You know, I almost posted that it specifically says on the back "Not to be used for ID", because I remember that on mine. Looked online to be sure I was right, and couldn't find it, so I didn't post it I had no idea that they removed that. It's not like they changed function!
They did start randomizing the numbers though, so the first 3 aren’t based off of the area you were born. |

Instead of new SSNs, how about we maybe the number less risky in general? It should never have served as a "secret". Authenticating someone needs more than some account number. SSN should be more of a "username", not a password.

Thanks DOGE! Jesus, trump, how could you be so fucking stupid and uncaring? You have done nothing more than shove the monopoly board of america off of the table in a big tantrum because you were losing. Don't forget, America made you, America can bring you down.

Say it with me! A 👏 social 👏 security 👏 number 👏 is 👏 NOT 👏 a 👏 valid 👏 identity 👏 verification 👏 method. The idea that all SSNs should be changed is dumb. The fix is to get dumb people to stop using it as an identity verification method. |

And now you have keyed in on why it never changes…the people responsible are never held accountable, so why would they do anything differently? |

Y'all won your right to vote once, you can do it again.
Yep - I've already been bugging my grandma to get a passport so that she will be able to vote if SAVE act passes (she changed her name when she married, but doesn't have a passport since she's never left the country). Gotta avoid doomerism and make the fascists fight for every inch we can. |

@Cnote5 Or we could criminalize retention of any and all personally identifying information, and enforce that on everyone from Google to dark web site admins.I suggest shuttering business models that require such collection, like AdSense and credit check companies. |

I like that idea. |
