Because if a poor person living in the projects dies of starvation? Oh, that’s fine. That’s a feature, not a bug.

What’s “the projects” in this context? I’m not a native English speaker and have seen this used in similar contexts but I don’t know what it means. Translation fails me, I know what the word means but it clearly has some different usage here.

“The Projects” is a term used to describe government provided (or subsidized) housing for poor people. The term is generally used to indicate “a place in a city where income is low and crime is usually high”.

Ghetto. It’s a flowery way to say ghetto.
