While dropping from 11.5 to 10.4 % is definitely the wrong way to go, 10.4% in a crowded field doesn't seem that bad. There is a lot of competition with McDonalds only having a 15.4% if the LLM is to be trusted.

    Hell, I'd be satisfied if they just paid their own way. Pay for the system upgrades for power and water, pay full rate for power and water consumption, pay for any other infrastructure upgrades needed and pay normal property tax on your multi-billion dollar facility.

    ...on unrealized gains...

    I'll be willing to accept that they are unrealized gains once they can no longer used as collateral to secure loans or used to calculate wealth. Until then they have value and should be taxed either when given (which is different than bought) or as an annual wealth tax.

    I was cleaning our a drawer and found an old cell phone with a swelling battery. I know i can't/shouldn't throw it away but because it is swollen recycling seems to be off the table as well. I found a place that would take it but they wanted $150 for the packaging to make it safe to mail.

    I'm in north-west Louisiana. How do I get rid of it.
