The US government is a feckless facade, the US is a corporation run economic zone. The nice thing about being corporate run is that the rulers are unelected and unaccountable!
"Don't worry! I'm from the government and I'm here to ~~help~~ identify you to everyone else on the planet."
That's no better, and in many ways far worse, than the corpos doing it.
