Wow. I tried to tap but the Newegg app has an unskippable 5 second ad for something I didn’t read. What a shame. My fault for having their app installed I guess.

Does this work in Assistive Access? I would try it myself but I’m scared I will get trapped.

Is there something about digital IDs that make them easier to issue than passports? I understand what you are saying that they could have benefits but is that an inherent problem with passports or just bureaucracy?

Yeah I get the cultural difference. Being unaware of other cultures differences is the part that comes across narrow minded. I can imagine why a person wouldn’t be afraid of their government but I’m having a much harder time with their ina

It’s not that the lack of digital ID prevents anything it’s that the digital ID makes abuse even easier .

The US does not have a national ID. SSN was overloaded to fill the gap because “everyone has one”.

How does a human conductor stop a train from hitting a deer? Do they spot it from 3 miles away? The THSR I rode solved the wildlife problems with a big windshield wiper. Not sure what else there is to do. It’s a train .

Why 4 minutes? Why not 5 or 15 or 2? It’s not literally 3 minutes, it’s “3 minutes”. As in it’s subjective and meant as a short term load/unload area. It’s not designed around your strawman.

If you want to debate anti trust and regulation then let’s do it. Google’s dominance is bad for our society, culture, and our economy but it’s not a reason to erode our fundamental rights. Compelling free speech will do nothing to erode G
