In some areas, it would be necessary to somehow install trackers on your busses that you use. Depending on the jurisdiction, I've had to deal with busses either being possibly 10 minutes early, or missing their stop time by up to half an hour.
There are so few places anymore where you can't guess exactly what will be in the comments threads, and you go between feeling either frustrated or occasionally relieved to see someone who is open-minded. The few that popped up either seem to become echo chambers with their own biases, mysteriously disappear, or get flooded by organized campaigns to ruin the landscape.
It's like sitting in a mental ward and listening to two very potentially intelligent schizophrenics or dementia patients chat. Interesting at times and confusing most of the time.
But seriously, this wasn't the kid's fault. There are a number of layers that should have prevented this, including NOT PUTTING PRODUCTION CREDENTIALS IN AN ONBOARDING DOCUMENT.
If you have a sensible set of statistics that you believe justify surrender of personal sovereignty of identity to this degree, I would invite you to ponder a set of statistics that you would think completely monstrous, but still arguable, toward such a surrender. There is someone out there who believes the opposite to you, and if you think the creation of a power that benefits your opinions should take place, know that it could be used by this hypothetical person to benefit his opinions.
If you're ok with all that, then you have a justifiable position. If not, then you do not.

Your “personal sovereignty” argument is equally applicable to a sociopath who wants to maim and kill at will.
Because that’s what Plague Rats are: sociopaths that care only for their own “rights”, and are more than eager to let everyone around them die in order to avoid a trivial imposition that would significantly improve safety.
If you want to be a part of a community, you also have an obligation TO that community, to keep it safe from any pathogens you risk transmitting.
If you cannot do your duty of care to that community, find a different community to be in, then. Because you have demonstrated you don’t give a single shite about anyone but yourself.
Effectively, that is true; and the closer you get to absolute objectivity, the scarier it becomes to the average person (which was the crux of my point, so I appreciate your pointing out what you did). Fitting that the dude would have mentioned psychopaths, in that light.
What is this you're talking about? I talked about personal sovereignty OF IDENTITY. If you're going to strawman, at least strawman based on a correct reading of your target's point.
