Grits and Shins Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Star Trek fans ... in a society where people are not paid why would I work? Why would I open and operate a place of business? How are good precured? Why would I be an ensign on a star ship and take orders for a chain of command when I am not paid to do so? What motivates people in this kind of society to do menial labor?

Mark5 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Because Capt. James T. Kirk TOLD YOU SO...... But I did notice he moonlights as a travel agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWmaker Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'm under the impression that the crew is paid. I do know there is a monetary system. In The Trouble with Tribbles episode, tribbles cost x number of "credits" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 They could throw all the "credits"at me they want... but I would never, ever, wear a red shirt on a star ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In The Trouble with Tribbles episode, tribbles cost x number of "credits" +1 I believe the Captain Kirk says he paid good money for some of his trinkets in his cabin, as well.

TimC Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I've been asked and answered this before. LIsten, I don't get involved with the economics of it, I just sleep with the green wimmin. Okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polksalet Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Society's goal is self-improvement, not profit. I think RIker said that around season 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchess Jack Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I listen to the captain to get my credits I use the credits to fund my hallodeck addiction My hallodeck addiction keeps me from getting anywhere higher then ensign.. or at least that would be my story if I had one of those...
