Yes people learn self reliance. It’s called crime. Since if the situation is so dire crime is the quickest way to get out of it. People who call themselves “tOuGH oN cRiME” should be for the government helping the poor. It’s the best way to reduce crime in the long term.

I think Victorian England figured that out. It was cheaper to help the poor than try to police them.
