There's a problem in the D economic system

This is a bold, very bold post.

I think there's a problem in the economic system of the D lang 
foundation.
And because of this problem I'll stop contributing to the 
compiler and the standard library.

Basically what has opened my eyes is this situation: like often I 
have money problems. Since six months I have fixed something like 
50 dmd bugs. So a natural reflex was to contact the D foundation, 
to ask for a little "bounty".

The reply from the foundation was something like : "we cant do 
that because now we are a legal entity and also this would make 
other contributors jealous".
Ok so I propose a serious project... I even reserve **three 
weeks** for it... No replies nothing.

So you've lost me. If someone in needs cant even get 50 bucks 
from the foundation, in retribution for 50 bug fixes, there's a 
serious problem.

Goodbye.
