    The vast majority of Americans (95%) say having a good credit score is important to them, according to the survey.

    I have yet to meet a Democrat or Republican who thinks they shouldn’t exist.

      I mean same applies to the Chinese,
      but wanting to look good in an oppressive system, does not mean you actually like to be oppressed by said system.

      There’s a difference between wanting to have good credit so that you can benefit from a garbage system and wanting that system to exist in the first place.

      Of course it is; that’s the system under which we’re living.

        you can’t really do anything about it.

        I mean denouncing the system would be a first step, yes. Like I said I never seen Democrats or Republicans claims this system shouldn’t exist.

          I’m a leftist who dislikes capitalism, but I can admit that credit scores were a step up from the way loans were done before. The old way just made it so the banks themselves decided who they wanted to issue a loan to, and that led to a lot of racism and sexism when it came to giving the loans out.

          Still, I do think we can come up with a better system than the current credit score system, and I think you have the right idea to point out it’s flaws to start the wheels turning on improving it.

      your conclusion doesn’t follow from your premise. the ability to live indoors is going to be important to people even if they think the system by which we decide who is allowed to live indoors is kinda shit.
