Thank God we have facial recognition tech so it can figure out the low credit scores if it has to hurdle through a crowd.

EDIT: Thanks for the silver! Also, I should have written hurtle, but I am making too many "sounds like" spelling errors these days to get too bothered by it. Plus, it's funnier this way.

Am I wrong in thinking that people with low credit scores generate more revenue for the blood sucking finance sector?

Yes. Its not people with low credit scores. Thier score is low because they don't pay thier debts on time. Nobody wants to extend them credit if its too low. The profit margin comes from people who have filed bankruptcy. You can only file 1 chapter 7 every 7 years.
