The Greatest Capitalist Scam of the Century — Why Credit Scores are Screwing Us All Over
The credit score is the looming shadow that watches over all of us. If you want any form of loan, you need a credit score to back it up. Lenders that don’t care about credit scores are going to charge you high-interest rates.

My belief is that the credit score concept is the biggest capitalist scam of this century. It’s disgusting and the way it’s taken hold of society is a disgrace.
So why has the credit score changed the game?
