Facial recognition will ease the issue?

 

[Teed]

Definitely.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

No

This.

 

[Some Random Guy]

No

Whew, that's a relief.

 

[Slow joe]

Of course it won't. Why would you need id to buy a lettuce and some milk.

100%

I'll offer 50/1 odds on ID being required for everything we do by 2050. Payment upfront.

So that the govt can tax you on your carbon footprint accordingly.

Why not just include the required tax into the cost of the lettuce and milk before sale?

My mate David has been a victim of ID theft.

Now we just call him Dav.

 

[Jon Dough]

Depends upon which part of the world, UK probably.

 

[the boot]

Very rare we don’t use some sort of Id for any of the op.

faecal recognition will be da shit

 

[FishburnMackem]

Exactly, hence the payment upfront part

I'd have taken your bet but I don't want to plan that far ahead.

We won’t have physical money by then. Everything will be by card or phone, which will have your biometrics on anyway. No more cash in hand jobs or begging.
