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.

Orphan Co. Limited ?

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.
