I don’t know which character in this story wrote “payment” in the photo but it reminds me of one of those photos of where they gave a spider crack and let it spin a web…
I think there is an arrow pointing down from the p so it’s not as bad as it first appears but I am definitely giving this person the benefit of the doubt
If it’s any consolation, this dipshit probably won’t vaccinate the kid so there’s a solid chance they won’t live long enough to be affected by much of the paperwork side of it.
I watched a bodycam video the other day where a crunchy (tie dye shirt, “I don’t contract with you, man!) mother brought her teen daughter to screams and tears fighting the cop and refusing to exit her vehicle after driving off during a traffic stop. I feel terrible for the poor children of these lunatics.
A “Negotiable Instrument” is basically a cheque. It’s a peice of paper instructing a bank to pay a certain person a certain amount of money from a certain account at a certain date. It’s negotiable if the person who can get the money is transferrable. Ex. I write you a cheque for $50 and you sign it over to your friend. Your friend can now cash the cheque and my bank will pay your friend $50 from my account.
Here’s a sample bill I found online from an electrical company. The SovCiv is asking if the bottom part is actually a cheque they can cash. It’s just a peice of paper they can mail back to the company that contains all their account information in one spot to make processing payments easier for the company. It might also allow the person to pay their bill through their bank’s bill payment service. Essentially, the bank will use the details on that slip of paper to send money to the company directly from the person’s account.
The thing that really gets me on the SovCit thing is its like, a simultaneous rejection of any kind of authority around words and definition, and yet also an appeal to authority on some “other” definitions.
Its like how in medieval Europe before the printing press there was this arcane reverence for the written word, as if it has some magical qualities to it. Like if somehow they just combine the right sequence of legalize on the right size and shape piece of card stock it will “unlock” something.
