also, anyone that’s consulted (like real consulting: not bullshit “management” consulting: actually building, but with a mandate and permission to actually change shit and get things done) knows that human systems are not perfectly efficient either
just like no machine is perfectly efficient (they all lose energy to tolerance, error, wear, slop, friction, heat, etc), human organisations lose efficiency in both materials and human effort for similar reasons: liquid capital must be available to deal with emergencies (eg paying people during a global pandemic), warehouses must have stock, humans must check to ensure other humans haven’t made mistakes or acted with malice
just because theoretically humanity produces more than enough money, food, hygiene supplies, etc to feed the US population (~>300m) 20x over doesn’t mean all of those supplies would be enough to feed, clothe, and sanitise the world (~>8b)
