the other side of this coin is the professionals won't save you if they think it's too risky. they'll just write you off and won't lose any sleep over it
the brave amateur will probably give it a shot

Just received this note from a SpaceX engineer helping on the ground in North Carolina.
FEMA
is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!
“Hey Elon, update here on site of Asheville, NC. We have powered up two large operating bases for choppers to deliver goods into hands. We’ve deployed 300+ starlinks and outpour is it has saved many lives.
The big issue is FEMA is actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own. It’s very real and scary how much they have taken control to stop people helping. We are blocked now on the shipments of new starlinks coming in until we get an escort from the fire dept. but that may not be enough.”

@coolboymew@shitposter.world @irie_new@bae.st @deprecated_ii@poa.st people actively making the situation worse by trying to be helpful instead of cooperating with directions happens every disaster

every disaster, the government shows up far too late with far too little and wants to take complete control even though they're incompetent

@i@declin.eu @deprecated_ii@poa.st @coolboymew@shitposter.world you mean like blocking aid, seizing goods, and telling ppl to fuck off?

@irie_new@bae.st @deprecated_ii@poa.st @coolboymew@shitposter.world believe it or not but a bunch of idiots getting themselves stranded and blocking what little road infrastructure is left in specific places isn't exactly helpful
getting the goverment to forcibly evacuate people weeks before anything happens to them would be conspiratorial overreach, but somehow not minutes after the forecasted disaster hits

truly, it's much better to let people die rather than let rescuers risk themselves
how many days do you suppose a toddler can go without clean water?
