It sounds like you have the whole social contract of society fundamentally backwards.
_Everyone_ has a pact with rangers that they should be rescued immediately. That's literally what rangers do.
The exact same thing works with a doctor or an EMT. You make it sound like if someone started choking in a restaurant you would expect the EMT to say "well he never made a pact with me to rescue him from choking to death" so the guy dies.
- AdrianB1 6y agoI think you are right and wrong here: there is a pact that you get some services when you pay taxes, not for other reasons. At the same time people have the right to be left alone IF THEY WANT when they get lost, choke to death etc., but there is no way to differentiate, so the default is to try to save these people with the associated costs. Think about Do Not Resuscitate choice. There is no simple solution here.
