The Silence Tax
The Silence Tax documents what you pay to stay quiet.
The cost of watching incompetence get promoted while you do the work.
The price of pretending your partner is an equal when he can't find the ketchup.
The exhaustion of being the only one who sees the disaster coming and the only one who prevents it.
Time. Energy. Sanity. Collected in currencies you never recover.
No advice. No repair. No community. Just recognition of what this costs.
New episodes publish every Tuesday and Friday.

This is exhausting. You're not imagining it.
