reddit is the most easily-astroturfable social media site and thats the secret to its success imo

NPR's Planet Money did a piece on China's upcoming Social Credit system, which actually gave a justification for it: Just like a credit score systems outside of china, let people know if you're likely to pay if you take out a loan, and maybe also if you're selling real eggs.

Of course it's also rife with opportunities for abuse, and will 100% also be used to suppress dissidents and oppress ethnicities. They interviewed a guy in the piece who got unpersoned because of going bankrupt and is no longer allowed to use high-speed transport.

I mean, credit scores are also dumb and bad and a symptom of a society deep up it's own rear end

fwiw when i first started stacking shelves at 14, i joined a union. turned out to be a good call cause i got fired illegally before i even turned 16 for asking questions about missing overtime. union had my back tho & i got what i was owed plus a tiny settlement on top. i guess the corp shuffled off my lovely boss somewhere else, he was gone from my town anyway.

at that time i definitely hadnt paid enough dues to get hours of lawyer representation & a settlement on top, i was in the plus right off.

now, more than 20 years later, ive paid off that balance so many times over that it cant be counted, and always my reason is: what if some other kid is in the same situation

Union dues as lovely boss insurance?
