A startup I was advising budgeted $75k for their audit, they folded at the end of the year unrelated to the audit, though it didn’t help that they had to pour resources into that while trying to raise more funding.

I think I have a property defined like that (in Rhinebeck, NY). The deed is based on static landmarks, the only directional mention is from stone landmark to landmark (ie, walk North 120 feet to a landmark set 4 feet from Paper Street). No

Mostly, no, because defined benefit plans have been all but killed off. Most union jobs have a defined benefit plan, but union representation in the US is under 20% I believe. Pension plans are "insured" by a Federal plan (PBGC)

Traditional “defined benefit” employee pensions in the US were treated as a balance sheet line item. There wasn't a separate, fenced off, account where funds were secured. In the 1980s it became popular for “corporate raiders” (today

Mostly to avoid what others have responded with. The person I'm supporting is ~1500 miles away for much of the year and I found Apple's update process would randomly disable my remote access setup, in addition to random UI change

It's good that each state can determine the laws applicable in its jurisdiction. If you don't want to comply, don't do business in California.
