Being banned from public life by a government is not quite the same as rating a company for its services.
Americans: "China is becoming a dystopian hellscape, with a social credit score that determines if you can ride the train!" Also Americans: "wouldn't it be cool if after every Uber ride, we rate each other and if your score gets too low you are banned from all Ubers?"

The point is that neither is a particularly good thing. Just because American capitalism hasn't yet reached the depths of hell, doesn't mean you should all continue in that direction.

Also America: "Let's allow bankers to assign ratings that determine everyone's access to necessities like housing, transportation, and etc."

As a driver, if I can be kicked out if my score is too low, then the same should apply to passengers. At least being banned as an Uber passenger isn't going to affect your livelihood.

well you see, in China the system is accountable to an oppressive government with a history of human rights abuses. In America, the system is accountable to a private company that is so reckless it has suppressed wages, accelerated pollution, & killed Elaine Herzberg
