Those greedy corporate assholes have an incentive to maintain an efficient distribution system. They dont make money by throwing food away. Any system has some waste.
Here its not really possible to discard furniture that might be usable. When you go to the rubbish dump with a load of stuff someone inspects what youve got and directs you to sort recyclables and furniture and stuff that someone may want. Only real waste ends up in landfill.
They might make an efficient distribution system, but they do not make an equal one. They efficiently choose to send more to rich places as that returns them greater profit. The problem here is not efficiency, it's intent.
Not necessarily. If ever producer sent their stuff to "rich places" there would be an excess in those places causing a reduced price.
