Considered a public service, ideally.

The only thing that can possibly affect your score in that sense is if you ONLY have a loan, no revolving credit, and you pay it off - now you have no credit utilization at all, which potentially could ding you a bit, but not much. That’s also not very common - most people have several credit cards and few loans, if any.

Ah, that would happen to be my exact experience, oddly enough. I don’t have any credit cards and payed off my car loan early because the bank was playing games with automatic payments.

It’s moreso a rating of how much potential cash they can extract from you over a lifetime in the form of interest.

That’s why, if you always pay off your debt balance before interest accrues, it actually lowers your score.

Thankfully, most of that shit is still on magtape, so actually have to work for it.

The people who made fun of you won’t be laughing when they share 50% of the blame during the damage claim phase of an accident.

And brain worms running the health department…

Yes. People are willing to do all kinds of tasks for money. If nobody wants to do a job it’s because you aren’t paying enough.

Which they would do if the work paid a living wage.

Unless you are Russia…

Weed be better off with a literal potato sitting in the oval office.

In a suit, of course…

Ain’t looking too good for capitalist society then, either…

Turns out that the current administration was just a bunch of DUI hires.

If they get pardoned, they can no longer plead the 5th, so that should be fun!

Were the ‘devices’ just Tesla batteries?

That’s what happens when you have a suicidal death cult trying their damnedest to bring about their version of the end of the world.

Because their current competition, the USPS does so as a service that’s paid for by your tax dollars.

Once that goes away, or is sold off, none of them have the incentive to continue to do so.

And in the end they will all eventually collude on raising the process for all of their services, just like every other ‘not a monopoly’ corporate collective.

There would be no reason for them to keep a free service like that when they could charge the consumer for it instead.

No company in position to purchase the USPS would have any conviction to show goodwill towards their users. Only quarterly profits matter.

You assume that those would remain…

If it’s a private company, expect that they will charge you more to send it back.
