@yosh@toot.yosh.is something I internalized in the Texas winter storm of 2021: the opposite of "efficiency" isn't "waste" it's "redundancy"

@Schneems@ruby.social @yosh@toot.yosh.is Some month ago I read an article about Deutsche Bahn (DB, German train operator). The commentator argued exactly your point! DB has since privatisation claimed to make its services more efficient. As a result it has become more and more unreliable. Profits for shareholders and management are up. Punctuality is down. Instead the article wrote DBs top priority (as a state owned company) should have been not „efficiency“ but „resilience“.

@Schneems@ruby.social @yosh@toot.yosh.is Canadians will attest that this is true not only in Texas
