well zuck is gonna be pissed it wasn't him....
Don't worry, I'm sure Facebook's data is in that database as well
It becomes funny when you realize what China has in comparison.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System
In 2019, the central government voiced dissatisfaction with pilot cities experimenting with social credit scores. It issued guidelines clarifying that citizens could not be punished for having low scores and that punishments should only be limited to legally defined crimes and civil infractions. As a result, pilot cities either discontinued their point-based systems or restricted them to voluntary participation with no major consequences for having low scores.[4][7] According to a February 2022 report by the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS), a social credit "score" is a myth as there is "no score that dictates citizen's place in society".
That this is how the us gets a national registry is so hilariously fitting.
This is a beauracracy to purge Americans.
So basically the Americans get Chinese-Style authoritarianism, but without the prosperity
yeah all the worst parts without any of the benefits, like education or healthcare
Yes exactly
Competition for places in universities and even good doctors in China is crazy, or so I've heard. In general it's a "dog eat dog" society much more than the US one, despite common misconceptions about both.
I dunno what "prosperity" they mean, the ability to actually start and finish projects is spectacular for China, yes. That's why western nations are trying to hurt Chinese logistics, attacking their sources of raw materials, markets and routes. But the average Chinese man does not yet have an easier life than the average US-American.
if you take averages with the ungodly wealth disparity you will make faulty conclusions. Americans don't go to the doctor unless they're pretty sure they're dying.
I've seen someone break their leg and beg people around them not to call an ambulance because apparently emergency is also not only paid but also obscenely expensive. ask Americans about affordable healthcare, affordable education, affordable housing... or affordable eggs.
I am originally from the States but moved to Australia.
Before I moved away I lived in a bible belt state that was one of the 18 US states that have a "tipped minimum wage" of $2.13 an hour. In those states if you have a job that earns tips you get paid $2.13 an hour, and your employer is supposed to match that wage to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
However you can imagine if you are one of the lucky ones who has a job in the only restaurant in town, that asking your boss for those missing wages after a slow night is not going to get you anything but fired. There are dozens of other desperate people willing to take your place in a heartbeat.
I find a lot of people aren't aware of the situation for large swathes of the US. The amount of people who are homeless or hungry or sick with no help is astronomical for a "first world country".
What I find interesting is that after a cursory google search it would appear that China indeed has minimum wages, and those are interestingly not far off that $2.13 an hour.
https://www.china-briefing.com/news/minimum-wages-china/
The lowest hourly minimum wage in a province I could find was 16.5 RMB which works out to $2.30 an hour.
Now there are of course nuances here, like those jobs in China not being tipped, the cost of living, healthcare, etc.
I do think that things in the States are becoming more dire than most realise, and things in China have been steadily getting better.
In any case I feel very privileged to live in Australia and raise my children here.
Hey, we had a whole Orville episode on how this was a shit plan. The US Media trashed China for this plan.
yeah the Nazi shit snuck into this meme with the "kosher tier" shit on the text of the phone is gonna be a no from me dogg. Israel loves antisemitism actually. It would be a good idea to actually fight antisemitism and help Jewish people everywhere feel safe so they don't buy into Israeli BS telling them they're only safe there.
Huh?
Hey Iran, if you're listening, and you're looking for a soft target to add to your retaliation list for the recent attack...well while you probably can't break into the White House, something tells me Palantir's offices are a lot less heavily defended...They also do a lot of intelligence work, so they're a valid military target.
So what have you done for Iran's defense to ask for their assistance? Do your own work.
Hi, im potential threat #3EF728.
Anyone who would use this metric to categorize me in the first place is inherently a threat to me.
Figure that one out.
Hello, potential threat CSS lime green
Yeah. You're not rich so you don't matter.
Ok, but you dont need a database to see my signature look features velcro addias sandals and a t-shirt with a hole in the pit.
I didnβt remember emigrating to China.
Damn, this dude has to pick the shittiest aspects of every other country and implement them. But even the shitty countries have socialized health care and things like paid maternal leave. Does he pick those features? Of course not.
Nobody here in China knows wtf a social credit score is. Also the healthcare is less socialized than your average European country, but they do take measures to keep costs down.
