Good old Orphan-crushing machine
Never heard of the term but YES!
Since most people don’t click links:
The orphan-crushing machine is luckily just a metaphor for the way media tends present the stories in which a person remedies the effects of sociopolitical injustice as “heartwarming” without questioning why said injustice exists in the first place.

The orphan-crushing machine can also be interpreted as a metaphor for late-stage capitalism, where useless products and infrastructure can be produced with the single purpose of further inflating business numbers and creating jobs.
