For more context, it was an all black alliance, specifically created because they were black, for the sole purpose of making sure a black person won. They called themselves “the cookout,” because apparently all black people do is BBQ outside. It wasn’t just an alliance that happened to be black, they openly formed it because of race, and purposefully targeted whites.
For even more context, two years ago the winner of the show, a white man, was openly accused of being a racist on live television by the show host Julie Chen, all because he nominated a couple “people of color” in the first episode.
I always imagined that his 'restaurant' is essentially a hobby he happens to get requisitioned a shop, source the food himself from people whom run hobby farms and fisheries and the like in order to deliver as close an 'authentic' experience as possible and those people get first reservations followed by friends, locals and those interested. Novel, but even in that could earth really ever have the sheer logistics to allow billions of people to exist in such a fashion?
Let's be honest, DS9 makes trekkies nervous with it's introspection so any attempt to closely scrutinize absolutely any aspect of the universes workings outside of 'it just works, ok nerd!?' makes cracks start to form.
Indeed but it was made a point that some, particularly older folks prefer grown food to replicated. So who determines who gets farmland on earth, or restaurant space in new Orleans? Is it first come first serve, hereditary or on a space share?
I mean even with seizing the means of production from reality itself there's going to be intangibles that cant be solved with a replicator. These space empires are fighting for territory and resources after all.
Basically you'll always have a time component limiting any kind of post-scarcity, no matter how much energy you have.
Your reservations required idea is good. Otherwise I can't imagine a normal shop functioning if people don't have to come work on a schedule. Like what if he just doesn't want to open the restaurant some day, or for long stretches at a time. Anyone who wanted to visit that day is just out of luck.
There is no hiding that the Federation is a fascist military dictatorship disguising their blatant junta as anything else, changing day to day what the disguise may be.
The only "rich" humans we know in the shows... Are high ranking military officers or their families, and those who deal in Latinum (the post-scarcity-isn't-actually-post-scarcity unobtanium).
It is very likely that land allocation is based on military influence. Not necessarily military rank, but just some value to them in some way. Maybe some old money, but not likely much, unless the old money funded the military takeover of Earth.
As we know from reality, people are, general rule, very dumb and easily satisfied. People will eat the bugs, they will live in the pods, they will sign away their rights and freedoms. Willingly and readily with an easy narrative. "Ownership" likely doesn't have a high premium to the vast majority of the lower castes: they will own nothing, and be happy about it, to quote our modern-era World Economic Forum. So allocations probably won't be too heavily contested.
Also Picard's brother literally had a vineyard [which he visits after being freed from the Borg and in the same episodes they have a discussion about how synthohol makes wine taste different] before it burned down just before the movie Generations and killed Picard's only remaining family. In the TNG finale a possible future showed Picard working it having retired there.
Most problems are solved by pithy morality speeches and hand-wringing. They keep the majority of space lasers for season finales and premieres. There's an occasional action episode, but the vast majority are about friendship, social bonds, honesty, and cooperation between tribes.
when I was younger I hated the introduction of the section 31 that went completely opposite of the theme of previous trek shows. now knowing what I know, deep space 9? more like deep state 9!
Female contestants would consistently vote all the men out of the game. It happened so often it was impossible not to notice it. Eventually, even the host of the show (a woman) would call it out and mock them for resorting to such a strategy.
They do go head to head at the end, and if we make it about that, than that's still a case of women silently, collectively agreeing that they can't beat a man one on one in a quiz show.
Only one race in the history of the world ended slavery.
Based on that fact alone I would expect inciting racial victimhood and fake grievances in blacks to be more dangerous than anything we have historically seen except Rwanda.
You miss spelled the real mastermind behind all this. I think we all know who's really been pulling the strings. Getting whites to hate blacks, men to hate women, and she got biden into office. Big Red.
Pretty sad, non-whites (blacks specifically) can explicitly group and decision make based around their race, but whites can't even accidentally favor people that look like them without being accused of racism. Worst part is realizing just how many people really don't understand what's happening, or don't care!
It gives me a small bit of pleasure that somewhere a lifelong democrat voter has had something they enjoy utterly destroyed and they can't say shit about it.
"It's your fault" is probably what they'd say. "Systematic Racism" was the reason for last year's rioting. The "systematic racism" in democrat cities in democrat states (for decades), that was all the fault of republicans.
This really isn't making history. Minorities trend very hard towards voting for their own race as a primary factor. Only whites consider the policy or implications of their vote outside of skin color.
You're stupid if you believe this wasn't conceived in a writers' meeting.
These shows are scripted carefully to promote narratives.

