Have any of you got a rebate or check from your auto insurance company yet? [usatoday.com]

Apunzelle comments on May 17, 2020:

Nope. Nor have they mentioned they would be either sending a rebate or lowering my rate. (I have State Farm and pay 2x a year ... next invoice is in June, so we’ll see.)

@FearlessFly I agree, online has A Lot of problems. But, I did my Census form by mail, there was an option to do it online. My alimony check comes in the mail weekly (control freak from Hell, obviously, the divorce was in 2009) my retirement, SS, tax rebate, & etc get to the bank electronically, and I do not believe there is ever, or Very seldom, any problem with all of this. And, the IRS Processing Centers are all set up to process both mail & electronics already. Even the States (most of them) process taxes similarly. The mechanisms are there & we already have an SS # designating us, just do it!

@FearlessFly around here, all libraries are Closed, when will they reopen? And people have a major aversion to feeling "stupid"...Senior Centers have been offering free "learn to use the internet" for decades... some do not want to learn some have no "extra" money for a device, etc etc....so much simpler to get a nice "postage-paid return" envelope, one per person, and send it back. Also keeps your choices private, which a librarian looking over your shoulder will not. And, help the Post Office!

Around here they are free, mostly. A nice envelope with postage-paid addressed return at each home, one per person...and it would bolster the Post Office as well

How about having a centipede charge across the floor at you around 3 a.m. when you're trying to enjoy a little peace and quiet on the toilet? It's enough to make you wonder if you're having a nightmare.
