I was curious about what a "world passport" is so I looked it up. You can just order one from a website for like $75. It's literally a worthless piece of paper to everyone except the idiot who paid to have it printed lol
The way their capitalism was supposed to work, where consumers end up benefitting from cheaper goods at better quality, Nd the best quality for a reasonable price. Instead, we now have crazy shit like oat milk costing $7 for a half gallon. Every single brand. Why would water and oats, two very cheap items, ever come out to $7 retail? Because these companies are all artificially keeping their prices high, together.
Crony capitalism. Same goes for airlines, any government contractor, ISPs, etc. We live in a post-capitalist society. And we are now under the thumb of tyrant capitalism.
You can get on a plane if you don't have an ID, but it's a huge hassle. They have to call DC and get them to pull your records, so it adds a few hours to your TSA experience.
That's like saying "The Monopoly money I have is very real, just not official USA currency."
If they're sitting in your drawer at home, they're a toy. The moment you try to use them as official docs, they're fake and you've at minimum committed fraud.

I'll sell you one for $70. Capitalism must breed competition.

Hey, that's hardly fair. It's also worth something to the scammer who printed and sold it. (Specifically, it's worth $75 - material costs.)

There's also a few minutes of labor going into it, and hosting costs for the web site, including domain registration.
So in total $75 - material costs - 10 minutes of labor - (total number of "passports" sold / (monthly domain cost + website hosting costs))

And you missed your flight, idiot. Good luck getting Delta to refund you when you showed up without ID.

Oh yeah, they can absolutely make that work.
When you try to pass fake documents through, they're less inclined to be helpful.

How are these docs fake? They're not fake they're just not official USA docs.

I'm glad you made it! It's good to know there's an option.

Domestic only. That shit won't fly rimshot for an international flight.

Most countries require that your passport is valid for 6 months beyond the date of your travel.
Having something that expires "in a few weeks" is also a just reason to deny entry.
