Let me get this straight. German politicians think it's a Good Thing (tm) if their citizens need to use identification that can be switched off by two US corporations. It will be the policy of Germany to require all German citizens to use credentials from US corporations for their day-to-day interactions with the German state, for example when getting married or when filing taxes. Just exactly HOW MUCH SHIT is in these people's brains? They don't deserve to make ANY decisions if they're this fucking dumb. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! #Germany #CountriesRunByIdiots #OfficialGovernmentBrainfarting

@phf

It only seems inane because you're not considering bribery.

@killick Well, personally, I find it SO fucking stupid, not even bribery explains it. It's like some USian fingerprinting their kid when they leave for college but allowing the Iranian fingerprinting company complete discretion in determinating if the prints of the kid they get back after the semester actually match.
