it would need its own universe for storage, but with infinity dollars that might be affordable also.

I would buy myself infinity autism/Asperger's books. Because there is only a limited amount of such books, I would save the rest of the money for any books on this topic that are due to come out in the future. Therefore, there's an infinite possible amount of such books.

one'd likely be the owner lock stock and barrel, of the IRS- so one would likely be the agency doing the taxation of everybody else.

I might just buy a mansion, donate stuff to look good, and then toss the rest into the street in front of my mansion, and watch people kill each other for it.

sounds like fun. but you better have really powerful barriers between the folk fighting in the street, and your mansion.

If the barriers are Tim Taylor technology, the infinity dollars should ensure enough capacity for any and all forseeable needs.

So, same as the million dollar thread, but with infinity dollars.

this is essentially the same thing as imagining things could be totally free of cost. It is a fantasy and a delusion.
