If a government pays miners to mine "useless" blocks, I think they should mine them.
The goverment will run out of money eventually (either depleting their resources or hyperinflating).
I don't find the inflation bug similar to the current situation, since it was actually a bug, not a feature.
The permissionless, open and censorship-resistance characteristics are features of Bitcoin, not bugs to be fixed.
Let me clarify, I don't care if ordinals are blocked, I don't care if the US gov's transactions are blocked. But if we start this path, where does it stop?
Maybe my transaction is next.
