The article is actually decently well written good-faith satire meant to address how poverty and hunger are inherent to capitalism as a system. The title was just too bold lol

    hunger is “fundamental to the working of the world’s economy”

    I mean, he’s probably right, but that means we should work to change the system, not throw more orphans into the crushing machine

      there’s no “but” – this is exactly the point the author is making.

      But the machine needs those orphans to keep going! Why would we want to deprive the system of what it needs? Won’t anybody think of the shareholders!?!
