U.S. household registration system, why is the United States so powerful?

American Household Registration System This time I went to the United States and saw Lawrence moving again. This is his fifth move since I've known him. I met Lawrence in 1997. He has moved five times in the past 11 years, which averages out to once every two years, which is quite frequent. Americans are like this, moving at will, not caring about moving, and even loving moving. When Americans first start working, they usually rent a small house because their income is not high. When their income is higher, they rent a larger house. When they are able to afford a house, they move into a house they bought themselves. As their income increases, When you get older, sell the small house you bought and buy a bigger one; when you become more developed, move to a better house in a better community; when you get old, the house will not be left to your children, sell it, and then move to the elderly Go live your life in the apartment, spend all the US dollars on your credit card before going to heaven, and maybe even overdraft. Americans also change jobs more frequently. It is very simple for Americans to work in another city, another state, or even from the west coast to the east coast. When the ancestors of Americans first immigrated to North America from Europe, there was a famous slogan, where there is bread, there is the motherland. Modern Americans have inherited this spirit: wherever life is good, that is home. Some companies in the United States even pay moving expenses when recruiting employees from other places. There are many reasons for Americans to move. Any place with a good environment, a place with low taxes, a place with good schools, a place with a large ethnic population, or a place with many satisfactory restaurants will all become reasons for moving. It is said that the average American moves more than a dozen times in his or her lifetime. Americans love life and love their families. Wherever people go, families must move there. It is absolutely impossible to live in two places, and it is absolutely impossible to ignore family for the sake of career. The house can be changed and the family can be moved, but the husband and wife cannot separate, and the underage children cannot be separated. Americans absolutely do not understand the plight of Chinese migrant workers who only return home once a year. They think that is too inhumane. It is certain that if any authoritarian president dares to issue an order depriving Americans of their freedom of movement and forcing a household registration system similar to China's on them, Americans will definitely impeach him. If the impeachment fails, they will definitely fight another independence war. Or the War of Liberation. I put this question to Lawrence. Lawrence was disgusted by the concept of government. He said, who is in charge of whom? The government does not manage citizens, but serves them. Citizens should manage the government. Every time I move to a new place, the government or politicians who want to enter the government (people running for parliament or government officials) come to ask me, a newly arrived citizen, to manage them instead of them managing me. That's right. In the United States, no politician or official dares to think that he is the leader, superior, or manager of citizens, and no citizen will buy into someone with this consciousness. Those who want to lead and manage the people have absolutely no chance of getting involved in politics. Fields, only by serving voters honestly and respectfully can we have a chance. Every time a U.S. citizen moves to a new place, he automatically becomes a resident there, automatically possesses the right to manage the local government there - the right to vote and other political participation rights, and automatically enjoys local social welfare benefits. No application or approval is required, and no household registration procedures are required. As long as you live in that place, even if you rent a house temporarily, the local government will take the initiative to find you and ask you to exercise your rights. For example, registering voters, registering for jury candidacy, etc. During the election, the candidate's campaign team will take the initiative to send you campaign materials to seek your support and management. Lawrence told me that all levels of government in the United States obtain citizen information from the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). In the United States, almost all citizens have a driver's license. The regulations on driver's licenses in the United States are that drivers must register with the DMV every time they visit a place for more than 15 days, otherwise they will be deemed to be driving with an invalid license. Therefore, when every citizen moves, he or she will register the change of residence information with the DMV. In this way, the DMV will have detailed information on the inflow and outflow of people with driver's licenses, and the local government will also get the inflow and outflow of local residents. In the United States, a driver's license is your ID card. You need to show your driver's license when taking a domestic flight, you need to show your driver's license when staying in a hotel, and you need to show your driver's license wherever identification is required. Another source of information the U.S. government has about citizens is residents’ Social Security records. All legal residents in the United States have a Social Security card. The Social Security number (also translated as Social Security number) is unique and accompanies everyone throughout their life from birth to death.

A person's employment, salary payment, insurance payment, tax payment and all social security benefits must be based on this number. This is the basis of Americans' welfare security and the lifeblood. Every time Americans go to a new place, they have to go to the social security agency to go through the formalities for changing their residence, so that the social security department can keep in touch with them, the information sent to them can be sent to them, and good things do not miss them. Americans are quite selfish and never selfless. Their positioning of the country and government is very utilitarian. They have no ambition to build a great motherland, no grand desire to revitalize the American nation, and no dedication to sacrifice their own happiness today for the better life of future generations. So they never believed that the people needed a strong leader to dominate them and lead them into the future. They will never give their money to another group of people to do as they please in the name of paying taxes. They regard the government as an employer who has to hire some people to do things that one person cannot do. The government is hired by them to serve all citizens and seek the most realistic interests for all citizens. The government is where everyone pools their money to do things for everyone. Every citizen who contributes money and contributes not only has the right to entrust members of parliaments at all levels to review, approve and supervise how to spend money on their behalf, but they must also get back a piece of the money handed over to the government. The government repays itself in the form of social security. How is the money that citizens give to the government recorded? How do citizens receive returns? It's the record on the social security card. Therefore, Americans' mobility, job changes, income changes, tax payments, etc. are all clearly recorded at any time. No matter where you go. Driving licenses and social security cards allow for clear visibility of population movements in the world's most mobile country. Therefore, society will not lose control. But in fact, there is no chaos in the United States. The United States, where people can move freely and even like to move, is not chaotic at all. In fact, there are only three countries in the world that have a household registration system. In the vast majority of countries, people can move freely and there is no chaos in the vast majority of countries. As everyone moves to big cities, housing and commodity prices there will increase, job opportunities will decrease, and the barriers to entry will become higher and higher. Enterprises will also choose to develop in new low-cost areas, which will attract people to new areas. Another example is that no one goes to a desolate place, so the locals will naturally find ways to attract people. Nevada in the United States is mostly desert and has no resources for industrial agriculture. If you are poor, you want to change, so the law of this state allows the establishment of casinos and uses gambling as bait to develop tourism. There are two famous gambling cities in this state, Las Vegas
