Money has a definition. It is exchanged for goods and services. In the Star Trek universe, they are not trading replicators in exchange for goods and services, the goods are made by the replicator and services are provided freely. Therefore replicators are not money or income or anything.
If treated like animals, that’s what happens. Observe the difference between U.S. criminal justice, and the Netherlands. Without a chip in your shoulder, it’s pretty simple.
