honestly at this point we should just compost them and cut our losses

Yeah. I hear the the desperate pleas of the liberal politicians when they finally realize that all the wine mom's are now Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries and spent the last few years learning to shoot a rifle and 3D print drone parts.

Taxes seem like something we asked you to try and you didn't. It's too late now.

Problem is then their wealth just gets passed down the line. You could keep going till there's nowhere for it to go, but people tend to yell at you when you bring up composting their kids (at least they did when I did it).

Well. Here in America, there absolutely is....

I've always thought it's crazy how municipalities can mandate your yard.
