  • The US has no free, standardized, national ID card.
    Each individual state does it on their own. They all have their own rules and levels of verification.

    Recently there is a national standard created. If the state ID meets that standard it has a gold star emblem in one corner. I believe part of that standard is proof of citizenship. But I’m not sure all state ID yet meet that standard, compliance has been pushed back several times; Mostly by conservative states. I think we can now see the real reason for that, instead of the commonly stated “government over reach”.



  • What actual percentage of the American people do you think believes a woman can’t be president? And I mean believe her nature as a woman makes her unfit, not people who believe the electorate won’t vote for her.

    Do you know any polls in the last year that indicate how big a contingent that would be?

    I’d be shocked if it was over 0.5%. Even over 0.2% would be very surprising to me. Of course to get polls that precise you’d need to ask like 100,000 people.





  • Do you believe everyone is always happy with everything their government does? Are you, with yours? I ask because it really sounds like you might think that.

    My argument is that Uber itself has directly done more than enough to be boycotted. Their entire business model from the very conception, was an obvious anti-competitive monopoly play. Saying Uber should be boycotted now, for something they aren’t even doing? It’s not a great reason.

    But maybe I’m wrong. Doing the right thing for the wrong reason, is still doing the right thing. So sure, welcome to the Uber Haters Club. How do you feel about Lyft? Can I mark you down for boycotting them, or any other rideshare, delivery, or gig-worker “jobs”?
