@BeetfarmerDave At their annual meeting someone asked if you could decline the patronage to avoid the tax implications. They didn’t expect that question…
@AgricolaArat@BeetfarmerDave Terms can get confusing. Non-pat is business that can’t be attributed to a grower. (Your coop owns a c store and I stop and fuel up, but I’m not a patron). This goes to unallocated. It’s not a checking account, just the coop assets. Retained earnings are the paper portion of pat.
@BeetfarmerDave@AgricolaArat Correct, on Qualified equity the cooperative passes the tax liability on to the patron. Non-Qualified the cooperative pays their ordinary tax rate on the patronage and then receives a tax credit when it is retired.
Sneak peak - from Fr Mike in this year's Lent challenge:
“Many of my daily preoccupations suggest that I belong more to the world than to God. A little criticism makes me angry, and a little rejection makes me depressed. A little praise raises my spirits, and a little success excites me…. Often I am like a small boat on the ocean, completely at the mercy of its waves. All the time and energy I spend in keeping some kind of balance and preventing myself from being tipped over and drowning shows that my life is mostly a struggle for survival: not a holy struggle, but an anxious struggle resulting from the mistaken idea that it is the world that defines me.”
- Fr. Henri Nouwen
Walmart has been quietly changing their pricing on produce to no longer be per pound, instead the price is per item
And some of these prices are diabolical
$1.14 for one nectarine
$1.32 for one plum
And it goes on and on. Food prices are out of control
Rollercoaster Tycoon taught my brother and I the importance of interest rates. When we first played, we’d max out our loans because it felt good to see a flush bank account. Then we noticed “interest” payments that varied from level to level. Soon, we started only taking out loans for revenue-generating capital investments.
We were, like, eight or nine years old.
An all-time answer from Grey Zabel on our conference call just now. Asked what he's about to do now that the Seahawks have taken him 18th overall, he said: "Man, I'm probably gonna start diving into these Busch Lights."
@TRaz13@croninjm@NickHorob Shouldn’t matter. Industry does EFPs (Exchange For Physical) on every sale we make. It’s easy but market does need to be open.
Your periodic reminder that a cow cannot add a single atom of carbon to the atmosphere that wasn't previously removed from the atmosphere by a plant.
So, cows cannot increase atmospheric CO2, they merely recycle CO2. It's not a new source of carbon.
And without cows, bacteria would, over time, rot plant fibers and return the exact same amount of carbon to the atmosphere.
But grazing cows help grass sod fix carbon in the soil, thus increasing soil fertility over time.
The climate crusade is built on scientific fraud.
And many of the proposed solutions, like reducing cows, are directly causing much of the soil degradation and forest fires (because of ungrazed fuel in the forests), which activists and dishonest scientists then blame on "climate change".
