Below is what I wrote after mentioning $1 coffee from McD’s. This is the “raw” version I hammered into my “stream of consciousness” file. I started this in a response to Paul, but decided it was too much for a Messenger chat.
One problem with McD’s coffee… their large cups are too tall for my microwave. And their excellent, best-in-the-industry caps don’t fit Tim Horton’s cups.
This highlights one of the benefits of state control of the means of production… there would be one cup size, one cap style, one colour. Seems wicked inefficient to have all disposable cups be different sizes; for instance, how many differnet machine (especially the very epenseive relative to the end producr’s cost (think cup caps, likely pennies per end product, but the mold is $1mega)), enginineering effort.
Or i rthere an efficiciency to hving so many different sizes? many differnet plants making them means more resilient supply; but no reason the commie one-size-for-all cups plant has to be one central plant (leading to supply problems; could be same number of small er distrubuted plants. But if all using the same supplier(s), same problem?
Maybe time to read some Marx or Engles?
But m’ah freedumbz!
Similar to the inefficiency of modern software dev. re: web/apps; how much duplicate effort is there for devs when they have to make a website compatible with all the browserr varients, AND they have to make an iOS and Andriod (others) version as well. If everything was HTML, develope once and display everywhere. HTML5 can handle web & phones & tablets?
