Well I mean without a consolidated NatID there aren't very many viable ways to actually index that kind of stuff

Hey NWO conspiracy big brains. I thought this was supposed to be a permanent visa?
I'm still waiting for the vaccine to kill me. They promised I only had 2 years, but here I am...
Wait, the 5G alert that went out earlier today didn't activate the nanite shed and turn you into a zombie?
Huh, you must have gotten one of those placebo shots.
Bbbrrraaaaaiiiiinnnnnssssss
2 years? Damn mine promised to kill me in short 6 months. Still waiting though, so you might have got the better deal...
"iTS BeCaUsE wE sToPpEd ThEm!"
- magical thinking morons
Wasn’t it considered a conspiracy that they would even exist at all?
I'm gonna keep mine and pull it out when I want to revisit the time I got on 95 in New Hampshire the day after they announced everything is shut down.
Just me.
Normally, it's thousands of cars.
Just me, lol. I was laughing my ass off and just kept saying, "No way, man. No fucking way." That was so wild.
I just remember gas being 1.99 and thinking how crazy that was.
And they were still bullshitting us at that price. They hit negative numbers. Were paying oil barrel buyers to store it. Negative prices.
Mid to late 90's in Georgia (US) when I heard OPEC would start limiting barrel sales. We were at $0.63/gallon. Knew I'd never see that again. The days of pocket/couch change road trips.
Crude isn't RBOB. Converting crude oil (which went negative) into automobile gas (which didn't) is a process that takes time/work, and not everyone has the infrastructure to do it. Crude also loses the ability to convert to RBOB in time, so if you buy and can't convert or use it otherwise in time, it's wasted money. Crude went negative but RBOB didn't, and auto gas companies were making only their usual profit off of it at the time.
Yep. Essential healthcare worker here. Spent every day feeling like I was living in an apocalypse movie during my commute. Normal 30+ min commute was 22 minutes.
Los angeles freeways were empty! It was beautiful. Everyone on them were flying at 80mph with zero accidents.
Yeah, it was eerie. I was "essential" and driving in during what would normally be rush hour and only seeing two cars the whole way was wild.
I lived in a major city at the time, the sidewalks were insanely empty. I was the only person for 3 blocks at one point, blocks that are usually absolutely packed. When everyone started coming back, and I lost my peaceful big city… >:[
Same here. I was alone on the 405 by LAX. It was surreal.
Oh man, I can't imagine. I live in the south. Learned to drive in Atlanta. I can't even imagine

I lamented mine already. Its value will go up ten years from now.
Laminated?
Lamented, yup
They lose their value if you laminate them. You wouldn't laminate Action Comics #1, would you?
You might lament doing it though and that's valid
Wouldn’t undamaged laminated comics be worth more than unlaminated damaged ones?
You know ... you have a point
I threw mine out long ago. I live in a deep red state, and nobody ever asked for them anyways.
I lived in a fairly liberal city (Denver) and nobody has cared at all since mid-2021. Funny thing is Covid rates have gone up and down since then, but if you didn't have it in 2021 some people acted like you were a total heathen.

The only time I was ever asked for my vaccination card was by a healthcare client at a previous gig. I've had more cards than I've had questions about it.
an obviously important step in the Illuminati plan to keep tabs on everyone.
I brought mine with me when I got the latest booster, and the pharmacist said that she hadn’t seen one of those in a long time.
Brought mine too, realized it was full, so the pharmacist offered me a new one. It only has two slots for boosters, which seems ridiculously optimistic now.
I brought mine to my booster two weeks ago, and the last spot was still empty (I couldn't get the first shot for like six months after it was available). The woman giving the shot didn't even mention it, and I forgot about it until I'd already left.
Maybe I should have asked for it and then for a free ice cream or something.

I filled mine up a while back and just use the one on my phone wallet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Gonna frame mine with the title "Free CDC Cardstock"
I'm going to still keep mine in my medical bag along with my other meds since I'm immune compromised. Just in case, etc.
I'm flying to Ireland in March for a batchelorette party and my friend was putting the tickets on her card. She asked for my covid Vax card, and I was like: do they still require that??
They don't.
