Or consider the fact that nearly half of U.S. employers ask potential hires for their credit report, equating a good credit score with responsibility or trustworthiness.
This "creates a dangerous poverty cycle," O'Neil writes. "If you can't get a job because of your credit record, that record will likely get worse, making it even harder to work."
Employers should use what ever method they want in order to screen potential employees.
Just another liberal hand-wringing sob story.
Yes it is!
Hence the why 2,500 year old technology in Europe continues to evade 90% of Africa in the form of water plumbing.
It would appear anything to do with the human race is racist.
Misleading headline; guaranteed to make rabid racists salivate.
Then the Sun is racist for it burns light-skinned people.
CNN exists solely to advance the leftist agenda.
That is why they continually come out with these propaganda stories that attack men, white people, America, conservatives, and even common sense.
I hope when the Civil War comes, the heads of the major networks have helicopter problems and must make forced landings on my lawn.
I plan on wearing their skin as a coat, and I won’t make it easy on them.
Statesticles be’s racist!
In other words, how dare anyone use any common sense when it comes to anything? Common sense is so passe’ that we must call it racism.
So is Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Jesus Christ, The White House, Paper Plates, Cows, and the Milkman, and Snow!
Re: Credit Reports... If you can’t make good decisions with your own money, then how can the company expect you to make good decisions with theirs?
If whites would just kill themselves the world would be rainbows and skittles...
Big generalized/stereotyped markets are made up of many small niche markets. Niche markets are ideal for startups and small business.
But the small business cannot afford the lawyers and tax accountants to find the loopholes, nor the lobbyists to create special loopholes just for them.
Regulations favor big business. Corporatism and government picking winners favors big business.
Big business works best when it can operate on broad generalizations that are mostly true.
Best example is the FAIR ISAAC credit system. FAIR ISAAC scores are a broad brush that is generally true. But within a FAIR ISAAC group of the same score, there are 10% who belong in a worse group. And 10% belong in a better group.
I kept the same job, same family, same driving mileage and habits but move zip codes. My auto premium went from over $1100/mo to under $100 per month. Absolutely nothing changed in the odds of my having a claim.
Redlining of the inner city and Blacks does exist. The good, hard working honest people in the inner city have to pay for the generalizations made about their zip code, even though they are not typical of their zip code.
School Choice is an interesting example. 40% of the kids will do exactly the same with or without school choice. 50% of the kids will do better with school choice. But 10% of the kids have such bad parents and home life that they will actually do worse with school choice.
So without school choice 50% are penalized to benefit the 10%. With school choice 10% are penalized to benefit the 50%.
The same is true of healthcare. Expanding medicaid stretches the dollar (and providers) thin. Expanding medicaid benefits the working class healthy at the expense of those who are extremely needy.
The beauty of decentralization and lack of regulation is that it benefits the small people at the expense of those who can buy access to the Clinton Foundation.
Real math, real science and good English make a total racist WMD education package.
These three evils of the demonic white men make most high
school diplomas and worthless college degrees into instant unemployment diplomas/degrees.
Trump and his evil white male supporters have been promoting these educational WMDs for decades.
Vote for Illiarily dead/or alive to correct this crimes education WMDs against our youth.
Black Lives Matter is calling for a nationwide boycott of all Prime Numbers.
“If you can’t get a job because of your credit record”
An important part of culture is informing others about the lessons you’ve learned, encouraging them toward better behavior.
Don’t do stupid things that damage your credit record.
If you do, and realize it was stupid, teach your kids & others to NOT do such things.
I learned to do multivariable calculus and differential equations in college. I suppose that somehow makes me extra-racist.
Do I really need a close-sarcasm tag?
OK, so what does O’Neil conclude from all this? That companies and business stop it? Voluntarily? Or by law?
They’ll just find another way.
The better thing to do about the poor is to let the captains of industry lead their specialties without government constantly looking over their shoulders, and without passing laws based on the biggest campaign donations.
Let the economy grow and need the poor to hire and labor and let the poor become working class, and the working class to become the middle class.
That’s the ONLY way that actually works to end most poverty in the world.
Mark Twain said “There are three types of lies: Lies, Damnable Lies, and Statistics”
I would add a fourth: Liberal Talking points.
In the Beginning God derived the first function value that we came to discover as mathematics.
Reminds me of the AI internet robot that let its interaction with the world program its own thinking.
Didnt take 48 hours till it was ranting and raving and spewing racist electrons all over cyberspace.
