I mean, he's probably right, but that means we should work to change the system, not throw more orphans into the crushing machine
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?
there's no "but" -- this is exactly the point the author is making.
