How do you ask someone to starve when they have a legitimate alternative?

I know this was more of a rhetorical question, but for anyone who is legitimately asking this question: you show them that it's not actually a binary choice. There's options like communism and unionization that can both protect them and feed them.

The best part of long-term solutions is that they're actually solutions. The worst part about immediate satisfaction is that it's only immediately satisfying. If someone has an immediate problem, it's hard to get them to look at long-term solutions.

Sorry, I've been a major downer today...
