    No one needs poor.

      Except the people who prefer to pay less for their goods and services. They depend on people willing / forced to work for very little; they need the poor.

      Also this is not a business where you could hire and fire people based on what is ‘needed’, and you’re not the boss.

      These are humans with exactly the same right to food as you.

        They are nothing but numbers in a spreadsheet.
