And it determines where you can live, what jobs tou can hold, and wheree your kids can go to school. The system that was developed immediately aftyer the federal government said you can't discriminate on race is definitely fair.
Didnβt say it was fair or good.
How? Wealth determines that, not your loan repayment history. You can be barely making ends meet (and therefore very limited in the above stuff) with a perfect credit score, and a millionaire (and therefore practically unlimited in the above stuff) with a shitty one, or none at all if you inherited enough wealth that you never had to take any loans.
You are not gonna believe where the majority of the wealth of the majority of USA residents comes from.
Also can't look at credit score system without loan system (they are linked by default) - and loan-worthiness cames from not only paychecks, but also where (which street/neighborhood) you currently live, you job history, criminal convictions, etc.
It does what the West says the Chinese social credit system is doing tho the later isn't that consequential & focuses on convictions.
And rich people (millionaires aren't rich anymore, just the last thrashes of a middle class) don't need a credit score at all, they all take out business loans, not personal loans.
The credit score system wasn't invented to oppress the rich.
