You are completly right. It's not capitalism's fault that companies would rather destroy essentials to save a few bucks rather than give it to those who need them. No, obviously the poor people just need to stop being poor. That'll solve global hunger without cutting into the profits of those poor CEOs.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen someone use the old definition of lame unless they were being intentionally antiquated, and even then, never in a way to put someone down.
