They should just rename it the Trump Loyalist Party and get it over with. I mean they’re already there, might as well stick the orange idiot’s bands on it.
Get back to us in 6 months and we’ll see how it’s going. I have low expectations. Somehow capitalism always finds a way to propagate itself, no matter how little sense it makes.
I came here to say this. I get that they use fucking plasma in their electrical systems, but you’d think some step-down transformers and circuit breakers could be installed. And why the hell do the defense systems feed back into the main power grid? Why isn’t there a capacitor bank to dump feedback into for reuse in the weapons or something?
Lawmakers introduced a $1.2 trillion spending package Thursday that sets the stage for avoiding a partial government shutdown for several key federal agencies this weekend and allows Congress, nearly six months into the budget year, to complete its work funding the government through September....

That one episode where her empathic abilities stopped working prove your point. She was useless at her job without them. She could likely have adapted, sure, but over the course of years and with therapy designed to help her adjust. She was literally disabled and all the humans were like, “What’s the problem? We live like this all the time.”
Imagine if your sense of equilibrium just vanished one day and you were a professional athlete. That’s a career ending disability right there. I feel like that episode would be written very differently if it was made now.
To be fair, his life didn’t really smooth out until he moved to DS9. On the Enterprise he was just another smart guy. On DS9 he was the tech savant that couldn’t take a vacation because the day after he left everything broke.
When humanity starts actually colonizing space (in Artifical habitats most likely) techno- primitivism in a wide array of variations is highly likely.
One of Trek’s biggest problems has always been the lack of scale. Developed star systems like Sol should have a population in the trillions, largely in Artifical space habitats that can be custom tailored to stimulate any environment imaginable.
The offensive part is that there aren’t hundreds or thousands such communities spread out all over the place, mimicking or inventing a bazillion variations of every imaginable culture.
