 Why do you think the credit score system prioritizes debt enslavement over financial stability? 
 awful system, my credit score was ruined because of medical debt. i don’t have a credit card and only use cash. i can’t even get a credit card because of all the medical debt. 
 😔 And you can’t raise your credit score without credit cards. Awful. 
 :( i know, luckily my parents have had their house paid off since 2010, and have promised to hand it down to me when they move back to iran. if it wasn’t for that, i would have zero chance to own a home and be forced into rent slavery. 
 Control  
 Credit score sucks,why am I being monitored by 3 credit companies without my consent.
It’s crazy. 
 Because I paid off my vehicle loan early and within 2 months my score dropped 30pts. That was 9 months ago and it hasn’t improved. That is fine, I can’t imagine needing any new credit for anything in my remaining years of life… 
 Drug dealers need drug addicts 
 Because debt slaves are easier to control, now be be a good little slave and pay 25% interest on your 1$ pack of chewing gum... 
 "Money printer go brrrrrr” is done via fractional reserve banking.

Every time a bell rings, an angel gets wings is a cute line from It's A Wonderful Life, but banks get a better deal.

Every time a loan is made, a bank get's new money created out of thin air.

The banks simply make more money on loans than they do on people parking their fiat it a savings account.





 
 because credit is debt 
 It’s supposedly a measure of credit worthiness. If that is true, paying off debt should positively impact your credit score, but it doesn’t. 
 A fiscally conservative person who pays off their debt and doesn't take on more debt, destroys credit which puts deflationary pressure of the Fiat system. This is harmful for the current financial system, which relies on ever increasing amounts of credit(and therefore debt). The credit scoring system exists to identify economic actors who are capable of taking increasingly larger amounts of debt(without defaulting).

 Enslave the goy.
