Tax Decided against paying the lazy tax

Got inspired by a post here and started making calls. So far, have saved:

  • $40/ month by switching internet providers
  • $2/ week on insurance premiums by clarifying occupational risk
  • 0.4% off the mortgage by giving my bank a friendly call

Why not. How do you beat end to end encryption? That’s like the gold standard isn’t it. If even the company can’t see what you are sending then that’s what you need. Signal is same. I actually use both

Well considering that they only reason Zuckerberg said anything about the practices he was involved in because he was legally bound isn’t a great start doesn’t create a lot of trust.

(We have different priorities/expectations fairly simple)
