A funny story. I was born in 1947. I got my SS card in 1965 when I started working. One day, years later, I was working in a shop that asked for SSANs on checks. A fellow came in, wrote a check, and when I asked for his SSAN, it was one digit off mine. He'd gotten his in the same office, the same day I got mine.

My university used to use the SSN as the primary student ID number -- instead of generating a random number or simply using a sequential index. My university has also always had a _lot_ of foreign students, who did not have SSNs, so fake SSNs were generated and assigned to them. Of course it wasn't long before new students with real SSNs experienced conflicts with fake SSNs already in the database. I think it was the mid-2000-oughts when my university finally switched to generated student ID numbers.

I recently tried getting a driver's permit (in Ohio). I brought in my passport, state ID (CA state ID), and proof of Ohio residency. I wasn't able to get that driver's permit, though, because I needed my social security card. I was able to apply for a replacement card online and got the card a few days ago. It is literally just a slip of paper. Not even cardboard. Why is this slip of paper considered such an important piece of identification when it isn't supposed to be one and isn't able to do that job well! Ugh.

W2 form would have worked also instead of the social security card. That's what I used for my license because my social security card is laminated and the DMV wouldn't take it. But you had a passport already meaning you didn't need the new TSA approved license. You can use your passport to get through the TSA checkpoint when you fly.

Fun fact: if you're a twin like me, your social security numbers are most likely one digit apart. Not so fun fact: this causes a lot of problems involving your SSN because they're not so easy to identify apparently. True story: my twin had insurance quotes that soared to the thousands. When he called the company, it was because they believed my twin and I were the same person (so all our traffic infractions added up together); they were only able to separate us based on our drivers' ID. I also got a call from a credit card company, saying that I had a pending balance when it was clearly my twin's account because I, myself, did not have a credit card. So yeah, the SSN system sucks for us

You should lament your social security card: future payments are corrupted by unrelenting under adjustment where inflation is concerned. That's one reason energy is left out of the most common government inflation stats: it is accurate/resets on a rolling daily basis, and the program can't afford to keep up with real inflation. So not only is the recipient going to be underpaid, but you will be "means tested" to boot - that "income" [which is effectively just a refund of monies paid] will push any other money you come across into a higher tax bracket. Thank Bill Clinton for getting that snowball rolling, then thank Obama while you're at it: as the fed hit the nitrous on printing and distributing billions [mostly overseas to disguise the event, knowing that would come back to the stock market], the proposal put to congress at a time of concentrating the lions share of inflation into the stock market was to freeze COLA to ss recipients. In real dollar terms... that was a cut. Compare that to progs screaming about Newt planning on 4% increases vs. 7% when he was speaker and... at no time should a government program be considered a place of safety. In the event of a real emergency, bureaucracy stays while benefits get cut.

You know, I always wondered what social security cards were for and why they were so important, because honestly, I don't think my mom knows. She just always told me that it was important, but never why. And school sure as heck didn't teach me what it is, what it is for, or why it is so important, so, here I am. Learning about something so important on KZbin, like it's a fun fact.

Stop and read that a few times. Now think about what happens if any other card with a number used to ID you gets looted in your life. _yeah_

@@jixer1956 Not one single centralised one, no. Many forms are accepted as ID (driving license, passport, bank card with some photo ID, bus pass, student pass, and a type of voluntary ID card). The latter is mostly for teenagers that want to have none of the above and used for alcohol and club entry. We also have the equivalent card (National Insurance / NI card) that simply has our number on it, but is not allowed for ID as it has no government issued photo. The number stays with you for life and identifies your tax, benefit and pay status to the government. While it is important, it is not as much of a security risk as it is always used in conjunction with one of the other ID's. Nor do you ever *need* the physical card, as the number is cross-referenced on the government databases. I used it in a finance company to identify otherwise similar individuals (2 John Smiths with the same birthday, for example).

Well that's because most of the time they just call it a "Voter's ID". Which is literally just, an ID that proves you're a US citizen. It would have a photo of you, a unique number, and only be given to those who can prove their citizenship. It literally would just be a national ID card, something to prove that you are you. But, because politics, they always frame it has having to do with voting. Most of the people I know that are against it is because it would have this unique number, therefore making your votes much easier to track, and therefore potentially undermining the right to have your vote be private. It come sup pretty much every presidential election, they just don't talk about it between terms because it doesn't benefit the politics and would cost a lot of money to start a program like that.

