It’s satire. The author is pointing out how morally reprehensible it is, using irony.

Ii is the real state of the world, but I don’t see any disapproval in the text.

Stop it. Stop being so bad at understanding writing. This is literally just someone doing A Modest Proposal again but with an economic lens.
