I know that my energetic extroverted 3yo would love daycare and public school. I also know that it’s not worth sacrificing her innocence to the influence of 30 other households just because she enjoys it. That’s my (privileged) perspective as an uber trad daycare hating people.
Let's talk about Real ID, shall we?
Real ID will be required to fly domestically after May 7th of this year, unless you have a passport, which many do not.
I don't know about where you live, but in NC it's IMPOSSIBLE to get an appointment for months out. Real ID requirements discriminate against women by requiring proof of all marriages, going back decades, due to name changes. My mom never had a copy of the license from her first marriage so she can't get one. Men don't have this problem.
Personally I think this whole thing is complete BULLSHIT. Biden flew illegals with no IDs all over this damn country, yet ACTUAL CITIZENS have to jump through hoops to prove their identity just to get on a plane and fly to Akron? Are you fcking kidding me? This whole thing smacks of government control and overreach.
I'm asking @Sec_Noem to do away with this nonsense. It's not right. Stop giving non-citizens driver's licenses and we won't have any need for Real ID. Please repost if you agree.

I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.
I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.
