Aren't we fingerprinted, thrown into the feds system, and labeled with a social and birth certificate from the very get go?

I mean heading out more.personal data is bad but if you are in the U.S. isn't there a system already in place?

DNA is different. My fingerprints are nothing like my family's fingerprints. Our DNA is very similar.

If your sister does 23 and me, that company, law enforcement, and unknown organizations in the future will all have most of your DNA without your consent.

Are they fingerprinting babies these days?

They didn't do that or assign SSNs when I was born.

My dad had to apply to get my SSN at some point when I was like 6-8 years old to continue claiming me as a dependent on his taxes.

Granted, that was over 40 years ago but I don't remember any of that happening when my 19 year old was born either (except for the birth certificate).

Must've not yet been a tax requirement when I was a young whippersnapper. Didn't get a SS# until it was needed for my first job at 9, in the coal mines.

I didn't get my first W2 job until 13... Lol .. maybe we're a few years apart.

Still feels like I'm from a whole different planet than a lot of the people online these days.
