gollark: If there's some leather available, and two different production processes needing leather, how do you decide which factory gets which?

gollark: And a quota for "10 tons of nails", so they made a single 10-ton nail.

gollark: There were things with Soviet truck depots driving trucks in circles pointlessly because they had a quota of "40000 miles driven".

gollark: If your factory is told to make 100K units of winter clothing of any kind they will probably just go for the simplest/easiest one, even if it isn't very useful to have 100K winter coats (extra small) (plain white). Now, you could say "but in capitalism they'll just make the cheapest one", but companies are directly subservient to what consumers actually want and can't get away with that.

gollark: That is why we have the "legal system"./
