Performance

gollark: Well, not "happens to", "does".

gollark: Because it happens to work *okay* as a way to allocate resources so that you satisfy people's demands.

gollark: I mean, yes, if they can't do work of some sort, I don't see why you would expect they would be rewarded the same way as someone who *can*.
