*** Unless there are laws forcing businesses to discriminate against low-score people, actual capitalists will do business with them anyway because money is money, no matter where it comes from. Also, since low-scores can't do business with bigger establishments that ban them, anyone willing to do business with them basically has a captive customer base.

** Presumably, a higher score means a greater likelihood that you'll be a pleasant passenger who's easy to deal with. A person with a low score might be belligerent to other passengers, ignore instructions from flight attendants, or be prone to panic attacks -- all of which are unsafe things at 35,000 feet. And if you tell a passenger at the terminal that they're going to be downgraded and they ''don't'' freak out, that's a good indication they won't be a safety risk during the flight.

* So, given that there's clearly a segment of society that has just "checked out" from the rating system (e.g. the truck driver), is there any sort of 'parallel society' of sorts operating where the rules of the system are largely ignored? The fact that the truck driver ignores it/holds it in contempt while the clerk has a fairly dismissive attitude towards it suggests a more complicated underlying reality

**Possibly but with even Lacie's lazy brother technically being part of the system (receiving ratings from his gaming buddies) even people who dislike the system mostly seem to be a part of it. It's probably similar to trying to operate without money in a capitalist economy - pretty much impossible outside of small controlled settings

** In this situation? Because it's done by friends, it considers the scores of your friends. As such, someone such as Ryan, manages to avoid a nose dive because he's found a group that is relatively STABLE. Also, he doesn't associate with higher scores. This creates a conundrum where, if you have a middle score, you are relatively safe...But a HIGH Score can have a nose dive. (As, they associate with more high score people). In China, the issue is that the GOVERNMENT, which handles the system, is purposely putting its thumb on the scale. Ryan, in China, wouldn't be able to get 'likes' from his friends. In fact, his friends would have to disassociate from him, or THEY get dislikes.
