Tldr: People were concerned that banks which are critical to most institutions could decide to deny service to those they disfavoured resulting in certain groups effectively being practically outlawed by a collective of private banks.
That already happens with credit cards and certain online businesses, though. E.g. …yahoo.com/…/pornhub-crackdown-credit-card-compan… (from 2020 but there are other instances of it happening with sites like Backpage)
Not high enough percent yet. And sadly where I live (on the other side of the states), I see no less than 5-10 teslas on the road just driving 5 miles.
Fuck Musk. But tbh it’s not a huge drop, and there aren’t an infinite number of people, so the number is going to drop naturally. It’s like everyone already has one who wants one. There’s also more competitors for EVs nowadays, which is a good thing.
A few years ago, a friend was telling me about how much access to the financial system is a problem for (legal) sex workers. I wonder if this law protects them too.
It looks like it might to me unless there’s a quantitative, impartial, and risk based reason or a “rating, scoring, analysis, tabulation, or action that considers a social credit score” the decision to deny them credit would be illegal for my understanding. Unless there’s some justifiable monetary reason for them to deny service legal sex workers should be covered.
The review found that local police ignored evidence that directly pointed to one of their own officers - Michael Holman – who later went to prison for another crime and died in 2015.
Holman’s truck was seen in the area the day of the murder, his alibi could not be corroborated, and he used Patricia Jeschke’s credit card after claiming he found it in a ditch. ^ A pair of distinctive gold earrings identified by Ms Jeschke’s father were also found in Holman’s home.
And to be clear, this wasn’t just some mistake, some lamentable error. The cops deliberately set her up in order to protect one of its own. Not a single cop or police force will pay any price for ruining this woman’s life.

None of this was disclosed to Ms Hemme’s defence team at the time, the review said.
Ms Hemme was interrogated by police several times under the influence of antipsychotic medication and a powerful sedative after being involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital. She had been receiving occasional psychiatric treatment since she was 12 years old.
Her responses were “monosyllabic” and she was “not totally cognisant of what was going on”, court documents showed, and at times could barely hold her head up straight and was in pain from muscle spasms – a side effect of the medications.
Judge Horsman’s review noted that no forensic evidence linked Ms Hemme to the murder. She had no motive and there were no witnesses linking her to the crime.
The Houthi leadership is just as evil as the Israeli leadership, in terms of how they brutalize and murder noncombatants who don’t share their views and want no part in their holy war.
