Exactly. 100% fair, because that poor victim of victimhood will have more time to spend on the top of the list making more money. That poor victimized victim's career will be worth years (sometimes decades) more than the older people in their class.

Its by far more fair than the current system. Ageism lawsuits are fake news; this has been and continues to be the way places do it, so its obviously not a legal issue that matters in the real world (internet fantasy world notwithstanding).

A sensible middle ground could be to base it on who interviewed first. For those on the same day, use a random number generator app. But SSN is asinine.
