<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> Rather than distributing many boxes of 200 rubber bands to the area and expecting everyone to buy a box and let them rot in a drawer they could distribute like 200 rubber bands to the area and you could just sorta grab one when you need it</p><p>This would be solved by a communism but would also be solved by localist capitalism; a general store run by one person rather than a corporation would let me go in and be like "i want 5 rubber bands" "okay, i'll open the box and uh… five cents??!"</p>
