According to the 1974 privacy act, SSN cannot be used as an ID number - but that may have changed, because everyone tries to use it.
SSN is a number for tax purposes. Since I don't work with anyone for tax purposes other than the government, they don't need it.
And I do give false birthdays if there is no other recourse.
Still, in the age of complete data absorption by everyone - from tiny mom and pop stores to big tech and every government in between - I demand staying as private as possible.
but they DEMAND your SSN so they can collect if you fail to pay a bill. then they use the mighty power of the Dept of Treasury to just take that money from you. and it will. one way or another.
you'd think the little guy who has fallen on tough times from being laid off or a medical tragedy were as dangerous a an armed bank robber who shot 10 civilians.
Exactly.
I think I will become a "trans-illegal" and then not give a fuck anymore.
White people are going to have to start networking more.
