As most people might be aware now, about a year ago(from April 29^th until later May of 2024) a calamity destroyed 450 of 493 municipalities in my state, killing hundreds and leaving tens of thousands homeless. During rescue mission we were seeing the richest people lending their vehicles, boats, helicopters and several resources to help rescue people still in danger and send supplies to those who lost everything. Libertarians started using a variation of Gadsden Flag referencing business owners who were using their jeeps, boats and helicopters in coordination to local rescue efforts. They also create crowdfunded associations like Friends of the Valley to rebuild destroyed infrastructure faster than the government with donations from local businesses. But that was last year.

A few days ago I saw one of the richest men in Brazil and an MMA fighter being interviewed by local news as they were inaugurating 40 new homes in Guaíba city for families who are still living in city shelters a years after the tragedy.
