If you thought McCarthyism was gone...well, no such luck. In this episode, we ll discuss the US newest wave of reactionary, anti-communist rhetoric and legislation. As capitalism s popularity wanes among the American population and the economic system begins to show signs of impending collapse, we should expect more kneejerk measures like these to try to rally support around a failing system.

Get your first three months of Audible 60% off! Visit https://audible.com/secondthought In America, more than in any other country in the world, three numbers can change just about everything. From your job, to your home, to your insurance, three digits can command where you can live, what you can buy, and what it’ll cost you. To most Americans today, this is just “the way it is,” but that idea, and the idea behind credit scores in general, is deeply complicated, discriminatory, and rooted in a long history of our financial system driving an ever bigger wedge between the rich and the poor. In this episode, we’re looking at credit scores. We’re going over everything wrong with our modern credit reporting system, how you might hear people defending this broken metric, and the why and the how that landed us here.
