The dirty little secret of a totalitarian society is that _everyone_ is an enemy of the state—no exceptions.
This is a lesson that often is only learned the hard way.
I could see it happening, but I could also see it getting hacked and deleted over and over until the government gives up.
There’s just no way the government here is competent enough.
Pay cash whenever possible.
Big Brother would like nothing better than a card system, which monitors all your purchases.
Makes government thievery, and censorship, so much easier.
Americas social credit score has always been the access to lending called uniquely a credit score. What face book thinks of me and what J P Morgan thinks of me are based on 3 years of history of a free service vs 30 years of history with real money.
China has no financial credit score per say, and is the root of their current problem set. They have 60 years of history of people working around a failed system. Until the failed system is removed whatever the frosting is does not matter.
As with all such Draconian and de humanizing litigation, there is a class of people to whom this will NEVER apply! THEY are the ones fitting the rest of us up, for this f’n social straight jacket!!
Social Credit is what the Mark of the Beast looks like. It determines whether you can buy or sell in the marketplace, whether you can work, go to school, travel, or live anything like a normal life. Kneel before your golden idol or beware the penalties.
Ah, but it’s not the government that will control your social credit score. It will be Social Media like Google, Facebook and Twitter.
Just like the government doesn’t control your financial credit score. Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion do.
For the end times ping list
They demand you love big brother.
“. . . the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. ‘ Sounds fundamentally unconstitutional to me
I don’t foresee the Republicans, should they somehow stumble into getting control of the congress, doing anything about this. The Repukes don’t stand for anything and are totally worthless. They simply refuse to defend our liberties and our rights.
...but, but, but NEVER consider a new party to replace the Gutless Old Plutocratic Party (GOP). That is sacrilegious around here. /sarcasm
We can use it to deny things to liberals.
Robert Welch was right.
I think you may be right. I've always thought the mark would have to have a moral component. This would fill the bill.
Riots in the ‘60s were over far smaller social control issues...like saying bad words at Berkeley
Now the children of the people who staged those riots want to have a database to control everyone for everything
Funny that
They don’t challenge anything that the Democrats do once it’s done and the try to compromise with them before it’s done.
Compromise with evil is still evil.
The DNC is evil.
The RNC longs to get along with them,
