Could you legitimately explain this? I keep hearing that, but as far as I can tell, it's not harder than:
ID: Buying alcohol, cigarettes?
Register: Free, fill out stupid card?
Prov identity: Get financing, open bank account, drive car - nope you don't get arrested for not having license anymore? This list is way harder than voting.
Why is voting hard?
They look at my drivers license and then I p ress buttons.
I don't even have to be sane, educated one way or another, sober, etc.
My mid life birthday gift was an electric zero turn mower. Already had all electric yard tools. Will buy Tesla or best option in couple years. Never going to a gas station again!
So indeed, fuck gas
Office culture nuances... I enjoy them.

I worked for a company where the previous IT dorks named the servers after startrek ships. It's cute at home. Had to rename everything and readdress the whole organization.
It's pretty plain to see IBM afraid of loosing vendor lock-in, but running a software solution designed for an open or distributed platform shouldn't be that big of a threat, right?
All their selling points for z series are the insane hardware performance, redundancy, and tuning.
Isn't it unlikely you're going to get that on some virtual or abstracted mainframe platform?
If I was one of the businesses that's been paying the fortune keeping IBM mainframe alive, I'd stay on it. They measure profits in the billions and saving some money going away from IBM and risking loosing countless dollars per minute seems like a risk...
Oh wait, I forgot, all American Corps are currently (since the 80s-ish), worthless greedy fucks solely focused on short term profit and stock price regardless of long term consequences. Maybe they should save some money on one of the things that's helps make them billions...I bet that golden goose tastes amazing 😄
How far do you guys go?
'All of it's or until it's inconvenient?
What's the pain tolerance for when everyone says it makes the job too hard?
Ever compared CIS controls to STIG ACAP?
I've only ever used SCAP for a few reasons z but one being it's free.
What do you guys use for STIG audit?
Manual STIG viewer or SCAP?
Personally, I am also convinced there's unlikely to be a flip of Indiana from red to blue (unless something changes), so I have to consider which red I want, or dislike the least.
I haven't researched the new likely front runner yet. I've only seen comments here, which likely won't favor him, but I might not either after I consider his record and stances, IDK.
Rock and a hard place?
Why is nothing about this shit ever taught in school. They basically say there's a Congress and constitution, and that's it.
And now, we make sure not to leave our they all owned slaves, but nothing useful as a society member IMO.
I don't know anything about this stuff
So when I read this, don't think: "Let's stop ID'ing people when they buy alcohol or weed" (someday), but instead I think: "Why aren't IDs free!?"
If it's critical and a civil need to ID people for all sorts of valid reasons, then it should be free/tax funded.
I'd rather tax money cover something like IDs than hear agreements about trying to restrict fraud. If you want to prevent voter fraud, eliminate reasons that allow the conditions to persist.
Thanks for the read. I do t have an easy idea for the time. Indiana BMV was massively improved a while ago. Maybe we need more of that. There's probably no getting around taking the time to establish identity or dealing with stupid documents. We have to start somewhere.
...or the government records your DNA at birth, then we're good. - j/k, that would scare everyone into rage and riots 🙃
