<blockquote>Our distribution then becomes foolproof and incredibly simple. We keep our records of the physical costs of production in terms of the amount of extraneous energy degraded. We set industrial production arbitrarily at a rate equal to the saturation of the physical capacity of our public to consume. We distribute purchasing power in the form of energy certificates to the public, the amount issued to each being equivalent to his pro rata share of the energy-cost of the consumer goods and services to be produced during the balanced-load period for which the certificates are issued.<ref name=manhours /></blockquote>

He goes on to explain the simplicity of the government keeping track of every aspect of your life, in order to make the whole system work.

Everybody will get exactly the same.<ref name=manhours />
