I think you underestimate how bad the mismanagement is.
You picked a ration off a corpse to feed your malnourished child? You’ve been sentenced to death for theft, to be carried out tomorrow. You have 20 words to appeal. The appeal will be processed in 6-9 months. If youre lucky enough that a planet-threatening disaster is occurring, you might have the sentence suspended so you get the opportunity to die on the front lines of said disaster.
Letting the emporer’s rations go to waste would probably result in the same outcome.
