This is what leads to a sort of caste system, Because the children of people with bad social credit cannot go to good schools, they are stuck in a perpetual cycle of bad social circles which leads to bad social credit and poverty.
This just leads to a cycle of poverty and discrimination without any opportunity for people to redeem themselves.
Also reminds me of a Black mirror episode on social credit.
- sakuronto 9y agoBut the existence of high-cost private schools that, ostensibly, only the well-off can afford, already reinforces a "caste system" of sorts, no? I'm not sure how adding another dimension to this, namely social credit, could make it worse.
