    How did the Picard family have an enormous house, and hundreds of acres of land in a socialist society?

      You’d be better off asking Gene Roddenberry that. But TNG made it look awesome.

      It bugged me the Raffi was depicted living in a trailer in the middle of nowhere in Picard, like she had been impoverished by getting kicked out of Starfleet, and complains about Picard having a nicer place. That’s not how shit is supposed to work in that world.

      Postscarcity would mean that everyone could live in fancy vineyard if they wanted, and Picard just happens to have one with a personal history.

          So, TBH I don’t get the hate. There’s goofy bits in every series. I enjoyed it overall.
