Immense rudeness to a class of people(with many billions of powerful friends on the way, but I doubt that’s widely known), and enforced politeness to machines. This is a road best left untrodden.
“Untrodden,” there’s a word I don’t get to use often enough.
I take it to mean even the replicator, or what ever AI is running things, has a personality and self respect, rather than forcing politeness as a training tool. But I agree, it does represent a huge disparity in treatment.
In the light of TNG, treating machines respectfully is natural, but in comparison to TOS everything is topsy turvy, and having an underclass doesn’t fit either.
I think the underclass *is* the billions of Kelvans that showed up as refugees, that that’s the way the future society decided to incorporate a doubling of its population.
I bottled a batch of California Common (Anchor Steam) last weekend. Looking forward to “boldly going” sometime in middle of this month. It accents the Flern in any dish.

Her room had to be decorated for her by the locals, and she probably has the homesickness really bad.
The extra flern is what really makes the meal.

Who would every make their teddy bear a redshirt??
Someone who had a red shirt, perhaps.
Is that the old 70s “Star Trek Concordance” on the floor?
So *that’s* where my old copy ended up.
I had one signed by Bjo Trimble, “lost” when I moved during my Jr. year of high school.
My god, her room looks like that of a Trekkie!
