        It’s a a send-up of the supposedly “feel-good” stories about people that go above and beyond to make the horrors of some societal problem (usually capitalism) less horrifying for somebody. Like, when a child holds a 48 hr lemonade sale marathon to erase the lunch debt of his/her peers. Yeah, it’s a nice thing to do, but it should NOT be necessary.

        The idea is that we would see stories talking about how great this person is for slowing down an orphan crushing machine, without questioning the need for an orphan crushing machine in the first place.

          It still is terrible but a different kind of terrible compared to what I was expecting. Thanks!