If it helps you feel any better, here are some possible doomsday scenario that could occur without warning, that you or I can do nothing about: 1. Antibiotic resistant superbugs could show up that kill millions a year, sending us back to the days where infectious diseases was the №1 cause of death, and killed 1/5 of children under five. 2. An asteroid could destroy civilization as we know it. 3. A supervolcano could erupt, blanketing huge swathes of the sky with thick ash that blocks out the sun, leading to disruption of satellite communications and global famine, since plants can't perform photosynthesis. 4. A CME (coronal mass ejection) could destroy all electronics, leading to, at least, tens of thousands of deaths of people who were on life support, and millions of deaths from people who can't heat or cool their homes. Having your identity stolen doesn't seem so bad, right?

In Italy we have our own version of the Social Security Number (codice fiscale), and the weird part is that there are websites than can correctly calculate your "fiscal code" if you know this person's full name, date and place of birth, and sex. All information pretty easy to retrieve. Although, we don't really use it as an ID check, because - surprise surprise - we have National IDs :') This method of creating the code does have a lot of problems, because as you can imagine there are people who have the same name and are born on the same day in the same city. When you realize someone else has the same code as you, you can request a new one, but the problem is that a lot of services have a way to match your code to your sensitive information, and if you've changed it, it won't match, thereby preventing you from using some services until someone manually fixes it :/

What really makes it quintessentially US-ian is that despite not working at all like intended, if at all, it keeps being used because it so happens to be tradition and replacing it with something better inevitably triggers somebody to decry about presumed loss of liberty. That's the kind of thing that us Europeans always find so utterly baffling and simultaneously hilarious about people from the US; the tendency to cling sóó hard to your own past endeavours, even when they are immense failures, really is typical of the US and its people.

I'd argue what you described is quintessentially Eastern-European. You'd be mindblown how many people die in one year because they do their own electric work; electricians are more myth around here. Not like i know how many people die, we don't track it where I live. Although in fairness this phenomenon is in large part due to a lack of resources (mostly financial). Where I live we have a saying that essentially means "Fuck it. Good 'nough.". We all understand it's haphazard and we're all somehow fine with that... Until it breaks and than we're pissed. What I think is quintessentially American about this is along the lines of what Robert Faber said above me. Not fully understanding an issue but being afraid of change non the less, even if the change has been implemented elsewhere and society didn't collapse (Please indulge my poetic exaggeration).

How is the government the number one cause of unnatural death. I feel like that applies to the US way more if you count US troops that died in combat situations. No western European government is directly responsible for deaths. Our health regulations give most European countries a better life expectancy than the US. Here we take care of all our citizens, so the government is the number one cause of preventing death.

Winston Noble, and Americans don't? Your political system and constitution are based on European governments. You give more powers to your leader than most European nations. I would love to see some actual figures backing up your claim, because having lived in America and the Europe, I can promise you, Europeans have better health and quality of life than most Americans. I mean, how many American civilians need to be shot before some sort of gun legislation is brought in?! Most people in Europe can't even own a gun, and most will only ever see one in a museum let alone have 1 for every 8 people! Also, atleast European nations have government controlled free health care. In the UK if I get ill I'm going to a FREE hospital to get FREE treatment, doesn't matter if I'm homeless or rich we are all treated equally (yes you can pay to go private but many don't bother) Americans think you live in the greatest nation on earth, while not realising that your education and health care are way behind many nations. Oh, and your government is controlled by lobbyists paid off by big corporations, but that's besides the point.

We used to use our SSN as our college ID and it was printed right on there. That was the mid 1990's when the internet was just starting to become a thing. Now just about every school (I hope) has done away with that practice. The college ID's we had were basically laminated cards nothing like today and thinking back they were incredibly insecure even by that era's standards.

this is so odd: in the UK we have a similar thing with the National Insurance Number, but the NINo was never widely used as an identifier. That might just be because a much higher percentage of people over here have passports, but basically having access to a person's NINo doesnn't really open up any doors to you in terms of identity theft. So if feels a little bit wild from a UK perspective to see how powerful the social security number is.

In Brazil the opposite happened. Every Brazilian state has its own ID card, with photo, signature and security features called RG (Register General). But everyone also has a tax number called CPF (Fisical Person [Tax] Register). The problem is, if you move to another state, you can get another local ID with another number, which make people having multiple IDs, a mess to identification. Over time, every government agency and banks start to use the tax number to identity everyone, once it's impossible to change, and it's nationally centralised.
