welcome to the orphan crushing machine that first crashes the mother. you also gotto love the slight "polices are heroes and caring human beings" twist.

Don't be ridiculous. The machine that crushes the mother is not the orphan crushing machine - that's the orphan making machine. Different part of the same pipeline. Don't confuse them - they are maintained by different companies.

The companies are subsidiaries of the same parent corporation. They can control the amount of orphans in circulation at will. Congress said "definitely not a monopoly" so it's all good though.
