The article is actually decently well written good-faith satire meant to address how poverty and hunger are inherent to capitalism as a system. The title was just too bold lol

It's an ironic title. Like saying "A benefit of loosing your legs is that you don't need to buy shoes anymore. I mean I can't get down the stairs to leave my apartment, but at least I never have to shop for shoes again!".

The benefit is real, but it's also clearly not in proportion to the drawbacks presented, so focusing on the benefit is a joke.
