Reports today that ALL have been stolen.

Under English common law you could assume any identity you
wanted as long as it wasn't fraudulent.
Too easy to commit fraud/theft nowadays ... sorry.
In 1700 it was all hard money and pigs and turnips.
So "identiy theft" is purely a socialist figment
This is why immigrants could easily Americanise
their names in the 1800s but cannot do so today
For a libertarian, idenity means slavery
To a point ... but it also helps keep you
from becoming someones slave. Like many
things, a two-edged sword.
IF all SS numbers HAVE been stolen ... shit,
they HAVE to issue EVERYONE entirely new
numbers. That'll be a mess - but then govt
made said numbers too easy to steal .....
Hey, how many databases/forms INSIST on the
current SS number format ? Maybe they could
just SCRAMBLE the numbers ... or, how many
un-used numbers ARE there ???
