Here in Canada, notwithstanding our more or less insane federal government, the big banks are already part way to being private ID issuers and keepers for the feds.
When I log in to a federal website, usually one of the tax ones, but also for my firearm permitting, I do so via a Federal 'Partner' site, in my case the TD Bank.
I wonder how many of the people who are against digital IDs are for universal basic income, and I wonder how they imagine the latter will be accomplished without the former.
Very interesting points, as usual.
