[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (2 children) Since humanity has never figured out, how to actually do economic planning in some centralized or semi-centralized way without being very inefficient and corrupt. I used to think AI could do that one day, but I guess that was too optimistic… You nationalize Walmart. The big national retailers already operate as central planners. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago isn't Walmart the poster example of decentralized planning? It does the "planning" at the level of store selling final goods, where there is best access to data, such as shopping habits and trends. That's the point of decentralized planning, not having unreliable ad-hoc supply chains. permalink fedilink source parent [+] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
