I feel very sorry for your view of the world, and I choose to see the world differently. And let's walk through a very small example of solving world hunger.

To solve hunger, one needs food. Farmer produce food, great. They solve the hunger issue. But without transportation and cold chain, the food produce by the farmer can feed only those living close by. Are those working in the transportation and storage industry not doing their bits for making the world a slightly better place?

Transportation, and cold chain, needs computer and software in many different parts of the system to work in harmony. And that's where we programmer contributed. Are you saying you rather carry the food yourself from the farm to those who need it?

In today's world, yes many are currently being exploit for profit for sure. This will have to be solved differently. However, this flaw does not diminish the fact that we as human are living in a better world than the last century.
