If he was fully committed to the bit, he wouldn’t have hidden his SSN from this picture.
Did he…just disappear??? 😐🫥
He’s going off the grid! This guy doesn’t have a social security number for Roy!
So what’s the next step in this brilliant plan, then?
Notify through the proper channels and with fancy legal jargon:
“I destroyed MY copy so you now have to destroy YOURS, United States government!”Notices of liability to all and sundry.

Careful Boney, you’re starting to sound like them.
Sometimes I give them benignly bad advice, like they need to submit the T86 form to the bureau of allodial titles and good governance via their sheriff’s office and it has to have a wet ink signature and a fox stamp. I have no idea what I mean by any of this but they’re almost sold on fox stamp.
This is sinister
Ripping up the social security card doesn’t actually remove the number from the system, so the sovereign citizen accomplished nothing.
Can someone explain what this is? Do Americans have documents proving you exist?
It’s a soggy piece of cardboard that “they” give you at birth and you have to hold onto it with your tiny baby hand, and then you have to keep it until you’re like 90 years old. If this soggy, easy to lose or destroy card gets lost or destroyed you have to prove to the magically animated statue of Abraham Lincoln himself that you’re American to get a replacement.
This card is explicitly not an ID card, but the only thing it ever gets used for is as an ID card.
Yea we do. Social security number card. You use those, a birth certificate, drivers license, and two pieces of reputable mail (for proof of existence and address) to do most big ticket purchases or verify yourself before cars, houses, clearances, update drivers license. Etc…etc…
Looks like that piece of paper containing an American’s social security number
I dislike anyone who uses ion like that.
That’s an actual thing? I thought it was just a typo.
ion care
You need to unionize
What a charged comment
I’m not being negative!
Are you positive?
There must be a way to get a replacement, right?
Anyway, what’s even the point of SSN? European asking.
Very easy to get a replacement, as far as things go. I’ll assume the office doesn’t require an appointment (it did during covid). Just go in, wait, talk to a clerk, explain either you never had one or lost it (I think there’s a higher charge for losing it over never having had one), pay a reasonable fee, get new card mailed to you. Out of several government things I’ve had to do, getting a card was simple.

identification for like taxes and whatnot
what do y’all have over there?
There is. I had to replace mine due to a flood.
It’s just a form of national identification number. It’s assigned at birth, and is used as a means to legally identify an individual for government purposes (taxes, benefits, acquiring licenses and other forms of identification). They exist in Europe as well, they are just called something different than SSN. Not every country uses them, though.
Not assigned “at birth,” assigned when you or your parents apply for one. That normally, these days, happens shortly after birth, but it has not always been that way, and it is not an obligation.
A DMV employee told me they’re made of denim and very hard to tear. Is that not true then?
i know that US currency is actually a textile, not paper-- it’s 25% linen and 75% cotton. not sure about social security cards, but there is precedent for using fabric and other textiles in the creation of government documents, and it’s specifically to make them more durable.
I just tested it on mine and it was surprisingly easy to tear it to shreds. I don’t think there’s any denim in there.
they are actually made to quickly degrade when exposed to the elements so if you drop it in public it will not stay around forever for someone to find
Is that why they tell you not to laminate it?
yes, among other reasons pertaining to security features that are affected by lamination
That looks remarkably fragile for something so important. Isn’t your SSN also on your passport/drivers license?
Not any more.
For the longest time my home state used SSNs as drivers license numbers. I think the federal government finally told them to stop, and years ago now we all got new randomly generated numbers on our licenses instead of SSNs.
