarcastic quips. She's the SNW version of Jett Reno, after all.
Not that she's wrong, it's just not exactly a franchise-wide decree of mission statement passed down from Alex Kurtzman or the Roddenberry estate...
The same episode says private ownership of things like cars no longer exists in the future, so it's clearly a description of the economy. I agree its almost a dismissal though, which is why I prefer The Orville's treatment of the no money post scarcity economy more.
Yeah, but claiming that money is a thing of the show's past is as old as ~~the show itself.~~ The voyage home:
Almost 30 years ago we got this great bit between Picard and Lily in First contact:
This, of course, from a man with inherited real estate in La Barre... But there are several anticapitalist barbs in TNG and DS9, too.
[Edited first to add GIF, second because I got my wires crossed re private property and money]
None of those quotes say private ownership of cars is gone. Cars aren't the means of production btw, so I don't even agree with SNW here.
You're right, I wrote one thing but my head was still at the general economy matter! Will edit.
