The underlying presumption here is that there is business value in establishing the genetic link.
If there's a real link between genetics and bankruptcy, maybe we should figure that shit out (with the idea of doing pleasant, voluntary, educational interventions). If there isn't and banks use the info anyway, someone will make a good business out of ignoring the information.
Which isn't to say I approve of the privacy destroying business model these companies are trying to establish.
Huh? Homosexuality was illegal in many parts of The West until very recently. I wouldn’t be surprised if it still is some places.
And is it true that homosexuality is banned throughout the east?
What’s the word for when you are ignorant of something your whole life and then you get enlightened and then immediately feel entitled to point out how much better you are than everyone else who is still ignorant? I feel like that’s what you’re doing here.
(To be clear, I have no problem with your point about homosexuality laws. I’m just objecting to your notion of what’s eastern and western. Seems like a lot of people think western=quintessential liberalism, eastern=Saudi Arabia, which is just xenophobic nonsense)
Or you can't get a job because you're closely related to a felon.
Or a loan because you are closely related to someone who filed for bankruptcy.
I could go on. There's more "ors" here than on a viking raiding ship.
