    No? It’s a metaphor for an “uplifting” story that’s not actually uplifting at all since it’s “about someone remedying the immediate effects of a sociopolitical issue that ignore the root cause of said issue.”

    Sometime ago somebody posted a news story about X person/organisation paying off the lunch debt of pupils. That was an orphan crushing machine moment, why can a kid in elementary school have “lunch debt” in the first place?

    This is not that, one could argue it’s not that uplifting but it has nothing to do with orphan crushing machine.
