Same with mortgage applications and other gatekeepers. No matter how much you have your ducks in a row they will always ask for something to show they did their due diligence. It's helpful to leave out something obvious and easy to produce.
- syndicatedjelly 3y agoI don’t think that’s what gatekeeper means
- JPws_Prntr_Fngr 3y agoMakes sense to me. Is a mortgage officer not a gatekeeper of the bank's capital?
- syndicatedjelly 3y agoIs a police officer not a gatekeeper to doing whatever one pleases?
- abstractbeliefs 3y agoThat's exactly what gatekeeper means: entities that control access to something (in this case financial capital on terms suitable to buy property, but equally it can be social capital to access in-group acceptance, etc). This control of access to resources is where the name comes from, and its broader use (rather than the highly specific social use we see online) is recently exemplified in the EUs Digital Markets Bill describing large search providers (like google) and social media (facebook) as gatekeepers.
