Received my new passport today after applying online just six days ago. A simple and efficient process. No doubt Musk will find a way to screw it up.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War.
