People are unique individuals, each with their own needs and preferences. They make decisions and face the consequences of those decisions, however unethical it may sound. Regarding the tendency nowadays to declare certain things as rights (e.g. internet, healthcare, education, etc.) they simply are not. No person has a right to another's labour. All of these are services. The easiest way to help the poor is to remove policies and regulations designed to help them, but in the end hurting them the most. For example, minimum wage, deemed one of the "essential services".
