so another sign that we have the right insurance company (which yes is a rarely held sentiment) - got a letter in the mail from them about a change of address form we recently filled out and the adjustment they would be making as a result.
That adjustment - they are lowering our premiums.
(without us asking or doing anything complicated)
AAA Insurance if you are wondering we've had them for years and been surprised multiple times by how good they have been (when we've had claims included)
@jfmezei you are aware I’m not taking about Canada?
The proposed SAVE act is an insane bill proposed by the US congress designed to disenfranchise millions of US voters by requiring a US passport (that something like 50% of US citizens don’t have and costs a lot to obtain) as well as paperwork many folks don’t easily have if, for example, they have used a name different from their birth records for decades.

@drahardja related - make employers cover the time workers spend commuting (along with actual enforcement of mandatory overtime which far far more people in theory qualify for than actually get - including many "salaried" workers - but while we're at it, raise the wage level beyond which workers don't get overtime pay.

I will keep suggesting this until I see people mentioning it.
Catholic nuns and priests frequently change their names when they take orders. (As do religious orders in many other faiths)
So the SAVE act is effectively disenfranchising a lot of clergy and religious individuals.
(Also a ton of musicians, actors and authors)
All the other reasons it’s an inane law also apply but noting catholic nuns and priests might show the impact more clearly to some conservative types
@jgordon what’s the notes outliner bug?
(Haven’t upgraded my phone yet or my MacBook - been nervous about losing access/even slower devices while I’m in the middle of a major real estate deal/just moved). I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max so need to upgrade it to a newer device anyway. But i do use notes extensively so fixing bugs in it would be nice. (My biggest gripe on macOS with notes is I can’t shift highlight a bunch of checklist items downward consistently). It’s weird about highlighting
