The truth is, I think a system like this would be fantastic in the US as a way to encourage competitiveness among the population and force people to be better.

The ironic thing is, the OP wouldn't dare out himself with these ideas on one of his public social platforms like Facebook or in real life - as I'm sure he knows full-well that he'd get socially crucified for having such ridiculous thoughts.
I sincerely hope this OP was a joke.

As I'm sure most are aware, China has been working on implementing a citizen scoring system. They're still tinkering with the criteria and exact scoring mechanisms but the general idea is that people who score higher, being better citizens according to the state, are afforded greater social freedoms. In the Chinese system some of the privileges that can either be given or taken away are public transit access, internet speed, school choice, job qualifications, and public shaming/recognition.
Thoughts?

It strikes me that this is exactly what is meant by the prediction that only those who have the Mark of the Beast will be allowed to "buy and sell". I think we have now discovered the meaning of that passage in Revelation.
Those who don't worship the Beast will obviously rank low in their citizen scoring, with all the penalties that implies.

You say the poor person is the better okay but then the rich person who gave ten times the amount will then decide that if ten times the donation of a poor person isn't enough why should they donate anymore to a charity. That's my issue. You say the poor if the better but then some will say the rich is the better so who decides and what will the ramifications be for choosing one over the other because you can't score them the same because one will believe it isn't worth it.

Oh crap!! Just had a flashback.
This is the 'poster' whom actually wrote that we need not teach children critical thinking, because ..."thinking is not necessary"..., and that 'folks don't need to learn about growing and catching food, because all sane people know that food comes from grocery stores' (paraphrased).
ATS thread on education
Feels more like a psyop, or AI trying to gauge how humans react to NWO ideas.

Of course the other high irony I see in this whole diatribe post is that this is a poster who constantly harps on about how impossible it is to live the way the OP thinks people should live.
So, let's put this system in place and punish everyone for not living in ways the OP believes they should even though those standards are, by the OP's own railing and moaning, impossible to attain in today's world.

That being said, you do realize that the obvious conclusion of your proposal will be getting rid of the undesirables of the State.

I deliberately didn't include a ranking system, because my own beliefs on those categories are irrelevant. That's something that should be up to society to decide. I only included examples of categories.
If for example, we define family values a certain way, and enough say that's important to society, then people who don't have those values should be punished.

The level of sexism is just astonishing too. And I rarely throw that word around.

But lets make it more fun: Every year the weighting of each criteria. Maybe this year being healthy will get you more points; made being unhealthy will get you more points... and so on.
