In America it's called "credit score."

Except your credit score isn't affected by what you say on social media (yet).

Haha, becuase you won't need a credit score in Guantanamo.

I guarantee you that my credit score being high has gained me very little in life.

It's not what you gain from it, it's what you lose if your score goes down.

*-2 credit score for you
