The US government already uses a clearing house service, id.me, for it’s own verification systems. Why is this not used for this purpose as well instead of forcing the site owners to collect and protect that data? It’s stupid and unnecessary. There is literally already a system in place that they aren’t even considering using.

I use mine to clear grass from the driveways (my neighbors more than mine since I don’t care that much) and to blow leaves out of my gutters. As for blowing an entire yard full of leaves into neat little piles, hell no!. I’ve got better things to do with my time. I just keep mulching blades on my mower and grind the leaves up. Better for the lawn anyway.
