The real question is, does the US provide all the consular services to its citizens for free because of the taxation? I know that a lot of other countries levy fees on their citizens for some services, especially those that are "nice t

I have had a few appointments where they didn't ask me about what device I wanted to use at all, just send me a webex link and had me join in a browser. Works for (almost) all devices.

In that case use your company provided account. Just like all tools I would expect that to be provided by the company and as such availability of these tools wouldn't be my problem. Also, use a private account for private stuff, if tha

I am pretty sure that a court could order your backyard to be excavated if it believed something important buried there. That said, hiding evidence from law enforcement/money from the tax authorities is a crime anyways, regardless of w
