Maybe I have never understood to the actual/literal meaning of run around.
Per the googles it means awkward or evasive responses. But a literal interpretation might mean “they kept telling us to talk to different people, research different issues, jump through hoops and then they move the goal post”.

I’d say either works, but both in combination for the ultimate runaround.
What they probably mean is they’re trying to get a passport for their child and the passport office has told them that that’s no problem at all. In fact, all they need is a copy of the child’s birth certificate.
That poor baby is going to end up getting raised in secret in the basement or something… Why do these people have to make their kids suffer for this nonsense? Even if that kid has a quasi normal childhood, having no SSN means they won’t be able to do almost anything as an adult
I started needing my SSN card in elementary school so I could have a savings account at a bank instead of like burying money in the yard. Can you even get health insurance without SSN?
I know ITINumbers are a thing for people who can’t get a SSN to help with taxes. I have no idea if a US born person without documents can get one though.
I think the lack of birth certificate is the bigger problem. There are in place processes for getting a social security number as an adult. I don’t know about birth certificates though.
Also, don’t they believe the government sets aside millions of dollars for every child born that the child supposedly would have access to? By their own logic, aren’t they just depriving their children of millions of dollars they would eventually be able to withdraw from using magic words?
I’d say grub is having trouble with your hardware (mainboard or disk maybe).
You could try to update your mainboard’s firmware, or install another bootloader (or maybe just a newer version of grub). I’m not sure what the easiest way to get a different bootloader is. I don’t think Debian’s installer offers anything besides grub. Maybe other people can point to a distro where installing something other than grub is easy.
Because switching out the bootloader on an unbootable system (i.e. not from the installer) is going to be whole pain in the butt involving booting into a live usb, mounting and chrooting and god knows what.
Soylent Green is a 1973 American dystopian thriller film directed by Richard Fleischer, and starring Charlton Heston, Leigh Taylor-Young, and Edward G. Robinson in his final film role. It is loosely based on the 1966 science-fiction novel Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison, with a plot that combines elements of science fiction and a police procedural. The story follows a murder investigation in a dystopian future of dying oceans and year-round humidity caused by the greenhouse effect, with the resulting pollution, depleted resources, poverty, and overpopulation.[2][3] In 1973, it won the Nebula Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film.
