I suppose it's conceivably possible, but that would be a significant pay cut for a lot of people... However I'm sure those who support the Manifesto will gladly offer themselves up as volunteers

The funny (sad) part about that is that I've actually met a few people over the years (all ultra-urban hipster types) who would give you a blank stare as to why that is a ridiculous idea. It's obviously a very small portion of the population, but I can see how you'd end up in that kind of bubble of naivety if you surround yourself with the right group of people.
