This is also true.

It is a reality that many people seem to forget in this dialogue.

Unless people go full-on libertarian from the ground up, which is mostly then that you are paying in TIME not money, because people are volunteering in groups to either A. fundraise by donations to cover those costs and/or B. taking care of the labor of managing those things themselves. Which would be in addition to their busy, productive lives and family lives.
