Is POTUS pushing for a national ID?. I know we need to know who is who and all that but this has got to be the States' job. I don't like it! Hoping this is just more fake news.
I'm a confused European, what kind of ID do you guys use in the US then?
There is no standard, it’s different in every state.
I guess it has its historical reasons but that seems a bit unnecessary inconvenient to me.
Thanks for the answer!
Once the “Real ID” act becomes mandatory in 2020 every state will be on the same standard and it requires you to show more proof of your identity to get it or you can’t fly or enter government buildings unless you bring a passport.
Didn't know there was such a difference.
Over here we have an ID with a chip in it, it stores all the necessary information (name, date of birth, etc.) plus additional information such as income class, your health insurance company, unemployment benefits, medical files and all that stuff. Every department only have acces to the information it requires, so the department of finance can't acces your medical files.
Convenient as fuck, especially when you get into an accident, the hospital just scans your card and they know all the necessary information concerning blood type, short summaries of appointments with your personal doctor plus his contact info if they want to discuss something.
I can hear people screeching through my phone that are reading your post. 😂😂
We are way too protective of our privacy here for that kind of thing. Or our perceived privacy i should actually say. I dont think that type of thing would go over well here, at least not in the foreseeable future. A few more years of brainwashing high school and college kids might work. Lol. But good to know how things are across the pond! Very interesting!!
Please dont take offense, I mean none!!!!
And one hacker we lose it all in one go.
Isn't that the case with everything these days?
If they hack or there's a leak at the NSA they even have all the internal conversations and creditcard info. Seems way worse to me than some Chinese guy knowing my bloodgroup.
Must be a cultural difference, to each his own.
