Unpopular opinion, I work in a retail grocery store and I see a lot of inefficiency and waste with snap purchases but… Still not as wasteful and greedy and inefficient as what the billionaires hoard. Redistributing stolen wealth/wages would probably take care of all of it.

Consumer Collars have transfer efficiencies of >99.999% which corresponds to a mass loss of ~1% per 1000 transfers.
The zeolite degrades with mishandling, heavy use, charge depletion or excessive temperature adding 0.001% inefficiency/ year.
Devices are considered unsafe @ <99.995% Efficency

Belatedly, they can't admit to themselves that they're rich bc of luck and market inefficiency. They have to find some reason why it's logical/moral for them to have so much wealth.
So they settle on genetic superiority/destiny and go all in on eugenics.

CRAN: Package spscsfa
Provides semiparametric smooth-coefficient stochastic frontier analysis following Sun and Kumbhakar (2013) <<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.econlet.2013.05.001" target="_top">doi:10.1016/j.econlet.2013.05.001</a>> where the coefficients of the parametric part vary smoothly with a set of nonparametric variables. Inefficiency term is allowed to depend on a set of determinants through heteroskedasticity. Smooth coefficients are estimated using nonparametric regression and the remaining frontier parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood. Technical efficiency and inefficiency are computed using the Battese and Coelli (1988) <<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016%2F0304-4076%2888%2990053-X" target="_top">doi:10.1016/0304-4076(88)90053-X</a>> and Jondrow et al. (1982) <<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016%2F0304-4076%2882%2990004-5" target="_top">doi:10.1016/0304-4076(82)90004-5</a>> methods, respectively. Confidence intervals for technical efficiency are computed using the approach of Horrace and Schmidt (1996) <<a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2FBF00157044" target="_top">doi:10.1007/BF00157044</a>>.

A bit of inefficiency is arguably better for the student experience because learning is messy and non-linear. We should see inefficiency as an investment in their growth and human potential

I'm in China and there's always a funny contrast between the efficiency of the rail system and the inefficiency of the passenger loading.
This is just a queue for every single train at once. Whenever a train pulls into the station, it's mayhem as people push their way up to the front to enter.

Hi, I work for one of the agencies who are getting sorted out by prop 4. Please dont let it fail. We are literally banging our heads against the wall due to the inefficiency and contrary guidance that is the mess of permitting in NYC. I can't get shit done. Not everything is a conspiracy.
