Centralized Planning

2018-01-18 18:25:18.105148+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

A failure of central planning: 'Entire aisles are empty': Whole Foods employees reveal why stores are facing a crisis of food shortages. Yep, this is what happens when you break markets and give centralized entities too much control over a distribution and retail network.

Whether that centralized entity is called the Soviet state, or Amazon.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
