    I know you’re pissed at me but that was kinda weak. I don’t think there’s anything unreasonable about saying our society is fucked up but a very different style of fucked up vs china.

    Especially considering that china sorta looked at the most fucked up parts of the credit score system and deliberately said “I want that, but more invasive and with the government running it” something like half a century later.

    Societal outcomes are worse pretty much across the board for all of those groups. See my long middle paragraph about how our whole society is fucked up.

    Every item listed on that page is a measurement indicating the end result which is inequality. Nothing on that page covers the why or the how. If Equifax is literally scoring people based on “how black a name sounds” (as with resume studies) then sure the actual scoring system is also broken. But it doesn’t say that, it says outcomes are worse and unequal. Just like every other outcome in this country.

    What the fuck is this nonsense?

    Nobody likes credit scores but it’s at least marginally financial measurements that are used for financial decisions.

    It’s regressive, but only because our society is regressive. A middle class person who overspends and doesn’t pay their bills on time is probably gonna get treated worse than a poor person who needs groceries and fails to pay their grocery bills on time, yes. But it’s still financial.

    The poor person isn’t being stopped from buying a train ticket. They might not have money to do so, but that’s a different societal fuck up.

    At least compare apples to apples.
