"The entire political process in every Western nation is currently nothing but a work of theater. "
There is much, really overwhelming evidence, in the US that this is plainly no longer true. And there are several efforts underway to reverse the rare, most recent act of defiance by The People.
And by 'rights', you mean, among others, to be left alone to earn income without significant restriction other than true criminality, and to keep most of it,other than to pay lawful taxes?
Even better. Arizona real estate law, and I bet contract law, specifies that revisions are expected to be honored in preference to 'previous' provisions, in contracts, the principle being that a change should be considered the intention. But insurance policies are, indeed, different, as the cover sheet and synopsis are murky bits, with much dispute over whether these are the governing statements of a policy.
The bill to make that explicit was actually a good idea, if it had included the requirement of a disclaimer, required to be in the largest font used on the page other than for titling, stating that everything on the cover sheet and synopsis was nonbinding... Which of course could, for some, raise the suspicion that the insurer was not being entirely truthful in the summary...
I fear this is a response to a recent incident of abuse at an extended care center here in Arizona. An incident so abhorrent I will not describe it here. So we have an ambulance chaser making such a noble proposal...
And the overreach:

The bill specifies collection from (with my notes in parentheses):
1. A PERSON WHO IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO SUBMIT FINGERPRINTS FOR PURPOSES OF IDENTIFICATION AS PART OF AN APPLICATION FOR LICENSURE, CERTIFICATION OR A PERMIT OR RENEWAL OF A LICENSE, CERTIFICATE OR PERMIT IF THE PERSON HAS NOT PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED DNA ID. (see the list above)
2. A PERSON WHOSE EMPLOYMENT OR POSITION REQUIRES FINGERPRINTING FOR PURPOSES OF IDENTIFICATION. (apparently requiring collection if an employer requires fingerprinting, overreach)
3. A PERSON WHO IS EMPLOYED BY OR VOLUNTEERING WITH A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. (redundant)
4. A PERSON WHO, FOR ANY OTHER REASON, IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO SUBMIT FINGERPRINTS FOR PURPOSES OF IDENTIFICATION. (redundant)
5. A DECEASED PERSON, WHOSE DNA ID SHALL BE COLLECTED BY THE MEDICAL EXAMINER OR THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S DESIGNEE AND SUBMITTED PURSUANT TO PROTOCOLS DEVELOPED BY THE DEPARTMENT. A DECEASED PERSON'S DNA ID MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS AFTER COLLECTION.
I block all.xyz,.icu,.stream domain mail. All of it. there are no legitimate emails coming to me from those domains.
And a lot of what I think of as 'legacy' domain blocks..cn, which I whitelist case-by-case..ru,.by,.rs,.ee, a bunch of others. I have no legitimate email form them for years.
outlook.com mail has become even less trustworthy than yahoo.com mail, and gets scored up hard.
And then my inbox is manageable. No more than about 100 per day.
My work mail, however, is my primary means of communication with teams that need me, or that I need, and so I scan everything and respond. Less than 10% of my work mail is superfluous.
The concept that some of your work email can be ignored is interesting to me. Yes, some of mine is ignored, duplicate notifications, unimportant announcements and invites, yes. But 'not important to me' doesn't exist in my work. Anything that I reject still has to be addressed, so it's either 'no, this cannot/will not be done because...', or 'send this -here-'.
And I do, in effect, 'train' coworkers and other teams to send work where it should have gone.
Oh, and my manager is very good at dealing with his flood of email. Server-side rules help this.
The single greatest advance for humanity was the printing press. The ability to accumulate and deliver knowledge beyond a generation or two, and to many, changed everything. Skills could be taught. Knowledge developed, information shared, at a scale never before practical. And accurately.
Now while the media change, publishing is still publishing. eBooks are books, though we are well on the way to losing the greatest value of a printed book in the current paradigm - to be able to share it, physically and freely, with others. At the moment it isn't illegal to give a book I've purchased to someone else.
Textbooks, be they printed on paper or delivered as data, are textbooks. Perhaps the greatest danger of eBooks is that they are indeed editable in a moment, even while you were reading it, if the author or publisher cared to. And of course, bad actors could also do so, surreptitiously, but that's pretty criminal.
And we should have figured out by now that education is not benign. Some have purposes other than enlightenment. This is the price of freedom - sometimes you have to deal with what you disagree with or fear. There are much worse things.
Actually I mix FFA and FFL all the time. FFL I should have written, Federal Firearms License, also used to refer to an FFL holder who can sell, transfer, send and receive firearms in accordance with law.

Ticket sales would say otherwise
I wrote, actually, " An incident so abhorrent I will not describe it here."
Here.
I'm not hiding from it. You have no idea who I am or what I do. But I don't answer to you.
An illusion no longer shared by as many.
Hollywood. Video games. Comics. TV. It's either us or Japan. Not everything, but a lot. A lot.
That would be inconsistent with much Arizona law. A more explicit cover sheet and summary would be best, yes.
It always was, baby, it always was.

"IMO the way the US insulate it from the rest of the world culture,"
WHAT? The rest of the world craves and imitates US culture in so many ways.
We're just on the way to adopting the worst of the rest of the world's governance and law.
Oh? That's not in the bill.
By 'he', you mean Bernie?
And by 'rights', you mean, among others, to be left alone to earn income without significant restriction other than true criminality, and to keep most of it,other than to pay lawful taxes?
Or what?
Sadly, there is a kernel of truth in your rant.
Please don't exceed that truth. It is enough by itself.
If you attributed this to the intentions of any particular political party, you;re doing it wrong. There is only one State.

Couldn't have THAT, could we?
And you clearly do not even recognize the error in your own statement.
Think it through.
Please go the hell away.

Your numbers are off, actually significantly for the discounts involved. And some of these fees, for merchants, are unpredictable.
But it would be a fascinating test to permit merchants to disclose and offer cash pricing - for a fee.
Seems like there are some FFAs posting here.
Thank you.
SBRs are indeed licensed differently, no matter if they are 'made' or purchased. And prohibited persons are in violation.
Work the part slowly. You didn't want to go too fast anyways. And keep the tool sharp.
