We get that they are a business and have no beef with their tactics. But we also don’t send as many dollars their way as we did in the past.
And here we have a great example of a reasonable complaint. I think you'll find in this thread and elsewhere a universal acknowledgement that there has been
reduced value for SWUs in recent years. And certainly a recognition that the value may have fallen further for you than some others (like me for example). Thanks for taking a measured look at that issue and not going all hyperbolic like...some people in this thread.
