What's the problem with a company "discriminating" poor people? The case could be made that any company providing services for money is discriminating against the poor.
- noir_lord 8y ago> What's the problem with a company "discriminating" poor people? From the point of view of a company, probably nothing in their eyes. From a societal point of view poor people already have an uneven playing field when it comes to a fair shot in life so making that worse seems like a bad idea. Unless for some reason you like a permanent underclass of people stuck where they are for some reason I guess. I personally don't, social mobility is generally a good thing (not least for the economy as a whole).
- yreg 8y agoIs Tesla evil for discriminating against the poor?
- lotsofpulp 8y agoThe proper way to discriminate is to require membership with varying and/or vague requirements to maintain plausible deniability. This is a bit more difficult to implement for regular retail type establishments, but requiring membership to the electronic banking system made it easy.
