[Dolores]

President Luis Abinader announced “Validafirma,” a web platform for validation of digital documents and signatures. The platform is part of the Dominican Republic’s Digital Agenda 2030.

I think university degrees are a waste of time for so many.
An accomplished welder can make $160K.
A good car mechanic can make $100K.
A plumber and electrician $120K.
There are many professions where you can do well without college.

Exactly. That's why I never turn my nose up at a community college. They offer programs like that.

This bill is a now a reality 20 years later.
The digital signage on Gov forms and procedures is been on the works since Jorge Mera (RIP) was the Director of INDOTEL.
20 years and 6 goverments later, the DR State moves slower than a snail crossing the main road in Playa Encuentro, lol.
