- mrtksn 1y agoIt's OK to be inefficient sometimes.
- speakfreely 1y agoEveryone feels this way until they personally have to pay more money for something.
- ceejayoz 1y agoSure, but that can happen with too much efficiency, too. See, for example, supply chains during COVID. We had a very good handle on how much (for example) toilet paper we needed in normal times, and produced almost exactly that much. Having some extra power generation capacity means you're not freezing to death in a cold snap or frying all the elderly in a heat wave.
