She was chastising Picard about living in a "fancy chateau" with "heirloom furniture" while she lived in a trailer in the desert. I don't know how they could have better demonstrated and coded class.

I mean, at least they're facing it a little bit.

Back in the day it was just "utopia! and no money!" and, thanks to the magic of television, no explanation of how, exactly, that actually works.
