Why is it so inefficient?

Maybe it only looks inefficient because we're comparing against a fantasy economy where nothing bad happens and no losses have to be recouped. :)

Just like the fantasy that these companies that outsource are earning giant profits, when a look at their 10-Ks shows pretty average profit margins for a business that wants to stay in business.
