lol right because our world gives 2 shits about resource efficiency, ah naivety is gold.

we couldnt careless about wasting resources, indeed our entire system is setup explicitly to waste resources accumulating capital.

'efficiency' as used by economists has never meant 'efficiency of resources distribution' it means 'efficiency of capital accumulation'.

in what possible way is burning 1000s of tons of food every year to maintain a floor price a efficient use of resources? it sure is an efficient way of generating 'value' but is one the most inefficient ways possible for handling food distribution.

our society has never cared about minimizing loss or waste, frankly its entirely fine with maximizing losses and waste if it makes private profit.
