OK. You're the expert. I live in a bubble. So I guess we can't talk to one another.
As for whether people "deserve their fate" -- I haven't a clue as to what you mean.
Do I believe that a baby born to a crack addicted mother deserves its fate? No. Do I believe that Bill Gates deserves his fate? No. I guess the assertion is meaningless to me.
