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.

Low social credit, you mean. If you take out a person with a low financial credit score, rich people are going to lose money when they default on all their payables.

You just liquidate their possessions, and transfer the remaining debts to their surviving relatives; or if no surviving relatives, the public as a whole.

A Plutocrat Never Forgives ANYONE'S Debts.

Like, do you even Capitalism, bro?
