> We already live in social credit but I fear the ones maintained by companies might be better for the consumer. Seems to me to be dependent on how the incentives line up. A credit bureau WANTS you to part with any money you might have for a car. So it works out when they control the issuance of your loan. But would you want the NRA to control the social credit system regulating a firearm purchase? | ||

> But would you want the NRA to control the social credit system regulating a firearm purchase? I prefer that to Chase controlling it: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/19617/00019768782300... (the link details an instance in which Chase was alleged to have debanked a bipartisan, multireligious charity headed by a former U.S. governor, senator and ambassador). The NRA would probably let me buy the gun, after all! | ||

Yes… If you read the comment, you’d notice that there were no loans involved whatsoever. If you can’t rent or buy a car without a credit score, you should only be allowed to buy a gun until you have proven that you’re a trusted member of the society. | ||
