Yep. And even if everybody met whatever arbitrary "diligent/hardworking/intelligent" line that the commenter you're replying to requires in order to treat people like fucking human beings there still wouldn't be enough jobs paying a livable wage to employ everyone. Their line of argument is naive at best.

Treating people like human beings involves letting them make their own choices in life.

Some people are too naive/uneducated/dumb/pressured to make decisions which are in their own best interests.

Raising the bar for employment conditions should help everyone.

A "living" rather than "minimum" wage wpuld help, but the businesses sponsoring governments round the world don't seem to want that.

It's very hard to get out of a place of desperation and poverty. Few people take the time to help.
