Before creating the disparity and the desperation someone should have taken into account the societal and social costs,

 ...but that wasn't a concern to those creating the disparity and the desperation.

Someone else will pay those costs, not the people causing the disparity and the desperation.

As long as the system is rigged to create even more disparity which leads to more desperation, these 'costs' will be passed on to the 'little guy'.

And the 'blame' can be laid at the feet of those driven to desperation.

Murica.
