Sir Shawn on Nostr: SSNs are not unique to an individual. Makes sense since there’s only 9 digits ...
SSNs are not unique to an individual. Makes sense since there’s only 9 digits meaning we run out of uniques after 999,999,999 people since SSN started in 1935. Seems likely there was a rollover and instead of adding digits, they shared them.
