Production quotas were often exceeded. Now if you actually wanted to walk in those plastic shoes, or eat those cans of ‘People’s Caned Meet Products. Factory 298’, is another thing.
Much like our People’s Schools products. All graduate and have certificates to prove it. Just don’t ask them to do any subtraction.
That reminds me of a quote from PJ O’Rouke - “Communism collapsed because no one wanted to wear Bulgarian shoes.”
