This is the core issue I have with comments like this: they refuse to try solving social issues with business. Every time a solution involving business pops up, there's immediately people dismissing it with a comment saying you can't solve societal issues with business, with no proposed alternative solutions either. Ok, you don't want to solve it with business, how then?
A an aside business has been shown to be the best path to solving societal problems, from medicine, to poverty business is that path. Leave government to solve a problem and as the old saying goes you would get the best iron lung money could buy but you would never get a polio vaccine.

I agree with you, but I also can understand why people may think that profiting from solving a social problem could create a slew of other issues, such as incentivizing the proliferation of that same social problem so that solving it can turn a profit. It's just business! On the other hand I don't understand this hatred towards tech, aside from "it's new, and I don't understand it, therefore it's bad".

The ironic thing is we see this more with government than business. Social programs almost always NEVER solve the social problem they just manage it. This is to ensure a voting base is dependent on the government and gives the political class levers to pull to ensure their control and domination. Government does not want to fix problems, they want to manage them
