lists are flawed and there is no easy way to fix the errors. It is not

If they fixed the dead people lists, the Democrats would never win an election in
Chicago, and elsewhere!

The problem I am talking about is when the government decides a person
who is alive is dead. That is a nightmare and very hard to fix.
Anything connected to your SS# just stops working. You can't get on a
plane, open a bank account, get a tax refund etc. Your credit score
goes to zero and you might not be able to renew your driver's license.

Just showing up and saying "I am alive" does not help.
