  cries in federal country

    This is one those things that intrigues me.

    If joining a federal government, the principle implies there is the recognition there is something good to contribute for said federation but also handicaps the federation can assist in solving.

    This follows that when one member of the federation develops a solution for a problem, other members emulate it. The same way, when the federal level develops a solution for a problem, all members apply it in the exact same terms: no if, but or commas.

    Yet it seems this is never what happens when dealing with federal governance.

      What happens in practice is that any solution already developed by another member is basically taboo because the members do want to be seen as leading, not following so every member develops their own “solution” that is slightly different “just because”.

  Hah I was about to say they tried this in Portugal but a lot of agencies (especially foreign ones) simply have no capacity to deal with digital certificates.

  Hell I went to a public university a couple of years ago and they demanded I show them a stamped document proving that I’m employed.

    That’s a different beast. Private entities are still lacking on that front but catchinf on fast.
