Get Off the Plane: Your Social Credit Score Just Went Negative

August 30, 2019 11 Comments

China expands its system of tracking a citizen’s behavior with a social credit score, and limiting his freedoms if it goes negative.

If Capitalism in America eventually leads to the workers rising with pitchforks to demand a division of the spoils, are we doing it wrong, or is that just the natural outcome of a system that focuses only on equality of opportunity? The rise of Democratic Socialists (and their less-Democratic brethren) during the 2020 presidential cycle may signal an economic shift that seems to contain the seeds of the demise of a system which has created more food, health, leisure, and happiness than anything the Earth has seen.
