there were a couple of times on DS9 when Quark and Nog flippantly refer to the Federation in similar terms, but they’re quick, throwaway lines and easy to miss.

MODERATORS
Ngl it was kinda satisfying.
What did they just imagine cash transactions happening on starships even when they said many times in every franchise that they have evolved past the need for money?
Theres been several times in TOS where people referred to Federation Credits or when Scotty said he "brought a boat". I think most of us were under the impression that it didn't go full post scarcity socialist until the replicators were invented.
Scotty said he “brought a boat”
It might just be a figure of speech, like Jake Sisko "selling" his first book.
I was more irked that she said the Federation did good throughout the Galaxy. The Federation has always been limited to this Quadrant. Romulans to the left of me, Klingons to the right. The entire premise of Voyager and DS9 was a wormhole to other parts of this galaxy, neither of which have taken place yet. Even the Borg have not spread to other Galaxies yet that I know of.
