This isn't a very good rebuttal.

Most of the metrics mentioned are essentially unknowable or even subjective.

The overall point was that there are a lot of problems but we are not fundamentally changing the structure of society to address them.

I guess bigotry is subjective (for one thing you can always disagree whether a particular attitude is bigoted).

Hunger measures tend to not be particularly subjective, and progress reducing them is good whether it is structural or not.
