Post office boxes used to be pretty freewheeling, but since 2001 it takes two forms of ID. Wouldn’t want bad guys to get mail or something. Frankly I’m amazed burner phones are still a thing.

Next step: criminals will simply steal cell phones for their SIM cards.
Then: the governent will arrest/kidnap/kill innocent people who have had their phones stolen.
After that: the rest of the world will sit idly by and do nothing.

How is this guy still in power?
