Except for the cost equalization, this looks like co-op supermarkets. They seem to work pretty well where I live but the focus on low cost means sometimes they don't have a lot of variety.
I wonder if a government could make this work at the national level, in multiple industries.
- fifnir 7y ago> I wonder if a government could make this work at the national level, in multiple industries. Exactly, a government would have the means to centralize this concept and make it extremely powerful. Instead of just a supermarket working on this principle, the whole distribution network could do it. I'm looking forward to the torrent of downvotes without any meaningful debate, just cause I suggested that the government does something (bUt tHATs cOmUniSM!?!)
- aSplash0fDerp 7y agoWhats the incentive for government to get food, water, energy, education and shelter right? If we're missing any one of the five, we have insecurity and chaos usually ensues. That environment appears to be the soup du jour that allows lobbyist and others to do their bidding and force/sneak in their agendas. I think it was mentioned, but cycling thru calamity (the business cycle) with F,W,E,E and S until they hit their metrics is becoming a predictable sh!t show.
