Imagine having a brand so strong that rich people write think pieces framed in terms of social justice when they have trouble getting access to your credit products.
For any other credit card a wealthy couple in their shoes would have written off the credit card company as idiots and applied elsewhere.
I have no issue with the argument against unauditable credit offerings that disproportionately affect protected classes. I’m pointing out that but for the brand being Apple you’d never have heard this story.
- officemonkey 7y agoYes, the nerd conjunction of Apple Card, DHH, and twitter made this story go viral, but it illustrates a real problem. The other day I saw a headline on HN saying "top 1% now has more wealth than the middle class." Basically, the system is rigged. I'm for any story that brings this to light, short of one involving a guillotine.
