No credit IS bad credit.

You don't have to carry debt to have a credit history, but you do have to use credit to have a credit history. If you haven't used the system, they have no knowledge of your crdit worthiness.

I use credit cards as a tool to protect my finances and purchases (fraud protection is greater with CCs than a bank account/card, as well as being able to dispute transactions where service was failed to be delivered or inadequate). I also always pay off my statement balance in full every month.

I do my best to only buy things I can afford to pay in full, but a home and automobile can be exceptions to that (even though I bought my auto in full due to a financial windfall). But I still participate in the system to gain the benefits of the system

www.nerdwallet.com is a great resource on credit education and provides a wealth of tools for starting build your bad credit to good credit.

I snorted my coffee reading this.

A secret service officer, trying to explain the general confusion, just sighed. “Nobody knows what’s going on.”

I used to work for Amazon in a division I didn't feel grimey for. Spent over 7 years of my life in that division, doing great things and recurringly got top performer review status and was even awarded role model on top of that on several occasions.

Then they laid me off in 2023, after my latest review of "top performer" & award of "role model".

About 2 weeks ago a recruiter reached out to me for a role in AWS and I responded with, "Amazon shouldn't have laid me, a top performer and role model, off if they'd like me to work for them."

ATCs should give this response to Musk.

This seems like a brilliant feature to roll out as they're getting investigated by the DOJ for being a monopoly.

Americans, the last Trump presidency was a fucking disaster on so many fronts that ended with a massive pandemic that the management of was sabatagoted by Trump as president while also championing an insurrection.

How the fuck is anybody undecided at this point? You have to have had your head in a hole for the last 8 years to be undecided today.

Former President Donald Trump has drawn the ire of another musical group for unauthorized use of their music. This time, it's the Foo Fighters.

Trump played the band's song "My Hero" when he welcomed former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the stage at a rally in Arizona on Friday[...]

[...]The spokesperson added that any royalties received as a result of the Trump campaign's use of the song will be donated to the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.

Trump owes millions from two civil court cases, but his investment portfolio offers a staggering portrait of wealth.

Donald Trump has submitted his annual financial disclosure, and after a year of lawsuits, legal cases, and grifts, the contents of the documents reflect the turmoil surrounding the former president...
