        It's easy to defraud the system - no requirement to provide ID, because somehow requiring ID is a tax on the poor. though I'm not sure how you even have a job if you don't have an ID? oh yeah, illegal/under the table jobs.

        IDs should be free and universal. Only legit way for them to work.

        "Legit" being the big word....

                I have a hard time disagreeing with this. Pretty much anything the government requires you to have, should be paid for by the government - but that's not a blank check for the government to just start requiring anything/everything and just tax the crap out of us to pay for it. I am not saying that!

                  does being in straight lines, etc somehow ensure a better design layout? What if the circuit paths are shorter this way?

                  I'm still not okay with it.

                          No more so than cabling in your datacenter needs to be neat and tidy to work.

                          It's... just... really wrong. Goes against everything I've been taught.

                                Not really. It's less slippery than requiring things and making us pay for them when a job can't exist until we do. Nothing is worse than a secret tax.

                                  lol it's not a hard and fast thing so I took it out. But really! It's killing me here. It's like this being your datacenter and you have people tour it every day and stare at it. Horrific.

                                    Actually less than the current situation. It's slipperier now.

                                      I was gunna layout a board, but then I got high.... and did it anyway

                                      does being in straight lines, etc somehow ensure a better design layout? What if the circuit paths are shorter this way?

                                      No more so than cabling in your datacenter needs to be neat and tidy to work.

                                      It's... just... really wrong. Goes against everything I've been taught.

                                      I saw that equal statement.. Cable length (lives) matter 😛

                                      lol it's not a hard and fast thing so I took it out. But really! It's killing me here. It's like this being your datacenter and you have people tour it every day and stare at it. Horrific.

                                        It's easy to defraud the system - no requirement to provide ID, because somehow requiring ID is a tax on the poor. though I'm not sure how you even have a job if you don't have an ID? oh yeah, illegal/under the table jobs.

                                        IDs should be free and universal. Only legit way for them to work.

                                        I have a hard time disagreeing with this. Pretty much anything the government requires you to have, should be paid for by the government - but that's not a blank check for the government to just start requiring anything/everything and just tax the crap out of us to pay for it. I am not saying that!

                                        Slippery slope, there.

                                        Which is why we call that a logical fallacy. It prevents us from having a reasonable discussion when people immediately assume the worst.

                                          When government is at the helm, only an idiot would not assume the worst. It's the only thing they know how to do consistently.

                                            No more than anything else.. but no less either.

                                            Actually less than the current situation. It's slipperier now.

                                            I think the point was missed. The "slippery slope" is that once you create the precedent that it's okay to tax to offer "free stuff to everyone", it can quickly become an open door to tax more and more, as long as the money goes to give something to everyone. That's scary. There is an awful lot of stuff that someone can "justify" as important for everyone, and then we all have to pay for it.
