It mystifies me that people think a flat tax will simplify anything. That's just a lookup table. The kind of simplification that would make doing my taxes easier would be eliminating forms, and less of the "if you're over 35 and went to a Catholic school then add line 27 to Form 1964 line 7 and enter on line 12 and on line 49 of form 1040" nonsense.

Falcon Heavy costs about $1000 per kg to low earth orbit. That's $80 billion at today's cost for today's waste. Which is actually a lot less than I thought it would be. But to really get rid of the stuff you want it to escape earth orbit. I don't know what that would cost but I'm sure it's not cheap.
