I remember an interview with him a few months ago when he was first sounding the alarm. Absolutely insane that our government has not only allowed this to happen, but has facilitated it.
- It plainly is a terrorist takeover, not the government.
  Governments govern. That's not what any of this going on now is.
  
  The word of the day is "autocoup".
"the government could be responsible for re-issuing every American a new Social Security number" This might be a motivation to keep fucking up: simply slow walk or trash replacements for anyone who doesn't bow down to Trump, so they can't file taxes, access benefits, or any other processes that require a valid SSN.
- Sounds like a reason to pitch an expensive replacement based on Blockchain, and enrich one of the oligarchs. Maybe double dip with the age verification thing, so the government really knows who is logged in..
  
  Hm. One of the rare actual possible uses of a blockchain.
  It can certainly fuck off in the scenario though.
- How about we rework the system to need more than a number to steal an ID
We know that’s what happened. The DOGE twitler youth aren’t super geniuses, they’re incels on the spectrum with approved slavish opinions of Musk. This was inevitable.
