Capitalism is effective at cleaning up inefficiency, at least if it's allowed to run its course. Twitter, for instance: if it crashes and burns, all the talent in there will be free to move to doing something better instead. If it somehow succeeds, that's a more obvious net benefit as well.

Is it efficient to only make cheap shitty and yet still overpriced versions of everything for the consuming public, shit that is designed to fail?

Why do people buy cheap and shitty things?

Is it efficient to have to buy the same thing twice?

What is this referring to? Obviously not efficient.

Pointless jobs?

That's a total waste, and these would be removed in an efficient market.

Rich people?

In a free market system, rich people happen because they've provided something that others want, or made good investments.

Is pollution efficient?

Pollution is indeed a problem that require global solutions. CO2 markets, for instance, are a thing.

Is it efficient to have to buy the same thing twice?
