- Poor people have less access to resources
- without an ID you can't buy certain scheduled subtstances e.g. alcohol, nicotine
	- while these substances are unhealthy, limiting their access is still kinda cringe imo, but I'm not exactly offering any solutions to fix it
	- An ID costs money and is [[fiscally restrictive]] to those who can't afford it
		- there exists programs which help pay for these things but they aren't readily available/advertised
	- in order to gain access to [[financial services]] the user must enlist the help of their friends or resort to obtaining false documentation
- certain kinds of [[digital instruments]] are limited in their accessibility according to their classification
	- [[cashapp]]/[[venmo]] cards and other cards classified as "prepaid" don't allow you to transfer money on sites that might be considered fiscally risky.
		- these cards are often used as the primary bank and debit card of lower income people. limiting their access because of their status is categorically discriminatory
		- examples
			- crypto
			- gaming
