Saying “it feels like a trap” is what prompts the comments about trolling. “This is dumb,” or “this is regressive and adds a tax on poor people who want to get a passport, requiring them to spend money to get copies,” are legit complaints. Some kind of nefarious plot? Unlikely in the extreme.


I mean, I like that you’re attempting to troll, but it kind of falls apart with a simple internet search for “state certified birth certificate copy,” if that’s the “physical document to prove your citizenship,” you’re talking about.


Well, almost all “new” media is just repackaging the “old” media to make a buck off of a combination of nostalgia and a pivot to a different platform. No one will care because no one will feel compelled to watch the fourth or fifth reboot of Harry Potter.


Heck, even death is hella expensive.


All the while claiming that they’re doing what they should and satisfying the letter of their remit.


“Investigation” should be “looks left, looks right, sees obvious conclusion.”


Less “reduce the number,” and more “make the poor more tractable.” The rich still need human carpet to walk on, they just need it to be uneducated, fecund, and desperate to get under their feet.
