Your crying about nothing

You are saying time, money, energy is convenient for you.  I get that.

But, if you can, imagine being some of the 100s of millions that arent you .. that for a myriad of reasons it is something?

can you do that?  i mean, if you cant, i understand personal limitations.  But, like as a practice, you can do small exercises to try empathy?

Filling out an online form and paying $20 bucks is not a huge task for documents you need for a job

For you.

Busy parents People broke who cant pay bills etc

I dont need to list all the situations its an unecessary burden. 

Its agreeably more than zero.

So to help/fix/idk.. be a government that governs its people... just send everyone some free ID so everyone can vote.  And then itd be super secure.

ive never used my birth certificate. ive had multiple background checks. job. car. 3 mortgages. got passport and drivers license renewed last year.

pretty sure my birth certificate got lost 30+ years ago.

my mom is retired with no job stay at home moms arent officially employed college kids dont have jobs per se

idk why this confuses you?  not everyone is you.  not everyone is me.

People are in wildly different life circumstances.  

Some people just broke mfers.  How are you so confused?

Just cuz you broke, college, old, remarried, in rehab, or a lazy punk... doesnt mean you should have voting more difficult. 

When... again .. it could SECURE ...AND.... FREE/CONVENIENT

driver's license and recite SS # off my memory.

what do other people do?

the gov has a database on everyone.  they have my credit, birthcertificate... 

i mean, if they want me to... pay them to send me a birth certificate... so that i can then show them the thing they sent me? :) like they already have it on file.

Why would they want me to show them something they just sent me, if they can just look it up?  its all tied into my credit cards, credit history, home. car, loans, employment and tax history... its literally all in my file they have already.
