I believe he is trying to say: What is one million, in the face of the starvation of 40 mio? I think he is wrong about this premise, since this 1 million people could help create jobs, and feed even more people (service industry, etc). Like others said: It's important for these people to focus on the game they know, and that's mostly information and technology.
