The thread will not "solve" anything - it's made up of comments from a tiny sub-group of a small group of self-selecting individuals, mostly with no qualifications, and certainly with no power, to change anything.
But that's not really the point - it's a discussion thread, where people discuss stuff regardless of their position or ability to change anything. The difficulty is that sometimes such discussions descend into vitriol and slagging off - which itself can be fun for a bit, (at least I assume it can otherwise people wouldn't do it and other people wouldn't watch it from the sidelines), but then the thread gets closed and nobody feels particularly good. So maybe we should just cut out the slagging off and contribute what we can - or shut up.
