    As an environmental regulator in America I know first hand how company owners tend to respect nothing but their own wealth and standing. I write and enforce administrative orders and penalties to company presidents and CEOs. They’ll throw the world under the bus before taking reaponsibility.

    But during covid a lot of contracts and orders were digitally signed and not given wet signatures.

    So a lot of American company owners are trying to pull back on everything covid. One of the angles is attempting to void all contracts not physically signed with a wet signature. Completely ignoring digital signing is a (new?) tactic being used.

      I haven’t seen wet signatures for over a decade now, man, US lives in a bloody stone age.

          Important legal documents are signed with a secure digital signature issued by the government. You basically have a physical OTP generator or you’re using a government portal to generate a one off.
