  • It’s not even that entirely

    You can’t build X here unless every component is also produced… here. The component factories can’t be built here here until there’s factories building the subcomponents for them, AND a buyer for them here.

    A button up shirt needs cotton -> chemical treatment -> dyes -> fabric, base chemicals > plastic pellets -> buttons, AND the machines to do all of those processes. It’s like 7 or 8 different factories just to produce a shirt with buttons on it. Imagine how many factories it is for anything more complex.

    Then in comes your point of needing commitment when it’s not even certain for more than a week, nobody is going to build out entire supply chains in that scenario.


  • The basic problem with this is that people aren’t equal.

    1 hour of a doctors time isn’t the same as 1 out of a house cleaners time, because the doctor had to spend tens of thousands of hours ahead of time to be qualified for that job. Now each job and even experience levels within jobs need multipliers in order to reflect actual value.

    That’s before we get into the fact that some people are smarter, faster, stronger, etc. Than other people and levelling the field provides no incentive for people to do anything more than the absolute minimum.

    It’s a recipe for disaster.
