In 1964 it cost as little as ~$1800 (2023 dollars accounting for the money printing aka inflation) to send your kid to school. In Croydon, NH today the government spends ~$28,000 per pupil. 15 times as much and the results are far far worse. Maybe it's time to end government schooling and open the market up to competition. That is it could cost as little as $150 / month per kid. That is about $10 a school day or $150 / month spread over a year. #nhexit

Are people asking this question still? Of course you can make money developing free software. Financial success or failure depends on your business model, not copyright. It is crazy that people believe the lie that without copyright no one would be able to create content or write code for a living. Even without the GPL and similar licenses the ideals of free software and profits both would live on. My partner brings in enough to work on a free software embedded OS full time.
How I become a paid #Inkscape developer in 2022:
This week's video is the 2022 review where I dig into some of the numbers for how much I earned doing #freesoftware / #opensource as an indepedant user-focused #developer. This is both transparency for the people that #fund me, and a way to see what it's possible to do even without any large business backing in the #foss world.
Big thanks to everyone who helped make this happen in 2022! ❤️

Even in the years where the state reps prohibited state reps from carrying weapons in Reps Hall, they still could not prohibit average people from carrying them! Now state reps are able to carry again under house rules:
