SOCIAL RANKING PROGRAM WILL INSTANTLY CREATE UNDER, UNDER CLASS
Ok. Someone needs to go and pull Orwell from the grave and wake him up. Because this is straight outta his fictional playbook. China is getting close to adopt a “social ranking system.” It’s real, it’s close and it’s gonna happen. Starting in 2021 in Beijing, the program will judge residents on their social standing, based on whatever it will be at the end of 2020. Let’s call that 2020 hindsight. But in a bad way, right? So how does this program do this? It places a negative mark against any residents who violated any laws or social codes of conduct. So what will that mean? It means any so marked will have travel restrictions and may lose access to certain programs.

WILL ORWELL WAKE IN 2021 AND SAY I TOLD YOU SO?
If that sounds scary, it’s because it’s really scary. Social codes are way subjective, depending on who’s calling the shots. And laws? How about if law enforcement only accused you of breaking a law? But you didn’t? Can you get that negative mark removed? Or is it like being on the No Fly List? Sorry, we can’t tell you anything. Hope you like to walk. The plans were outlined by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform last week. And this is no joke at all. Residents can lose access to travel, public services. They can also lose the right to start a business or even find a job.

OTHER PROGRAMS HAVE ALREADY BLOCKED 15,000,000 FROM TRAVEL ACCESS
And if that sounds draconian, it is. They really think that this is a good idea. But it will instantly produce a new blacker market, where blacklisted people can exist, compete and work. They could quickly turn into an under, under class. The marked class. But there are social credit programs already live in China. They have blocked more than 11,000,000 from the ability to fly and 4,000,000 from access to high speed train travel. In just a few years, these numbers are gonna balloon in a really bad way.
