I know it’s a joke, but I feel like to be fair to both genders, each man here should arrows pointing to every woman.

Extremely reasonable concerns, I agree. I wish Biden would have passed the baton early on like he said he was going to. I honestly think that cost the Democrats the election.

But given the choice between a declining Biden surrounded by competent people or Trump surrounded by sycophants, I would choose the former.

See above reply. I should not have, mistakenly, implied democrats earnestly concerned about Bidens age are silent now. My point was to illustrate Republican hypocrisy.

I perhaps should have clarified that I meant Republicans who said they opposed Biden because of his age, who are suddenly okay with someone in his 80s running.

I certainly did not mean Democrats earnestly voicing concern of Bidens age.

Not surprisingly, the constitutionalists and “Biden is too old” ~~crowd~~ Republicans are silent.

Like birds and New Zealand, gen x doesn’t exist online.

Probably. But if I’m being generous, we’re really only talking about younger X and older millennials.

I guess my confusion comes from why you are so adamantly against specifically providing the social security card, when providing proof of employment eligibility is a legal requirement. Clearly, you have no problem providing employment eligibility, why do you have such strong feelings about providing the social security card specifically?

And while agree, the fact that other documents can be provided to prove employment eligibility means that technically providing the SS card isn’t required, I’d caution you against saying “never” in our current political environment.

We're splitting hairs here. It is a legal requirement to provide work elibility. If you provide a passport, or if you provide an ID and birth certificate, that sufficies. But many people choose ID and social security card. And yes, employers keep copies of work eligibility on file.

So I guess my question is, is your objection really to the act of asking for a lightweight cardboard card?

Editing comment for clarity.

All employers in the US need proof of two things: proof of identity, and proof of employment eligibility. A passport takes care of both.

But most people in my experience provide a state ID/driver's license (identity), and either a social security card or birth certificate (employement.)

So, you can be on your high horse all you want, but you're gonna provide the documents above if you want to work legally.

Can’t really really refute painterly proof.
