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"./
gollark: With a government.
gollark: Sure they can. Just apply penalties/taxes if you pollute stuff.
gollark: > Tell factories to produce 100K units of winter clothing and give them free choice of a variety of different accepted models.But then you don't know how much stuff each factory will need.
