@Arantor Sounds like the no-money -concept only extends to the general population individuals. Corporations and governments still use money. Or some kind of goods distribution tokens/allocation anyway.
-
@acrow there’s definitely something like that - the Federation certainly extends some line of finance to the traders on DS9 because the traders there deal in actual money, and all those drinks Bashir and O’Brien consume at Quark’s aren’t free.
I think that it’s one of those things that long since got taken out of context from both when Kirk said it in IV (that “we don’t use money” or words to that effect) and Picard in First Contact notes that “the economics of the 24th Century are somewhat different” - he even notes that while “money doesn’t exist”, he goes on to note that “the acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives” which suggests that it is still a consideration, but not the primary one.

@dcon Most likely because it appears they are not in the same movie, but that's just me not knowing anything about any of the displayed characters.

One way or another.

@boomzilla Fortunately, there is a gluten free knockoff of Thin Mints® that isn't a perfect match for the texture but is quite acceptable. Unfortunately, they have too much sugar, so I can't eat them, either.
