Somewhere I read that the government once went around arresting theater troupes and the like that were seen as too leftist, but I can't seem to find the specific info. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I really don't understand why this is being flagged. There's a long history of people conducting medical trials without informed consent to save money and it's something we need to keep an eye out for when trials are conducted in poor communities.
But this is incorrect. Flock is just incidentally watching you. Assuming they're being honest about their retention policies (which I would definitely that take with a grain of salt, but I'm making the assumption to steelman here), if no one searches for you, you're forgotten from their system after 30 days.
Stalking is targeted. Passively observing and making that information easy to search for a limited period of time is not quite the same thing, and the distinction has important implications
I think it depends on what degree of parking we're talking about here, but there are downtowns where the city core is full of large parking lots. That situation makes walking basically impractical because even two adjacent businesses will be a block apart, and everything becomes very spread out. Eliminating most of that parking leads to higher density which is naturally more walkable. The more trips taken on foot, the fewer need to be in a car or other form of transit. Sure this doesn't serve the suburban crowd as well, but it's a city, not an outlet mall.
That's because many Americans are against national ID at all cost for some reason. The very same Americans think that immigrants need to have their "I'm legal" folder with them at all times.
What are the practical benefits we're supposed to get from the RealID system? All I've ever heard is "national security" which is the excuse for every harmful thing.
Blatant strawman. I'm a concrete counterexample if you insist on having one. The federal government should not have any involvement in routine photo ID. If that makes certain things difficult I see that as a feature, not a bug.
> The very same Americans think that immigrants ...
Only half of the opposition to federal IDs comes from the right wing people who are hand wringing about ""The Mark of the Beast"" while saying that immigrants need to identify themselves. The other half of the opposition to federal IDs comes from the left who insist that federal IDs are a conspiracy to stop poor people from voting. This is a bipartisan issue, but you only acknowledged one half.
My brother did this once and if you print your boarding pass before arriving you don't have to check in (obviously this is for a domestic flight with no checked bags). The TSA will question you and swab everything in your suitcase though.
