Avoiding taxes is both legal AND ethical. Not doing so IS unethical.

This is cool, but by no means unique. I got a free ruler from Adafruit years back with an order. Similar to this one, but less specific to Nvidia...

Come on. It did NOT originate in the private sector. Private lenders upped their lending to COMPETE with the GSEs: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2010/06/did-fannie-and-freddie-cause-the-housing-bubble/57664/ It's fine trying to Monday morning quarterback almost a decade later...
