gollark: Generally, through markets.

gollark: If you only have 100 bees and 200 different people/organizations want a bee (or multiple bees!) for something, you can't just say "give them to everyone who needs one".
gollark: Your resource allocation thing, though - you don't seem to actually realize what "scarce" means?
