 From dictionary.com's second definition for efficiency:

"accomplishment of or ability to accomplish a job with a minimum 
expenditure of time and effort"

Couldn't the labor and materials not to mention natural resources 
expended making food that will rot - and have to be disposed of to 
prevent attracting vermin and disease - be better expended on other 
things? Or left alone to be used for recreation iow have less 
farmland and more undeveloped land by being efficient in distributing 
the produce. Needing less folks working on planting, raising and 
harvesting food which is then thrown out? How is this not inefficient?

Do you expect all your neighbors to also be duly compensated? What 
about a person born to a wealthy family who contributes less than 
they get?  How does that figure in?

What sort of services can a person perform to get a yearly 
compensation of one hundred million dollars? Sorry I just can't wrap 
my head around that one.
