When I see the word "score", it reminds me of the CCP social scoring system.


Weird... when I see something done by US-Based capitalist and attributed to communists half a world away, it makes me think of the Powell Memo.


That is weird, the US didn't ask the CCP to invent social scoring.


I mean -also- weird to claim that the CCP invented scoring folks, but even if they did, it'd be hella weird to think that somehow they helped a US local power company implement it...

Look, I get that "CCP Bad". It's just always wild to see folks try and make that case when something has literally nothing to do with it, especially while there are plenty of pretty horrific and material mechanisms in play without pretending that the big-O Other is to blame.
