Less than two weeks after 9/11, Larry Ellison offered the Bush administration a free national ID database.
It didn't happen then.
But where there's a will, there is a database, 😉.

The Sneaky Attempt to End Cash
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CZspAptXwQ
The End of Cash | Plain Meaning
On August 7th, 2026, a mostly empty Senate chamber passed a bill that
most Americans have never heard of. There was no recorded vote. Just
silence. And in that silence, something significant happened.The Common Cents Act would end production of the penny permanently.
But buried inside an amendment introduced at 10:53pm by a blockchain
entrepreneur turned senator was something nobody really talked about.
It was a provision that would give the Secretary of the Treasury the
power to eliminate every coin in American circulation. The nickel. The
dime. The quarter. All of it could be gone with nothing but 60 days
notice to Congress.In this episode of Plain Meaning, I break down exactly what happened
that night, who was behind it, and what they stand to gain. I look at
a senator known as the "crypto queen" and another senator who made his
money selling cars, and how they stand to gain from all this. I also
look at the firms behind them and why eliminating physical cash would
make them extraordinarily powerful.I also ask the question nobody in Washington is asking--what happens
when the lights go out and your only form of payment is digital? What
happens when your digital wallet gets hacked? And what does it mean
for every American when a handful of technology firms control the
infrastructure every single transaction in your life must go through?Physical cash is the only form of payment that requires no middleman,
no electricity, no network, and no permission. This episode explains
why that matters--and what you can still do about it.The bill has not yet become law. The House must still vote on the
Senate version. There is still time. But only if people know what is
happening.CHAPTERS:

The Real Reason Behind Online Age Verification Laws
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHZTeEN2HT0
What does online age verification laws actually have to do with the ENABLING of collecting data from children, China's surveillance and censorship laws, and the profits of companies like Facebook, Apple, and Google? A lot more than you think.
In this episode of Plain Meaning, I break down the real agenda behind the push for operating system age verification. From California's Digital Age Assurance Act to federal proposals in Congress, they have come from the same source. I trace who benefits, what laws get quietly gutted in the process, and why the timing lines up suspiciously with China's own digital surveillance rollout.
What you'll learn:
— Why Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta all win if these laws pass
— How age verification effectively nullifies existing laws that protect you and your children like COPPA and the Privacy Act of 1974
— What already happened in the UK under the Online Safety Act — and why it matters for America
— The striking parallels between Apple's product rollouts and China's surveillance
— Why this isn't about protecting kids at all but more about removing the remaining barriers SO THEY CAN TRACK THEMThis is Part 1 of the Plain Meaning 12-part Plain Meaning Special Report. Links to all episodes will appear as they're released.
The Real Reason Behind Online Age Verification Laws
The rest are coming soon...California's law takes effect January 2027. There is still time — but not much.

Continuing the #nationalId debate, here’s the key part of the #digitalId experience in #Poland core mobile application called mObywatel.
When I want to log in to any government website, they display a QR code which I scan with the app. What then happens you see on the screenshot below (in Polish, sorry) and it’s the critical part.
The app tells me what personal details the website is requesting from me, and I am explicitly approving this share.
In this case, I was logging in to Polish social insurance insurance. The only details they need from me is name, surname and unique id number (think NINo) which binds to my insurance account. That’s it.
Why this is important? Because this explicit share approval provides you with full transparency on what data you’re sharing and with whom.
Of course, the social insurance already has all of my details since I’ve started university, but then mObywatel also integrates with commercial institutions, like banks.
Then it becomes useful, because you can literally open a bank account online using mObywatel, in which case you will have to authorise much more details - which you’d normally be required to fill in a paper form in the bank branch. But it will be always you to see and approve what you share with whom.

The “single government ID” is not really so single in EU either,
All other documents like passport or driving license are optional. National id is something you receive at birth but most importantly that’s the only document a government can require from you when you approach them for an official matter.
Specifically, they can’t expect you to present say driver license and if people use it for e.g. picking up parcel or buying booze, it’s just an identity proxy based on a document that certifies an unrelated entitlement (to drive cars). In the UK all id documents are proxies.
none of our official government IDs prove our residence address
I don’t know about other countries, but in the Polish id you can add your registered address - or not, at your discretion. If you do, it’s the only document anyone may require you to prove your address. If not, naturally you resort to other means.
although forging a utility bill doesn’t sound all that difficult
Well, you’ve just conducted a very reasonable vulnerability assessment of the existing British model :) That’s exactly how that works and yes, it’s based on the fiction that these bills are even authentic.
instead of just letting citizens declare their place of residence
In short, because they need an address where they can deliver legally binding debt notices, court order or speeding tickets in a way that you won’t later claim “I’ve never got them”.
you can’t even rent a home without a bank account, and you can’t get a bank account without an address,
You have just described the reality of the first year of every person moving into UK, including myself 😄

What does the federal govt know about us? What bits of info can it be fairly sure all relate to a specific US citizen? If one of those data points is where we currently live, why can't it keep track of where we should be registered to vote? If it can't do this, if people don't want it to be able to do this, how can those same people think it is capable of stealing an election? So much could be simpler but that would be a trade-off with other values that so many here hold dear. #NationalID #uspol

> Given the 72 letters of the Thai language, it was a substantial challenge to develop an algorithm to correctly read Thai script. What’s more, the Thai NID card does not have a uniform font size for the name fields. This is due to the varying length of the name and title of each Thai citizen.

I've seen folks queuing months ago at the other malls. Never tried to find out how to get one. #covid19 numbers were still kinda high then.Today I was strolling and stopped in front of a Philsys spot in the mall. 1 lady comes out, invites me to get mine.
Price?
> It's #free.
I only have my driver's license. That enough?
> Yes.
Do I need anything else? I don't have other info memorized.
> Only info we need is already in your license.Done ✅ #badphoto 😅
