I would hope categorizing people as "unlucky", "lazy", "crippled", "mentally deficient", "addicted", etc. would be less offensive if it is in the context of giving them assistance tailored to their needs. I.e. I am generally in favor of basic income instead of virtually all other government assistance, but in the case of someone who is an addict, giving him $2k in cash might be more likely to kill him vs help him -- a drug treatment program and regimented living situation for a year might be better.
