me how that works for the Oregon wild fires last year? How many hours per week is your volunteer fire crew gonna put in before they want to get paid?
Same with military. How many hours is a volunteer military gonna put in before they want to get paid?
It sounds like you recognize that the market doesn’t provide for these things - there’s never been a market-supplied fire department, and there are well-understood economic reasons for why not. It sounds like your solution is to assume that lots of people will just volunteer to do it for free? Come on. You know that’s not realistic.
