That's not how I read it. Se my other reply.

That argument applies to virtually the entire country, zoned specifically to sell cars, with few recent exceptions. I'm not blaming the mom for that situation, I'm not sure why anyone would think that. This is just another death that seems to at least partially implicate big oil, big auto, and corrupt politicians.

At first I was annoyed, until I realized "drop" is an antagonym.

The Aquaman movies were laying some groundwork for the Warlock comics to maybe be included, which is a hollow-earth reality. It's too bad they did such a terrible job.

The risks of sodium aren't universal (some people appear to have immunity), and were exaggerated by the sugar industry.

Everyone should also get a procedurally-generated theme song.

Military, sure, but driver's licenses are state-level, not federal. Health care has been using birthdate like a password (one that is largely publicly available) for way too long now. At least financial institutions can use account numbers and financial history and code words, but even all that isn't great.

It's a messy patchwork, but I think at the time of the creation of the SSA, the US may have still thought of itself as a land of second chances. IBM numbering Holocaust victims probably didn't help the idea of a national ID, nor did the victim narrative of groups like the NRA.

I'm not sure if it's possible not to have a national ID anymore, so denial of it just forces a terribly kludgy implementation from whatever is around.

Americans explicitly didn't want a national ID.
