@briankrebs@infosec.exchange I'm also mystified why they didn't just extend the capabilities of login.gov to cover the "check their driver's license" aspects of ID.me, and keep the entire thing in house.
login.gov's design and UX is thoughtfully, expertly executed, is vastly superior to ID.me, and is already under .gov and championed by 18F.
But instead of pushing login.gov everywhere (which was the orignal plan), ID.me materialized and pushed its way into IRS and pay.gov in a way that seemed weirdly pre-emptive of the entire login.gov effort.

@tychotithonus@infosec.exchange @briankrebs@infosec.exchange You can't have the government in housing work when there are so many private contractors that can do it for at least 20% more, thats communism (this is sarcastic but it does seem to be how it works for a lot of things)
