Only lazy people will rely on governments help and if many people will follow what others did like asking some help then for those to come maybe they suffer from hunger since government action takes time since for sure this will have a delay due to more people seek for help. That's why we need to take action towards this and use our strength to find opportunity to earn money so that we don't need to wait for any help since we can sustain ourselves to buy the things we need.
I think the collapse of the currencies are also the fault of the governments. People blame them and they wait for the government's actions to solve the mess that they create but for some people who think are independent enough, they will try to look for ways to survive. Seeking for an extra job to earn more money can be one of the solution for this but it would be better if we prefer jobs which are paid by other currencies which aren't affected by the collapse.
Cryptos are a perfect example for this. If it's not possible for some people to do that, then they can always work on the job they like and get paid with fiat and then use the fiat to buy a crypto.
You are talking like there is enough job on the ground and no one wants to do it. Most of the countries is facing unemployment problems when some countries is short of manpower for industries. This unbalanced of population growth in the world created some typical situation to handle. Govt also been corrupted and they just don't care about people but to hold their power no matter what happens to the country.
