    Fucking ridiculous. I used to cross in and out of Canada without a passport because it’s fucking Canada!! I used to cross the Rio Grande back and forth too. Insane border policies need to be eliminated.

      used to be able to get on a plane without ID too. then a couple planes hit a couple towers and everyone decided you need id for everything.

        I imagine the people who died in those two towers would be horrified at the things done in their name.

        That sentence would probably incite violence against me in a large swathe of the US.

          It’s so wild to me that 25 years later a generation that hadn’t been born yet is memeing about the thing that changed everyone’s lives seemingly overnight.
