This whole thing is fucking stupid. Stop issuing non-real IDs and be done with it

    I don't think it is that simple. The people opposing the federal IDs do have a point.
    Why would you need a centralized ID and collection of your data if you never take a flight or enter a nuclear power plant?
    Distrusting the central government is part of US culture I guess, and seeing the current administration over there, this distrust might well be justified.
    So I understand the discussions it apparently kindled, despite coming from a country were centralized federal IDs are mandatory (and me being ok with that).
