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

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!?!
Which is actually said in the original article
Won't anybody think of the employees in the orphan crushing industry?
