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
Wall. Holy fucking shit.

Apparently that article was "just satire bro don't take it seriously bro" failed satire.
argued that hunger is "funamental for the working of the world's economy"
Maybe he's right and we need to change that.
He's not wrong, but having people work like that is more of a desperation work than a "I'm not going to die" work. Tbh he should've defended hiring addicts because they need money for drugs and the like, similar problem with starving people though in the root of the need to work. The minor difference is that addicts won't die, it'll just feel like it.
Only one who's never been hungry aside from an intentional fast at most can dare claim the benefits of deprivation.
There's also a modest proposal for those into satire.
