Vegoon, to memes in Enjoy it while it lasts.

Don’t just wait passively for it, take action. Everyone can contribute and together we will achieve big things. If we all work together the collapse is not just a dream.

Lt_Cdr_Data,

Dont use plastic straws, drive public transport or bike, buy bio food, donate to orgs, glue yourself to the street

and maybe… just maybe… you will change fuck all

MuffinX,

Plastic straws have almost zero to none impact on climate change. It is one of the biggest virtue signaling campaings that managed to scam shit ton of gullible people. Climate change is a never ending process, those who can alter the process have way bigger means to affect it than you and me. Regulate the companies, end the “too big to fail” market monopoly, tax the shit out of billioners. Dont fall to their diversion strategy that we are to blame for any of this shit.

DragonTypeWyvern,

It wasn’t about climate change, it was about plastic waste giving turtles straws up their nostrils.

Not the federation latnium is used by non federation worlds and occasionally by fed when dealing with non fed people but nobody in the fed uses it

Blamemeta,

Im not sure they ever explicitly said it, or at least not in the Roddenberry era.

Kirk says money doesn’t exist in the voyage home

While money may not exist on Earth or the core worlds (or the entire federation) per se, there still are Federation credits for use on non-federation worlds, space stations near independent powers, and for commerce with other independent nations (like the negotiations for the Barzan Wormhole). So maybe like on Ferenginar (if it can convert into Latinum) Qo’noS (if they have money), Romulus, or any other economy. So while he may not of used money (as he only bought from Federation worlds), there still is money. It also can be used for worlds which have not made the transition to a post-scarcity/money environment. And to add to that, the Bank of Bolarus implies that some money is used by the federation. So while you are right in that citizens of the federation probably get stuff for free, that doesn’t mean money doesn’t necessarily exist (which you did point out.)

J. J. Abrams: Why are you booing me? I'm right.

Anticorp,

Picard series too. Spock’s reaction is about how I felt during most of the series.
