There is a clear implication in the above that there is something blameworthy about Mr. Robertson's situation. If it's not the employer's fault and it's not Mr. Robertson's fault, then perhaps the blame lies with society.

Which was my point.

I have great admiration for the guy. Take a look at this news report and it may change your view of what actually happened in Detroit.
Why should that report change my opinion? Mr. Robertson does indeed seem to be quite a guy but the point I made earlier is still valid. His situation, a situation that shouldn't exist in an ideal society, was ameliorated through individual acts of charity. That shouldn't be necessary.
