    He’s talking about the creep. The current legal battles are to establish the framework for all transactions of all kinds to be logged and processed digitally. A precursor to that is establishing a national digital ID.

    First its optional and you can avoid things that use it. Then, slowly more things are on it and more and more people capitulate and get one.

    Last, they require it for everything, and since they’ve already got most people to get one, resistance is lukewarm and they get their way.

      It really amazes me that people don’t understand this when governments have done it time and time again but hey ho, hopefully I’m old enough that I might at least die before the worst hits because clearly people are to ignorant to do anything to stop it! 😳
