    You need to stop looking at americans as some sort of normal people whose problems apply to everyone else.

    Motherfuckers can’t even get the concept of national ID cards right.

      Motherfuckers can’t even get the concept of national ID cards right.

      There’s a sharp dispute over the purpose of such a card. Do you want cards to rapidly integrate people into your society? Or do you want them to strictly exclude and segregate people into immuntable castes?

      Hard to create a single universal document if you can’t agree on that premise.

          That’s how the SSN was pitched, sure. Then it became a reliable unique identifier and started getting used for everything.

          Which country do all the smart people live in, again?
