Small problem: they've "abolished money". (!) I heard Picard state this explicitly himself, either in an episode or in one of the films. It's in the episode where they unfreeze those 3 people from roughly our time: the housewife, the businessman, and the musician.

Ah, the cryogenic people... and one had cancer, one was an alcoholic, etc. Yup I think I remember that one. Pretty early one if I recall correctly.

That's the problem with trying to casually insert something PC into science fiction. Obviously, they didn't think through the ramifications. They just wanted to put a Good Anti-Greed Message into the episode. It's stuff like that which makes me sympathize with people who hate Star Trek and don't consider it serious sci-fi....
