The majority of the food isn’t spoiled. There’s nothing wrong with it before it goes to the landfill, it just looks funny. Same for the furniture and clothes. That was last seasons stock, and we can’t give it away, so into the dump it goes. They do the same with housing. It just takes longer. The worst thing you can do with a building is let it sit empty. They rot quicker that way.

Hyperbole.
Yes some things are wasted, that doesn’t mean they can be redistributed to solve scarcity.
It means its not economically viable to get those things to the people who need them.
