Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

While I agree with what this is saying, I’m not sure Seth MacFarlane is who the “Rich” is in this story.

Productive rich people like creatives are not the problem unless they do problematic things. Billionaires are always a problem and are exploitative by their very nature.

Yep. You can get rich by being productive and lucky. You can't become a billionaire without exploitation.

Same. I wish we had the infrastructure and protections to not need them to though.
