Sure, it's good to promote healthier life #habits, but doing so via #CreditScore still seems to be a way to punish the #poor for being poor (and thus having to do grocery irregularly, esp. for those living check-to-check).

Fitch downgrades US credit rating from AAA to AA+ - BBC News
#Fitch, one of three major independent agencies that assess #creditworthiness, downgraded it from the top rating of AAA to #AA+.
Fitch said it had noted a "steady deterioration" in governance over the last 20 years.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called the downgrade "arbitrary".
It was based on "outdated data" from the ( Trump ) period 2018 to 2020, she said.
Not waiting for the #SEC:
"#Fitch Ratings this week said it would review the impact of #ClimateChange on the #creditworthiness of more than 1,600 companies. Nearly 20% of those companies could have their #credit ratings cut as a result, according to an initial Fitch estimate. These companies will have to change the way they do business or potentially face higher #borrowing costs."
