It's almost like the gov should replace the SSN system with something that addresses modern security concerns.
It baffles the mind the the USA doesn't have a plain old photo ID
There is, just on a state level which does nothing for a nation with 50 of the fuckers

Oh yeah, the federal identification card you can only get by... providing your social security card.
Not a federal ID, but a federal standard for State IDs. And not "only", but SocSec card is one of the several forms of ID you could use. Not required and not enough by itself.
Tell me how I can get a star ID or a passport without a Social Security card
I can’t even donate plasma without my Social Security card
