You say old folk shouldn't need a QR code to prove they exist and you're right - nobody should have to be forced into being merely a string of binary numbers or whatever. However, I reckon quite a few "people" who don't exist have digital IDs and QR codes all around the world - it's a scheme pretty much designed for crooks isn't it? You don't have to prove you physically exist, just that you exist in a computer system. I bet there are many claimants and benefit recipients around Europe getting free money whilst not actually physically existing. Politicians are the dumbest dumb people around.
