New York entrepreneur and Democratic 2020 candidate Andrew Yang wants to implement a system in which a government-run mobile app rewards Americans with “digital social credits” (DSCs) for good behavior.
Americans would receive DSCs under Yang’s system for things such as “participating in a town fair,” “fixing a neighbor’s appliance” or “tutoring a student,” his presidential campaign website explains.
“As individuals rack up DSCs, they would have both a permanent balance they’ve earned over their lifetime and a current balance. They could cash the points in for experiences, purchases with participating vendors, support for causes, and transfer points to others for special occasions,” Yang states on his website. “As their permanent balance gets higher, they might qualify for various perks like throwing a pitch at a local ballgame, an audience with their local Congressperson or meeting their state’s most civic-minded athlete or celebrity.”
“The most socially detached would be the most likely to ignore all of this,” he added. “But many people love rewards and feeling valued.”
Yang’s social credit plan bears some similarities to the social credit system implemented by China’s authoritarian government.
Every citizen in China is assigned a social credit score that determines whether they can buy plane or train tickets.
I like his UBI idea but social credit is too much power for the government.
Jacob Lee
This. At least UBI is objective with clear limits on scope (ie everyone gets $1000 a month and no exceptions). The government giving you a score based on your level of acceptable behavior is just begging for abuse.
Watch the basketball Americans all chimp out because it's raycis they have -1,000 points
Nolan Kelly
That's not how it will work. Niggers will get a handicap of 15,000 points while whites start at 50. Your comment here just lost you 100 points, you're at -100 now.
Bentley Jackson
another -100 if you point out the math is wrong here because Tyrone answers the hotline you call to complain about your points

>digital social credits This was presented by the Chinese government years ago and is being used as we speak in China. Fuck this Chink and his commie bullshit it will never happen.
This is just your threadly reminder that all chinks are racially self-serving insects that will do everything in their power to subvert your country and loot it for the chink motherland:
>Chinese Born New Zealand Minister found to have studied and trained Chinese spies at Chinese spy school. Kill them all or drive them out of your countries before it's too late, all Chinese immigrants are the vanguard of further Chinese colonization. The only good chink is a dead one.
Agreed. Chinks are priority 1 targets on the day of the rope. They are just as bad as the Jews.

The Democrats are just larping as Americans at this point.

read his book. basically hes saying that there arent enough people with the brains to get a Ph. D. in computer science, and coupled with automation we will see a huge increase in joblessness in the coming years.
Jaxson Powell
This is just your friendly reminder that Chinks are working with the Jews to subvert the west.
That's absurd. Most programming, architecture and design can definitely be done by your average 100 IQ slump with enough training and time spent learning processes. Is designing tools really that hard?
Jayden Morgan
His party also supports unregulated illegal immigration from third world countries that will be a part of that growing group. He’s full of shit.
Easton Bailey
scripting is not hard but that too will become automated eventually. there can only be so many technicians who monitor and service the machines. it wont be some guy with an associates degree, either.
Matthew Adams
reject industrial society
Juan Robinson
And that's what makes this methods of social control so insidious.
Fuck this chink and fuck you, shill.
Anthony Williams
Yeah! Let’s implement chinas social credit score in the US! No, how about government get the fuck out.
