Yes, digital IDs are being sold to the sheeple for all the reasons you cite; but many see digital IDs as a civil rights issue, viewing their current form as the pot of hot water in which the frogs are to be boiled, the camel's nose under the tent, a slippery slope towards total technocratic control and, in effect, digital slavery through digital currency, censorship and social credit scores.

"Not vaccinated? Critical of the government? Sorry, no entry. No shopping. No driving. No flying."

I know you believe that government is benevolent; but others see it very differently - the people now being jailed in UK for their social media posts, for example. And it's not as though our rulers are keeping their intentions a secret:

They want total control and digital IDs are the keystone to achieving it. To imagine that Japan is not included in the globalists' plan is mistaken.

Thank you for reading and sharing your opinion on the matter with lots of colorful metaphors. We'll just have to disagree on this point, because I see more advantages than disadvantages in using the MyNumber Card. I guess that makes me a member of the "sheeple" herd, but I have chosen to place my allegiance with digital encryption technology over inefficient, old analog systems prone to human error.

Thank you, Mark. There is no question that digital technology offers convenience and efficiency; but unfortunately there is another side to it, which plays into the totalitarian tip-toe and the authoritarian - and very un-American - tendencies that are clearly emerging everywhere these days. Once the tip-toe is complete and the trap is sprung, there will be no going back to the Bill of Rights and Constitutional liberties.

Totally agree. Governments are doing this everywhere in their own cultural way. With Japan it's the My Number I control and track you card.
