“fact checkers” have really hilarious biases in politics and snopes has been a bad site for years since that one guy put his name on all the articles written by everyone else and fired everybody or whatever that was I’d say “annoying centrist democrat” “propaganda” if anything

my favorite fact check was the one where bernie got a "mostly false" and the text was like "this is entirely true but it just feels wrong and most people wouldn't think it is true"

Never heard of that. I wonder if it's the new critical race theory. Like it's A Thing in some specific context that has nothing to do with what the Heritage Foundation (or whoever) is getting people riled up about.

For a hot second it was impossible to get a drivers license or ID card unless you went through 3rd party online vetting. Sounds like the establishment of a comprehensve digital identity scheme to me?

i remember when i was a kid thinking how stupid social security numbers were when i was told you have to keep it secret. it is so short and so easy to steal. only 9 numbers? that you have to give out pretty often to a bunch of different strangers working at a variety of companies? how is that a good way to identify people, that is so incredibly stupid. well it turns out everything is incredibly stupid not just that, and nothing ever gets fixed or gets better. when you have to identify yourself for some banking stuff, or for TSA if you lost/forgot your ID when you're flying, they ask you a bunch of questions that ~only you would know~ (since social security numbers obviously aren't enough if it is actually important) and they're mostly about places you had lived in your past or addresses near old addresses of yours. The last one is actually impossible in Hawaii, I've failed it a few times and eventually they just acted like I passed. Nothing matters, it's all just a big show.

but if the federal government was the one that was issuing identification cards then how could state and local tyrants discriminate against people that they irrationally hate? remember the whole point of voter id laws is that they are paired with laws that reduce DMV hours for getting a state ID to literally 6 days a year for only a few hours.

The_Franz posted:they already have passport cards, just add a permanent address field on the back and you're done. they'd basically be identical to eu country identity cards im thinking more about a combined digital/physical id where most of the information is stored digitally and requires authorization to get. i.e. no address on the card, but if someone wants the primary address you have registered with the government they can do an authorization request and you can approve or deny it. federal and state entities would probably already be authorized. the idea being to prevent you from having to get updated cards every time you move or something changes. they should be valid forever or until they wear out and you just order a replacement at no cost. also no cost to issue them in the first place. state level registrations like tax ids or drivers licenses would be extensions added on to your federal id. you'd also have a public id that could be used for registration with 3rd parties as a replacement for SSN. when they try to request authentication of you or any other information about you, you would need to approve it and then they get a private identity for you thats unique to you and their entity that they can use for future access and which you can revoke at any time.
