Be your own bank.

    Consumer and business credit scores are given by private companies like Equifax, not the government.

    Also, Government debt of a country which has exclusive right to print its own currency is not comparable to an individual/business who has to work for or exploit others for the same.

    Thirdly, don't be your own bank. Good chance you'll get robbed or lose your money. Real banks have the power of the entire state behind them, you don't.

      for real lol. if someone robs $250,000 from ur “own bank” (ur house) ur down a quarter million. that money is safe in a bank unless the government collapses

      but yeah its fucked that private companies get to determine whether we can buy a house or car. and libs go postal over China’s social credit system when its literally the opposite (the public gives a rating to private companies to correct their behavior)

              They use your SSN card so they can add you to thier tax records, which enables them to pay you.
              The government requires the number that it says should not be used as an id as an id for taxes.
