I'd call that apathy.
Its a 20th Century disease, brought on by the idea that the state will come to your rescue whatever the situation, and that money is the be-all and end-all.
Its typical of a culture that is reliant on the goodwill of our political system and our way of life, and is lazy in its attitude to others. In other words its the: "it'll never happen to me so who cares, especially if its going to cost me money" attitude.
