SOVEREIGN MAN: Consumers live and die by this ‘FICO score’. A high FICO score means that it’s easy to obtain loans at lower interest rates. And a bad FICO score (in theory) means that you have a history of not paying your debts… hence making it difficult to obtain loans.
EARTH CUSTODIANS: yes the story goes like that, but it is even more mind boggling because when the US will lose its creditworthiness, even those with a good score will be hit. Credit rating agencies are a scam ultimately. Any system that promotes such a framework must be abolished.
It is like saying that corporations have the right to sell "cancer ridden processed foods" because people are ignorant about what they eat. And yes, amazingly many think like this. Because the market also offers "organic produces", which are more expensive, so that the uninformed clients will most likely choose according to their wallets first and buy low quality produces. It is called free-market!
Lack of money drives people to neglect their health. If an individual cannot spend $100 weekly on organic food, to bad for him or her. If only those who earn more can afford better have more chance to make it, we do NOT deserve to survive, as a whole, as a civilization because it is like condoning one's own annihilation wilfully. This is not what the word civilization means.
So FICO decided that they would reinvent the way they calculate the scores– giving a big boost to people with bad credit. Virtually overnight, people who have a history of not paying their bills will immediately be deemed creditworthy.
Yes, that is how far the system doomed is, completely desperate to squeeze up the "Life Force" wherever possible.
The system is tearing to its end and they circle like vultures to grab the last bits before it all crumbles down, and the implementation of UBI, which will keep the majority in a state of poverty anyway.
CNN Money welcomed it with the optimistic headline: “New credit score could help millions.” https://money.cnn.com/2013/03/11/pf/credit-score/index.html
This company is deliberately lowering its standards and pretending that people with a terrible credit history are actually top quality borrowers. Gee where have we seen this before? Oh that’s right… just before the massive financial crisis ten years ago! It’s genius! ... Everyone was in on it. The big ratings agencies like S&P and Moody’s all played along. Even the federal government gave its seal of approval to this ridiculous charade.
Debt ponzi is legal. Of course, many who do not have any financial preoccupations, 20% of population, would recommend to not go into debts in the first place. Though as a matter of fact, if the majority was avoiding debt, these 20% wouldn't be financially comfortable as wealth extracts its power from people's borrowing. How cruel is this?
The economy has always meant debt and how big the governments' credit card is. A world currency status means a bigger credit line. The biggest is the credit card of a nation, the strongest its currency... what is wrong with this picture?
Technically the West is as poor as any 3rd world country. More credit means more purchasing power, along with the right to impose slave wages upon the poorest nations. This is monetary barbary!
And each year it gets worse. The government’s own projections show the debt only increasing– they have no chance of paying it off.Even in the private sector, most corporations aren’t much better off. Not including banks, companies in the US have around $7 trillion in total debt.Go figure, that’s the highest amount on record. Ever.More than 40% of all corporate debt is rated just one notch above ‘junk’ status. And a full 14% of companies in the S&P 500 don’t even generate enough revenue to make interest payments.
EC: You will not hear this on TV... yes, you read well: * In the US, 22% of nonfinancial corporate debt outstanding comprises “junk” bonds from speculative-grade issuers, and another 40% are rated BBB, just one notch above junk... and here is another link: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/06/are-we-in-a-corporate-debt-bubble
Let's repeat that: along with skyrocketing corporate buybacks, household debt, housing and car bubbles, junk is definitely the norm on world stock exchanges.
Centralization is a grand failure by design of course. Indeed, time to invent decentralization, with real local contribution.
According to a recent study published by the Federal Reserve, 40% of adults don’t have enough money to cover a $400 emergency expense like a medical bill or flat tire. And 21% of Americans have ZERO savings. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/22/fed-survey-40-percent-of-adults-cant-cover-400-emergency-expense.html
Living beyond one's means has ruined society and the environment.
Some still call this failure, the market forces of capitalism. There are no market forces. The failure is built in. Only millionaires and billionaires are safe in the face of what is coming our way.

Poverty isn't a lack of character; it's a lack of cash | Rutger Bregman
EC: In the video below, the speaker asserts that the state of poverty and scarcity lower the IQ BY 14 points. Indeed we can see that with the cartelization of the world perpetuating poverty with its slave wages. The systems pressures the majority into making dumb decisions. Laughable, Bregman goes on saying that poverty is not a lack of knowledge. Here he clearly stands out as being paid by corporations to say this. The same corporations behind the agenda of Universal Basic Income... listen for yourself. So what is insidious here is that Bregman uses the IQ poverty data, a half-truth, to justify the concept.

Debt is the driving force . That's why 99% of the world population jump into a rat race(9-5 duty) driven by monopoly system.

I want to recommend a book. It convinced me that a money-free world is the future.

your Link seems to be pro-AI t first sight though. My blog entirely supports automation and robotics but AI, self improving machines will destroy humanity and nature
I was more influenced by the economic system described in the book. Not the part about AI.
gotcha... thanks for sharing, will take a look it it this week yet

Do not miss the last post from @steemitboard:
Here is an idea. If you don't borrow money, you really don't give a shit what your FICO score is.
DEBTISM = WEALTH/POWER TRANSFER..... go tell your clients to stay out of debt and they will STOP buying from you. Go tell that the gov and corporations. The system is designed to fail. The failure is built in.
This is the largest debt ponzi ever in human history that has remained undressed because people like you dont care about other people's economic suffering and slave wages (selfishness) and think that staying out of debt is the solution. And you do nothing to help justice prevail. You keep defending the system no matter what BECAUSE YOU ARE IN DENIAL OF THE LIE WE LIVE IN.
Don't use their system. Don't go into debt and you have no problems. You will be able to improve your life very nicely if you don't go into debt. Debt is bad.
Money is not debt. Money is a commodity that is used to measure the value of other commodities.
Fiat money substitute is debt. So fiat is bad. Money has existed long before fiat government paper money was invented. Don't engage in the fiat/debt system unless you are sure you will gain from it.
You have this preoccupation with control. You seem very angry that you have none. Start saving and investing your earnings and your life will become better. I promise.
At least now you are admitting that money is a tool. It can be used for good, or it can be used for evil. In the free market economy, we are all moral agents. How we decide to use our money has moral and real consequences. You can use your money for good and improve you and your loved ones lives, or you can use it for evil, as some do. The choice, as always, is up to you.
I have always said that monetarism is a tool for control. Money has no value, we are the labor/commodities. As much as the planet. And that is why both are hostages, Humanity and nature, with leverage.
the choice is up to humanity now... give me a break, your business depends on people's ability to borrow... and the system is coming down for sure. No if but when.
The failure of the system is built in and in no way I am going to do like you, turning a blind eye to a crime against humanity. You have countless of times supported corporate abuses on this blog, arguing that it is peoples' fault. So you do not care about the whole planet going into debt by design.
You hate the words "by design" and "conspiracy" because you prefer to think that you made it alone, but even if you have no debt, the fact is that you made it because profiting from boom and bust cycle deception.... it is all up to you??? nope thanks to central banks and corporate earnings shenanigans
You are really not worth my time anymore, I am moving on. You gave me enough insight was why darwinism , exploitation by fittest, must go.
So send me all your steem. :-D
