You really can't make this shit up.
The "German" company that's making "Real ID" licenses for Ohio is a subsidiary of a German banknote printing company. That "business" is one of the shadier businesses there is.
The company is a subsidiary of Giesecke+Devrient. They printed money for the Weimar Republic and for Mugabe's Zimbabwe. Seems legit!
I need to research the "Real ID". I think the concept is to have an international ID for everybody, instead of a passport. Corporations want people to move around from country to country chasing fake money.
It'll be interesting to see if that world evaporates as a concept before any of it becomes tangiable day-to-day reality. I'd bet on evaporation.
