An example of why unnecessary proliferation of SSNs bothers me: Worker Accused of Selling Colleagues’ ID’s Online (New York Times). Incidentally:
. . . investigators seized . . . a shotgun with a silencer . . .
Is such a thing possible?!
Meanwhile: It’s a beautiful day. The rainy season gave way to spring while I wasn’t looking.

For an introvert who hates confrontation, being a crank is hard on the nerves.
Recently unemployed, I’m shopping around for medical insurance. I prefer not to continue with Aetna, because they put my So-called Social Security Number right on the card, which is an invitation to fraud if I should ever lose my wallet. People have had their bank accounts cleaned out by someone who got their SSN.

Oh dear. Tony Adragna frets about tax havens:
. . . not all activity in tax havens is questionable, but when the activity has as its primary purpose the avoidance of taxation, then we run afoul of the letter and spirit of the tax code.
I wonder how Adragna feels about emigration, which so often is nothing more than avoidance of the laws at home.
