no.  nothing will literally extend the free pool.  it is drawn from
a small number of finite cardinals.

policies can extend the length of time some of those cardinals can
be distributed.  but only by distributing the few remaining ones
under extreme rationing.

now that was not all that hard to understand, was it?
