Actually I don't fully agree with your opinion because basically the government also has a responsibility to improve the economic standard of its citizens. While governments may never reach every individual, they have played an important role in reducing the percentage of economic problems to the lowest status in society.
The government's task is a complex task to regulate everything in such a way that it reaches a good level, but it will greatly depend on how strong the country's economy is. Don't compare developed and developing countries with third world countries in the process, but look at it case by case. However, individual independence and good human resources will help reduce the percentage of poverty.
Of course you don't have to completely agree with some of the ideas I want to convey, because as far as I know we are used to not being completely dependent on government policies. Even in terms of regulations, the government has the responsibility to provide guarantees for the welfare of its people. My question is how far can the government reach all levels of society? Did you know that most countries are currently experiencing almost the same problem, inflation and recession are problems facing the world, including the OP's country, you and me, depending on varying degrees of severity.
What can we do and what solutions are offered by the government? I believe that each country has its own way of managing this problem and the point is to find a solution to the problem at hand. The role of the individual is also very important to raise awareness of each other in finding solutions. If the presence of the government cannot fully cover basic needs, you can find solutions to meet these needs. One way might be to apply the following steps?
- Utilizing vacant land to plant basic needs for life support, such as rice, vegetables or adapted to staple foods in their respective countries.
- Take advantage of existing resources to meet all needs, even if the scope is small, at least for each individual led in the household.
- Look for a special formula to get out of the problem of inflation and recession, don't think too far because the most important thing is the availability of opportunities for each individual's life.
Basically all problems have a solution to be solved, even though the scope is small or different, the presence of each individual is also seen as important to prevent the problem from becoming more complicated and the government will also take its role in solving this problem. If everyone is moving and according to their respective abilities, then I'm sure this problem will be resolved slowly. Developed countries and developing countries are indeed very different when viewed, but there are patterns that can be applied where the point is to find solutions and be able to overcome them.
