I always found it hilarious that while significantly poorer countries can have working national ID systems, in the U.S. it’s somehow too expensive to give 10% of people any form of ID at all. Like, have you considered a tiny slice of the trillions of stimulus, or military, or whatever money printed can be dedicated to solving this problem? In fact I bet EM’s Twitter acquisition money can solve this problem five times over. But no, we have to hear this “it doesn’t work here” excuse over and over. What a joke.

People will lose their national id’s anyway and whiners would complain that the system is unfair because 11% of people lose their id’s and are unable to get a replacement. They will claim that getting a replacement is an unfair burden; some of these people cannot get public transportation from their cave in the middle of the Texas desert.
