It's meant to inspire guilt in people who have jobs, but honestly, why should they quit and starve to satisfy some random person's idea of equity?

Mostly I think it's meant to inspire guilt in people who have jobs. No thanks. I've had lots of constructive feedback in peer review. It's sucks that others haven't.
