Isn't the American banking system rigged in such a way your credit score is actually better if you get a loan?

My credit score's biggest down grade, based on my credit report, is not having enough credit cards. It counts store credit cards too, which gives me 3 cards total. The report recommended I kick it up 7.

If you get a loan then proceed to slowly pay it off over the duration. If you take out a loan then immediately pay it back that's actually worse for your credit.

How the gently caress does this even work, like I know that you can "grind" your score by demonstrating an interest in buying a lot and an ability to pay it off, but I always figured that meant you got one credit card, paid it off immediately, and accepted the limit increases when they got offered. So like, I've just got the one card, and it's been enough to pass a credit check for a rent-stabilized apartment in Manhattan. Is this poo poo like, an option that's only available to me because I got super lucky in avoiding any student debt or such, and other folks have to go to plan B and get seven loving cards?

Oh I don't know, I have decent credit, get great interest rates on the few loans I've taken out (loving wedding expenses). It was just the "do this to improve your credit" recommendation my credit report had. I was so confused by it too.
you'd imagine not extending your credit all over town would be preferable, but I guess not!

They probably were suggesting more cards for you because you'll have relatively low initial available credit on each one, so all together it will give you a significant enough increase in available credit. Of course, then you run into the issue of having accounts that are too recent, which seems to also pull down your credit. 7 is probably the magic number where the bonus from available credit outweighs the drag from new accounts.

This is all probably going to be the base plot point of Ben Affleck's movie The Accountant later this year.

You can have a high credit score and still get turned down for loans/get lovely rates due to sparse credit history.

Sure, you can go get a good score by being responsible. But it's faster and more American to just do a bunch of dumb poo poo that pumps your score quick before eventually coming back to bite you in the rear end.

Charles Roven's role as producer for the DCEU is "evolving" says The Hollywood Reporter

quote:

Charles Roven, the veteran producer who has worked on every DC Comics movie at Warner Bros. since 2005’s Batman Begins, is no longer producing certain DC movies, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

Talks are underway to have Roven — who was a producer on Zack Snyder's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, as well as the recently completed Suicide Squad, next year's Wonder Woman and Justice League — segue to a different role going forward, likely that of an executive producer who is not involved in day-to-day production. However, he potentially could continue to be a producer on some sequels to the movies he's currently producing.

The extent of Roven's involvement, and which titles he would work on, is "evolving," according to multiple sources, who also stress that no final decisions have been made.

"Roven is a key member of not only the DC slate but of the Warner Bros. family," says a studio spokesman.

Roven, an experienced producer whose career dates back to the 1980s, has a producer credit on the three Batman movies directed by Christopher Nolan and 2013’s Man of Steel. He also is a producer on Suicide Squad, which Warners hopes will re-energize its DC movies when it opens in August; Wonder Woman, which is set to be released in June 2017; and Justice League, scheduled for November 2017.

Roven has established himself as a savvy player who knows how to manage the armies it takes to make modern, big-budget, visual effects-heavy tentpoles. But he was part of the unofficial brain trust with Snyder on the DC movies, an approach Warners seems to be rethinking in the wake of BvS's less than stellar performance.

One reason for the shift in thinking is that Warner Bros. wants to ramp up the number of DC productions, and sources say it would be physically impossible for one man to handle pre-, post- and production on multiple movies in locations ranging from Australia to Los Angeles to Louisiana to London.

Roven was slated to be a producer on The Flash and Aquaman, two DC films that have yet to go into production and could end up shooting on opposite ends of the planet. Sources tell THR he will no longer serve in that capacity on those films.

Roven remains on set for Justice League: Part 1, currently shooting in London, although Warners now has sent Berg to also oversee the day-to-day production of that movie.

There's also rumors from a random site that WB is so confident in Suicide Squad that is considering multiple spinoffs with its characters like the Joker and Captain Boomerang.

A Captain Boomerang movie should be Shoot 'Em Up but with boomerangs. Boomerangs should solve all problems he faces. Also instead of carrots, he will drink beer all the time and be increasingly wasted as the story progresses.

There was already zero chance we weren't going to see a significant amount more of Leto Joker. At the minimum in the Batfleck movie but likely even if they did a Harley Quinn spin-off as well. They didn't cast Leto as Joker and haven't been putting him front and center for a supporting role in Suicide Squad, if they are doing a shared film universe Joker is going to be their Loki but even more prominent.

Much of the American economy runs on the basis that everyone is in debt to each other. Finances are such that if a large enough chunk of people start being responsible with their money than money stops changing hands between banks, lenders, and debt collectors, which could cause a significant market crash.

On the other hand, all shell games have an expiration date, and sooner or later no one can repay what they owe, which is how the financial crisis of 2008 happened, and the money stopped changing hands anyway.
