The real problem if that's the scenario is that his social security check is less than $400/month.

Have you ever tried faking your parents signature to get out of school? I have

Yeah. I've been able to do it since I was 10. It's really easy. I can also fake my husband's and siblings'. It's also a pain in the ass to change your signature. So if someone learns to copy it (like say based on the signature that was literally required to be on the card), it's much hard to change it compared to a pin (which should definitely not be written on the card).

I struggle to think of what that extremely secure infrastructure would look like. Are you imagining signing on an electric terminal and having a computer compare signatures at the time of sale? That seems like the most secure and still wildly insecure compared to a pin.

And, the next ultra-big step: How would a non-techie figure this shit out?

They don't have a computer, another computer with a different OS, or bitwarden.

Do you think signatures were at all secure? If they cared about security they'd do chip+pin like most civilized countries.

You work at IBM or something? Who even still uses VHDL?

You can't see something small right behind you with that.

I'm doing that anyway. I have a fixed work schedule and can't be like "Eh, I have enough money, I'm just going to work 35 hours this week." It would be amazing if I could, but I don't know many people who have that option. So since I pretty much get the choice of working 40 hours a week or not working, I'd like to maximize my other time.

Yeah but there are 0 third party/independents who didn't get elected as a Democrat/Republican.

Implying he only makes executive orders about things he has a say in.

How many progressives do we have in the house? How many green party members (or any independent/third party member who wasn't initially elected as a Democrat/Republican)?
