When you take into account Natasha Yar’s childhood where she grew up in poverty having to hide from rape gangs then is it even really post-scarcity?
Or is it just post-scarcity for Starfleet and certain parts of the Federation?
Turkana IV (Natasha Yar’s planet) started off as a federation colony after all. And became a dystopia even while still a member of it. So if the Federation is considered a post-scarcity society then why didn’t Turkana IV benefit from that?
Inside the federation it’s very very close to post scarcity but it’s not quite perfect. Outside the federation like we see in the delta quadrant it’s 100% not and a overall story line for like 4 seasons was them getting chased around with everyone trying to steal replicator technology.
