SSNs didn’t always have the super-secret status they do now. When I was in college, they used SSNs as student IDs. It was printed right on all my grade reports. Now, the US government explicitly advised, even back then, not to use SSNs as general identification. But everyone did.

Ah, learn more about the American system every day.

And “glowie”? Really? What are you, twelve?

If a twelve year old is using far-right anti-establishment rhetoric, I would be very concerned.
