Makes me think of the incomprehensible bills I get from my property insurance company which often sends me things that look like bills that say THIS IS NOT A BILL; in all the confusion we got a termination notice WHERE 40% OF THE AREA IS A BOLD LARGE CAPS LARGE TYPE EXPLANATION OF HOW REDLINING IS ILLEGAL AND I CAN WRITE TO SOME STATE AGENCY IF I THINK I AM BEING REDLINED AND I WANT TO WRITE THEM AND SAY MY CIVIL RIGHTS ARE BEING VIOLATED WHEN I GET SENT BILLS THAT ARE NOT BILLS AND KEEP PAYING MY BILLS AND GETTING MORE BILLS.

If I was running for office my platform would be (1) respect DNT or go to jail and (2) if you send somebody a bill that says THIS IS NOT A BILL, do not pass GO, go directly to jail.
