    Real ID driver’s licenses seem to be a form of federal ID even though they are issued by states. It’s interesting how most people agree that lack of federal ID is a problem but they don’t want the government to track everybody. The gov is looking at Palantir to create a database of U.S. people and maybe it’s not popular because Palantir is kind of shady and right wing or maybe people just don’t want to be tracked.

      Palantir is unmistakably every kind of shady, and people should not want to be tracked by them or any entity affiliated with them.

      Raeal ID was supposed to be the answer to the lack of a federal ID program, since every state has to follow the same base guidelines (approved federally) when issuing them.
