Except for the cost equalization, this looks like co-op supermarkets. They seem to work pretty well where I live but the focus on low cost means sometimes they don't have a lot of variety.

I wonder if a government could make this work at the national level, in multiple industries.

Whats the incentive for government to get food, water, energy, education and shelter right?

If we're missing any one of the five, we have insecurity and chaos usually ensues.

That environment appears to be the soup du jour that allows lobbyist and others to do their bidding and force/sneak in their agendas.

I think it was mentioned, but cycling thru calamity (the business cycle) with F,W,E,E and S until they hit their metrics is becoming a predictable sh!t show.
