If I did have such a number, the dry cleaner could know when I was on my way to the store and bring my clothes up to the counter so they are ready when I arrive. And they could hold my amazon purchases for me to pick up at the same time.
- AnthonyMouse 9y agoWhy would I want my USB adapter delivered to my dry cleaner instead of my home or workplace? Literally none of those things require a national ID anyway. You can just give them that information, if you want to. The ID only allows to it to happen without your consent. Including all the things you don't want, like price discrimination.
- 794CD01 9y agoIf that's your preference, then instead you'd opt to have your dry cleaning delivered to your home or workplace as well.
- AnthonyMouse 9y agoIn which case it no longer has any relationship with your Amazon purchases, which come from an entirely different place. And still doesn't require a national ID to implement.
- 794CD01 9y agoThere are systems like the one we use today where it doesn't have one, but that means each vendor has its own independent source of truth for things like your mailing address, delivery preferences, etc that are more convenient to maintain in only one place.
- talmand 9y agoI fail to see enough advantage in such a system to go along with that idea.
