() don't forget that there are a good portion that are just not 'personally accountable' and have no ambition. Do you put yourself in the same mindset?
There are a great many humans that have had a rough time both physically and mentally and need help but someone who just doesn't have the desire to be personally accountable and lives on the edge of existence 'by choice' is an individual or group of individuals I have no compassion for. One of the real problems is that the good old USA actually encourages people to be not personally accountable.
