Outside the disinformation fantasy of the Internet the story is completely different. A person is defined in effect by someone who has a permanent address, a government issued I.D, birth certificate, social security card, and a bank account with money. If you lack any of those you are "sub citizen" status and you must go through a broken by design process to try to reacquire any of them. If you have lost most of them due to theft or otherwise no direct fault of your own you are now the same as any other "illegal citizen". You are required to prove to your own country you are a citizen. Unconstitutional and fascist it may be, that's what your politicians have done. Combine this with the general socioeconomic failure of large cities, combined with the gamified system of capital held in speculative markets, combined with social media technology that has destroyed culture - you get exactly what you'd expect. It's the system working as intended for the wealthy. There's plenty of solutions but people are comfortable to not bite the hand that feeds them, even if it means living in fear as a slave to their whims. It used to be that people were self employed. They owned their own business's. Until the rules were changed and scale became optimal. The primary solution is to nullify the rules that optimize for scale and make it optimal for individual small domestic business owners. Nullify most taxes, completely remove Medicare and other "old people" funds. The standard stuff every economist has been saying to do but the game players don't like.
