Also late 90s Midwest here and I got similar information. We also got completely untrue info like if you jizz in a hot tub and a girl gets in she can get pregnant because the sperm will swim into her vagina and from long distances away.

IANAL, but employment law is generally "it's allowed unless explicitly forbidden".
There is no right to be hired so they're allowed to include any limitations on who they might hire except for those that are illegal. For instance they can say "we refuse to hire people who live in Illinois" but they can't say "we refuse to hire Muslims."

My understanding is that there is an expectation of privacy in the USA in the contents of a sealed envelope. I don't believe that the government can legally open one without a warrant. According to the case Ex Parte Jackson they can't. However...

You have to trust that they wouldn't break that law or someone else wouldn't open it. Depends on your threat model. And as others have said, the government would know who you are communicating with, just not what you're saying.

You're statistically lucky. That's about it.

Also I exist as a testament to the fact that pulling out doesn't work very well.

You have to determine if asking for help is worse than not asking for help. It will be hard either way. I don't know your relationship with your parents but if they care about you and can afford it they probably will help. And if they don't you can make a plan for how to deal with that. At least you'll know.

They're losing because they're going to get tired of all the winning. Which is why the Republicans losing is actually winning. They're no longer tired of winning. So they can win again.
