If you count up the five different Start Trek series....I've watched about five-hundred episodes. After a while, there's some things that you notice.
1. It seems like no one ever has to go off to the latrine and spend some sitting time after eating some pretty solid chunky food.
2. No one seems to have any necessity for duct-tape.
3. Everyone in Star Fleet appears to be some male model. No chunky women, no beer-gut guys, etc.
4. No one on board ever drinks Pepsi or Coke.
5. You never seem to see any bad behavior occasions from the crew where you need to have Lt Jones punished or sent to the brig.
6. You never see any of the quarters for the junior guys onboard.
7. You never seem to see any mental nutcases onboard.
8. You never see a BX or shoppette onboard.
9. No one ever talks NCAA football, which means that it must have just gone away at some point.
10. There's never any uniform inspections, which just strikes me as curious how you can go so long without jumping on folks.

Economically Illiterate?
I got onto a business article last month, and it's been on my mind for several weeks. The writer suggested....that a majority (maybe over 80-percent) of Americans were economically illiterate. I paused over it.
I grew up in a rural area, and by the end of a dozen years....yeah, there was zero knowledge passed onto us, in terms of economics.
To be honest....even the first ten years of the Air Force....it was near zero. Then one day....I ended working with a Captain who had a degree of study in finance (besides Civil War history which was his major). Almost daily, I got a 15-minute lecture on finance, economics, trends, etc. I should add...once a week...he'd also give a 15-minute lecture on either Lee or Grant, battles of the Civil War, and 1800s economics of the south
The degree of hopelessness existing....mostly due to stupid financial decisions? I'd say most of the national spiral....leads back to credit, debt, and poor decisions.
We need some national year of finance chatter....getting kids smart, and leading to better finances across the country.
