el midgetron Posted December 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2022 The first member of Generation Z to become a congressman-elect has reportedly been denied a Washington, DC, apartment due to “really bad” credit. Democrat Maxwell Alejandro Frost will soon replace Rep. Val Demings (D) for her seat in Florida’s 10th U.S. Congressional District next month, but he will have some difficulty finding a place to hang his hat near Capitol Hill after a potential landlord denied him an apartment because of his credit score. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/12/08/first-gen-z-congressman-elect-denied-d-c-apartment-really-bad-credit/ In the words of the great philosopher Whitney Houston, “children are our future”. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor Witness Posted December 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Credit scores are worthless as a good gauge, right now, because of the Coronavirus. A lot of people were severely hurt financially, through no fault of their own. The Congressman was borrowing to pay for his campaign, but in his district people who might have otherwise given to his campaign, were unable to, again due to a pandemic. So its a viscious cycle. We need more poor people in the Congress, so that it reflects the reality of where we are. Hurting people are not adequately represented by the wealthy members of Congress. The wealthy have not done a good job, lately. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From your breitbart article: "For that primary, I quit my full time job cause I knew that to win at 25 yrs old, I’d need to be a full-time candidate. 7 days a week, 10-12 hours a day. It’s not sustainable or right but it’s what we had to do,” he said. Frost said that candidates are often barred from giving themselves a stipend until after their campaign, meaning they earn little money unless they have an alternate source of income". Not everyone can scam people out of their money like Trump, Boebert, MTG... some have to make a choice that does not affect other peopl's wallets even if it means getting bad credit.

Alchopwn Posted December 9, 2022 #14 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I think the real question here, and the one the article doesn't address, is why he has a poor credit score? I'm sure he can get an apartment in Baltimore if DC is out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on our own generation, these would be our children or grandchildren, why would we oppose them? Are you joking as @Likely Guy suggested? Sorry if I missed it.
