As Musk's cadre of twentysomethings harvests our personal information, I'm glad freezing accounts with the three big credit bureaus is free and easy. Experian and Equifax I did online in a minute or so, but I called TransUnion on the phone because their website was sluggish.

If anything, RFK, Jr. permanently ended impostor syndrome. After today, no one should ever feel unqualified for anything, ever.
