govts print infinite money. All of us are working for free. Their fiat is credits for the company store.

If you think funding projects is bad then the response is to support lobbying project owners to put in malware until FOSS is publically funded.

All we have to do is verbally support it. And cheerlead when it occurs. We don't actually have to actively do it. It's a threat which is done in politics all the time.

If governments could print infinite money they would just pay themselves an infinite salary.

Your fundamentals of economics is broken.

They have paid and are paying themselves a never ending salary. The printing is gradual and then all at once.

We will reach infinity, make sure you get your hands on the infinity or trillion dollar note.
