    “No one works harder than hungry people”

    While this is probably true, the problem is that their reward for this hard work in no way comes close to fixing their hunger problem.

    Meanwhile the assholes in control of the economy and responsible for their hunger problem are taking all the rewards and hoarding it for no better reasons than to compare with other assholes.

      To quote the article in question (highlight is my own):

      “[H]ow many of us would sell our services so cheaply if it were not for the threat of hunger? When we sell our services cheaply, we enrich others, those who own the factories, the machines and the lands, and ultimately own the people who work for them. For those who depend on the availability of cheap labour, hunger is the foundation of their wealth.
