Star Trek handwaves away pretty much all questions about its utopian economics. What's the point in Picard's family owning a vineyard in a world with replicators that can make perfectly aged wine for you in seconds?
- hindsightbias 2y agoSo in Star Trek artisinal work/projects would not exist?
- spockz 2y agoI think that almost every episode featuring food from replicators always has someone lamenting that it isn’t the real thing though. So tastes vary. There is tradition. Point enough to have a be vineyard.

- ungamedplayer 2y agoJust replicate more France
