Trump’s executive order on voting rights. I may be misinterpreting this (correct me please if I am), but it sure sounds like you won’t be allowed to vote if you didn’t opt for a “RealID” version of your license. A regular driver’s license contains no information regarding citizenship status, at least in my state, so it wouldn’t count. A lot of low income people in rural America have skipped getting a “RealID” because it’s more expensive. If this order goes thru, that decision may cost them their right to vote. This could disenfranchise millions of low income voters.

It’s not a lifetime doc, it needs to get replaced every 10 years.

How much vote tax is acceptable? You say $200 every 10 years is fine. Would $1000 every ten years also be fine? $10,000? Where’s the limit?
According to about a century of court descisions, no poll tax is constitutional as a voting requirement.
And yet one is being introduced - almost like precedence doesn’t matter anymore.
Burgers are like $15 now

It is a once-per-10-years spend. The renewal fee is the same. I’m not sure about RealID-complient ID prices since that all happened after I left the US.
Americans having access to healthful food and time to cook when working two jobs is a whole other thing (this disproportionally impacts people of lower income). Also, as I mentioned in another reply, trying to get all of the documents together to do this and the time and transportation to do it (remember: public transit is absolute shit, if even available, in a lot of the US) is a whole other problem.
