What about the idea that there are so many more “volunteer” organizations today than there used to be? Simple supply and demand tells you that with more places to volunteer and about the same number of volunteers, you would have a shortage of volunteers. Or the way I see it, an oversupply of non-profit organizations with positions to fill. All the other points mentioned in other comments remaining valid…
It would be interesting to see how much of the economy has moved into the volunteer and .org segment of the economy, becoming in essence “dead money” that supports activity with zero economic return and of dubious real value to humanity.
