SKRRRRRRRRRRRT!!!!!!
So on 60 minutes the other night (that's how I know I'm getting old I've started to watch 60 minutes :wtf) there was an unfortunate group of people who have been declared dead simply by a clerical mistake at the social security office. It's ruined their lives. They can't get their money out of the banks, buy a car, a house, get on a plane and travel Or get a job. They are ghosts. So my question is what would you do? Go rogue? Fight for years to try and get someone to believe you that you really arnt dead? Rob banks? What?

Ask me about my B-1-D
I have always thought about what it would be like to wander the earth as a ghost.

increasing technology, reliant on touchscreen control interfaces ,would be problematic

Congress has abdicated their funding responsibility for the Master Death File.

By law private companies and even some federal agencies are not supposed to use the MDF when making decisions.

Guess what? Congress allows it and chooses not to fund a modernization effort. The system the MDF is created with is COBOL. There are something like 30 different state/county/local systems that feed into the MDF. Think about that. Insanity.

sorry dude. unlike him, you won't have internet. you won't be condescending to anyone outside of the sound of your own voice. even if you shout. you'll be like that proverbial tree falling in the forest - with no one around to hear. isolation. survival. could give any reasonable person a new appreciation for circumstances and people that were previously easily dismissed when it comes to surviving.

^You're talking to a guy who just took care of small kids while his wife was away, he knows a thing or two about isolation, survival, and nobody listening when he shouts.
