I wouldn't expect the solution to world poverty to be easily typed up on an internet message board.

I agree, which is why I generally stay out of these conversations.

But I think it's important for people go to beyond "That's not the problem. This is the problem" and on to "But here's something we might think about that could work toward a solution."

All I ever see on HN is the same talking points I've heard regurgitated in the dozen or so union halls I've been in from coast to coast over the last 30 years. Everyone gets a lot of practice shouting the right keywords, but nobody ever says anything new, or even tip-toes near a solution.
