gollark: And in general lots of things can be done better, or *at all*, if you have a giant plant somewhere producing resources for big fractions of the world.
gollark: Some resources (lithium and such are big issues nowadays) only exist in a few places, so you have to ship from there.
gollark: This also doesn't seem practical.
gollark: It isn't really, though; it seems like it would be more like whoever runs "production" just deciding who gets things.
