Larger private organizations are also inherently wasteful. For example, I know a mega-corporation that paid $4000 to put a new transmission in an old beat-up van worth about $1000 when the transmission worked.
Same outfit spent at least $200K setting up a mechanized facility to load retail containers from bulk, then abandoned the operation because there was no money to fix a compressor.
