If all those things happen to you to the effect that you need to replace your card TEN fucking times then you have much bigger issues than your need for a useless card.
It’s not useless, unless you have a passport you are required to have a SS card for employment; and yes some people have bad fortune. In failed states like the US there’s no real safety net so all additional pointless barriers hurt extra worse for those few percent that are extra unfortunate.
What are you doing that requires you to replace your card more than 10 times?
Flushing it down the toilet, apparently.
Homelessness, house fires, theft, things that are only going to be more common over time?
