We're producing enough to feed everyone and throw it away if it is not paid for.

This cruel system has to end.

Anthropomorphising a system to give it attributes such as cruelty is silly.

Entertaining a lump of monolithic production fallacy is also silly.

There are any number of detailed and specific problems that need to be solved to solve the greater economic problem you describe. A system that promotes direct effort to solve specific problems is required.

Your naivety only exacerbates the cruelty.
