A few things. First, shoe factories not having enough leather to make quota responding by making tiny shoes is one of the most cunning gaming of metrics i've ever heard of. I think that was brilliant. People in insane situations still have great ideas. Second, I reread my post a couple of times. I missed the collective ownership point. Could you quote the line where i said the workers should control the means of production? Third, the US military is getting tanks they don't want. This is pretty obviously dumb, and a clear example of politicians ignoring experts. Finally, no real deep changes are needed. Look at the EU's handling of toxic materials. If something is super toxic, but not really used by anyone, the regulation is pretty light. If something is slightly toxic and popular, the regulation is light. The dangerous popular stuff is heavily regulated. It's the kind of thoughtful, risk aware policy that's pretty rare in the US.
