  How revolutionary. They’re going to upend the world of finance by trying to give loans to people who can’t structurally afford to pay them back in all likelihood? Isn’t that the entire playbook for wage slaves to those who are otherwise of sound mind and body?

  Maybe they try to just continue with the current (awful)status quo without the psuedoscience? Course then they’d lose out on the fascism.
