If you're vulnerable, like I am, 70 years old, somewhat overweight and diabetic, STAY HOME. I don't expect you to protect me, although it's nice if you do, because I can do what's necessary, and recommended, to protect myself. I sit outdoors, in my backyard, to maximise my intake of vitamin D. I'm eating better and exercise to lose some weight. I'm self isolating and I've fully vaccinated.
I've done everything possible to protect myself from Covid. I've done that so the rest of you can go about your lives as normally as possible. Go to work, support your families, enjoy the life that is so fleeting and precious and don't rob our young of their youth. It'll only happen once and the fact that I'm elderly and facing my demise....as we all will, doesn't mean that YOUR life is over as well.

I know that this is going to sound redundant but.....a BIG BUT......you need ID to work. You need a social security number. If you don't have one, you can't file your income taxes. You could have thousands of dollars owing to you and you can't get it because YOU DON'T HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. What kind of an idiot would do that? If you're working and you don't have a SS#, you're working illegally. You can't pay taxes. A drug dealer or a pimp doesn't need an SS#. A clerk at a 7/11 has one.
If you want a drink, just one, you need ID. You need it to buy cigarettes. You need ID to open a bank account. To pick up a package at the Post Office, YOU NEED ID.
If, for some weird reason, like you've never worked, had a bank account, have never smoked or drank alcohol, never travelled so you don't have a passport, don't have a driver's licence, never had a student card, never applied for welfare, have never needed to see a doctor, never had a Credit Card, never used food stamps or have NEVER, in your life, had to prove who you are....you can STILL get an ID, FREE of charge, from the Georgia government. If you can't get a FREE ID before the 2022 election, then I'm sorry to accuse you of not wanting to vote all that badly.
This idea that needing to show ID suppresses voting is the most spurious argument that I've heard in a long time and deep down you know it. This is all about tribal politics. In fact, the claim that showing ID to vote is the real racist claim. Black people aren't little children. They do the same things that everyone else does. They're cops, doctors, teachers, mailmen, nurses, store clerks, government workers, carpenters and accountants.....JUST LIKE WHITE PEOPLE. They're adults. Quit treating them like children.

The topic is Georgia's new voting laws. Also, my ex-wife didn't have ID because she never worked. However, when we got married she had to dig up a birth certificate to prove who she was when we applied for a marriage licence. I'm sure that there are 3 million Americans that have never worked but if you are working, you must have a Social Security Number because you MUST pay income tax. It's the law. You can't pay income tax without that SS# or you can't fill out your income taxes. That's against the law as well. You have to file for income tax, if you work, or face legal repercussions.
There are reasons that a person might not have an ID but, and a BIG BUT, if you can't get an ID, something that would be useful anyway, before the next election, almost 2 years away, voting isn't all that important to you. If fact, you've probably spent more time arguing with me than the time it would take to apply for a valid ID in Georgia.

So....for thirty years, Jorge didn't break the law.....except for that illegal immigrant thing. He didn't break the law. So what? That's what you're supposed to do. You don't get brownie points for doing what is required of you. You do it because it is the right thing to do and is how we all create a civilised society.
When he filled out the forms, incorrectly, he should have gotten another lawyer, did what was asked of him, and he could have been an American citizen, right now. Instead, he ignored procedure (would that be breaking the law?) and basically procrastinated, until the law and fate finally caught up with him. Suddenly, it's Trump's fault that he didn't follow procedure. Maybe he should take a good look at himself. Had he done the right thing when he reached adulthood, none of this would be happening. He'd be happily blowing leaves and plowing snow in Michigan right now.
Sorry, Jorge. All you have to do is follow procedure. There are 45 million people in the US that were born in other countries, living legally in the US, right now. If 45 million people can follow those procedures, so can you. You created your own problems.

Prophet seven
I'd say, by reading your comment, that you've never worked in the service industry for a living. I have 14 years in and I'm still there, right now and I'm leaving for my bartending job in 20 minutes. I guarantee you that everyone that I've ever worked with will tell you the same. Leave the system alone. We're doing very well with it the way it is.
Notice how it's multi-millionaires, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, that are speaking on our behalf. I never asked them to and I don't want it, either. I work in a small pub and if the owners had to pay me what I make now in wages and tips, they'd be forced to, either lay me off, or shut it down. There's no way they could afford it. I'm no idiot. I see the ring offs at the end of the day and I know, approximately how much they make and they just couldn't do it. All you're doing is shutting down another business and it helps no one.
