Why is the trio so poor when Jason has know-how from the 21st century?


Maybe I missed some dialogue that explains why Jason isn't using his knowledge of his own time to help improve their lot. Presumably he's a 21st century high school graduate. Even if he was a C student throughout, his general knowledge of technology would be adequate to invent or at least seed the invention of simple items that would make him/them filthy rich. I mean, c'mon, the Prime Directive is for Star Trek .

He could at least spread the word about infections and keeping wounds clean. That comes up often enough.

But he never shows any 21st century knowledge whatsoever. Must have had a brain wipe.