This is CBS, this is Biden’s America
I'm going for added irony with this one since this character had cooking as a plot centric skillset at times.
I always imagined that his 'restaurant' is essentially a hobby he happens to get requisitioned a shop, source the food himself from people whom run hobby farms and fisheries and the like in order to deliver as close an 'authentic' experience as possible and those people get first reservations followed by friends, locals and those interested.

it's supposed to be a perfect post scarcity society where energy = matter, so anything they want they can just materialize.
Indeed but it was made a point that some, particularly older folks prefer grown food to replicated. So who determines who gets farmland on earth, or restaurant space in new Orleans? Is it first come first serve, hereditary or on a space share?

all of that is handwaved away, humanity somehow changes overnight and people stop being greedy, except when it fits the plot.
I haven't watched in 20+ years but from what I remember it was internally consistent for the most part but I only ever watched next generation.

Yes, but Picard's a stupid show that exists primarily to destroy Star Trek.
Also Picard's brother literally had a vineyard [which he visits after being freed from the Borg and in the same episodes they have a discussion about how synthohol makes wine taste different] before it burned down just before the movie Generations and killed Picard's only remaining family. In the TNG finale a possible future showed Picard working it having retired there.
Picard the show doesnt exist, it was made to shit on star trek fans, just like star ttrek diseased.
Not really.
Most problems are solved by pithy morality speeches and hand-wringing. They keep the majority of space lasers for season finales and premieres. There's an occasional action episode, but the vast majority are about friendship, social bonds, honesty, and cooperation between tribes.
Which basically makes it My Little Pony in space.

they certainly invented cooking with transformer fluid.
Reminds me of the UK gameshow, The Weakest Link.
Female contestants would consistently vote all the men out of the game. It happened so often it was impossible not to notice it. Eventually, even the host of the show (a woman) would call it out and mock them for resorting to such a strategy.
A similar thing happens in our political system.
That's such a UK thing.
wasn't that because you had to go head to head with them at the end?
They do go head to head at the end, and if we make it about that, than that's still a case of women silently, collectively agreeing that they can't beat a man one on one in a quiz show.
Glad to see color blindness is still working out just peachy
I still stick to it but this hyper obsession of race is leading exactly where I thought.
Only one race in the history of the world ended slavery.
Based on that fact alone I would expect inciting racial victimhood and fake grievances in blacks to be more dangerous than anything we have historically seen except Rwanda.
You are spot on there.
"Reality" TV is scripted.
Blind like a 1-way mirror.
That show is still on the air?
People still voluntarily watch corpo-sponsered propaganda?
You misspelled zionist
You misspelled feminist.
You miss spelled the real mastermind behind all this. I think we all know who's really been pulling the strings. Getting whites to hate blacks, men to hate women, and she got biden into office. Big Red.

Garbage
Show and contestants.
TIL big brother is still a thing.
That amazed me more than the news to be honest. I remember that thing being the shit 2 decades ago back in Poland.
The future of America - except "voting out" will be something else
Circle the wagons.
This really isn't making history. Minorities trend very hard towards voting for their own race as a primary factor. Only whites consider the policy or implications of their vote outside of skin color.
It always has been, as long as the targets are white, and especially when the participants are black.
So progressive!
There's nothing wrong with this they were just forcing diversity by kicking the white people out
i really want a marvel offshoot called Diversity Force now lmao
Shitty women's show is rigged for shitty women's narratives by shitty CEO installed by women after MeToo.
You're stupid if you believe this wasn't conceived in a writers' meeting.
These shows are scripted carefully to promote narratives.
Obviously. Who do you think actually writes the scripts for 80% of these fucking shows?
You can't seriously be stupid enough to believe this isn't scripted.
Das ray-cyst. Dey wiz good bois de wiz getting they life together going to skool and getting clothes for church.
