Don't expect the state to do anything for you.
These days I'm watching the country I live in burn without anyone doing anything. Luckily for me, my area isn't affected at the moment. But that doesn't make it any less painful to see what's happening.

This is happening all over the Mediterranean, from one end to the other, regardless of the country or how rich or poor it is. Fires aren't put out by firefighters, planes, or trucks. When a fire has a perimeter of 140 km, it's impossible to stop it unless you have firebreaks. These days I keep seeing people complaining and demanding resources to fight the fire. They won't do any good. We all know this; I was taught it as a child. A fire goes out before it starts; once it's on the rise, all that's left to do is take shelter and wait.
With all this, I mean that it's in winter that we must prepare for summer. Like a farmer who prepares the land in winter, plants in spring, and harvests the fruit in summer. This is exactly the same. And don't expect your government, whether rich or poor, democracy or dictatorship. They won't help you; they only help themselves. If you want your house to stay warm, protect it as much as you can. And do it in winter.

@eonniechan23, sorry! You need more to stake more $PIZZA to use this command.
The minimum requirement is 20.0 PIZZA staked.
More $PIZZA is available from Hive-Engine or Tribaldex
You’re so right. Waiting on the state is often a trap. Real protection starts with individual and community preparation. What you said about ‘a fire goes out before it starts’ is a pure truth, it applies to so many areas of life beyond just wildfires.
Very true,waiting on the state often leads to disappointment. Preparation and self-reliance are the only real shields when crises like this come.
Despite the huge fund, I always hear bureaucrats when interviewed on TV say that the primary reason for the delay in response during calamity is lack of resources. They are slow. Individual and community actions, though smaller, are usually quicker and more effective.
