      It is one of the big lies of capitalist countries like the U.S.

      “Don’t worry [CITIZEN ID] you have rights! The constitution says you do”

      But then everyone is coerced to working for companies that are closer to miniature dictatorship kingdoms, with some of them being more powerful than “legitimate” governments.
