gollark: Consider: in our modern economy, there are probably around (order of magnitude) a hundred million different sorts of thing people or organizations might need.
gollark: So you have to *vote* on who gets everything?
gollark: If you have some random authority decide who needs them, then... well, that won't really work very well - it doesn't scale to more complex things than allocating one resource, and that is obviously uncool central power.
gollark: If you just *ask*, everyone will go "yes, I really need a bee".
gollark: There is a difference between "want" and "need", and making it actually cost something to get something makes that more meaningful.
