The only solution to those people starving to death is to kill the people that benefit from them starving to death. It's a solved problem, the solution isn't palatable. No one is starving to death because of a lack of engineering prowess.

Figuring out how to align misaligned incentives is an engineering problem. Obviously I disavow what you said, I reject all forms of advocacy of violence.

There are solutions other than "to kill the people that benefit", such as what have existed for many years, including but not limited to:

  - Efforts such as the recently emasculated USAID[0].
  - Humanitarian NGO's[1] such as the World Central Kitchen[2]
    and the Red Cross[3].
  - The will of those who could help to help those in need[4].

Note that none of the aforementioned require executions nor engineering prowess.
