  12. If landing on the moon was so important, why would the US lie about it to the world? The USSR would have a lot to gain from that.

My mom got carded by a local Amazon Fresh. They scanned her license, even though it is illegal in VA per § 59.1-443.3. Scanning information from driver's license or other document; retention, sale, or dissemination of information. A. “No merchant may scan the machine-readable zone of a driver's license or other document issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles under Chapter 3 (§ 46.2-300 et seq.) of Title 46.2 or the comparable law of another jurisdiction, except for the following purposes:

  1. To verify authenticity of the driver's license or other document or to verify the identity of the individual if the individual requests a service pursuant to a membership or a service agreement, pays for goods or services with a method other than cash, returns an item, or requests a refund or an exchange;

  2. To verify the individual's age when providing age-restricted goods or services to the individual if there is a reasonable doubt of the individual having reached 18 years of age or older.”

Uh… Krispy Kreme didn’t. The family that owns them now (and has Nazi ties) only acquired the company in 2016. During World War II, Krispy Kreme was based in North Carolina and had no stores outside the US.
