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

      Stop it. Stop being so bad at understanding writing. This is literally just someone doing A Modest Proposal again but with an economic lens.

          “please demonstrate that you have any reading comprehension skills whatsoever”

          “please stop being so mean to me”

            Who would build any sort of factory if they did not know that many people would be available to take the jobs at low-pay rates

            Much of the hunger lirerarure talks about how it is important to assure that people are well fed so that they can be more productive. That is nonsense

            No one works harder than hungry people.

            […]well-nourished people are far less willing to do that work

            For those of us at rhe high end of the social ladder, ending hunger globally would be a disaster.

            I guess the irony is lost on me. Nothing here indicates that it’s wrong or should change. Also, you’re a huge asshole.

      It’s satire. The author is pointing out how morally reprehensible it is, using irony.
