how would you be rated? I'd be low, below 3 definitely. Don't care much for social privilege and do have a tendency to be honest with my unpopular ideas. It has turned family away.

I gave this some thought while watching. I'm sure a lot of viewers did!
Probably about whatever the average is, for me, I think. And I think I'd be pretty happy with that most of the time, except when it affected things like medical access. I wouldn't qualify for one of those nice apartments, for instance, but then I wouldn't enjoy living in a hive with a bunch of phonies either.

You make a good point about the medical. This and other such items which are needed to keep one healthy I'd be concerned about. Being able to live in a nice apartment and have very nice stuff not so much. All of that is shallow and unnecessary. It only matters to me that where I live is clean and not run down, well maintained, abd everything works as it should or can be repaired/replaced when it eventually breaks down. As for what I own, it just has to do what I need it to adequately.

Same. It's just the genuinely practical/survival stuff that would concern me. If that became a problem, like I couldn't get a needed surgery or something, I'd try to get my rating up, who wouldn't. But, not sure if I could manage it.

You wouldn't have a very good job then, so I hope that's something you're okay with as well.
We saw how one of the girl's co-workers (sorry I binged watched and don't particular pay attention to names) was denied access to the building he worked at because his score was too low. I'm assuming jobs like truck driver, rental car agency and "gas" pump technician are regulated to lowers.
Though I feel like being a teacher or any other type of social worker would be the pits?though I don't imagine kids have a say in ratings, else that brings all new drama to the teenage years.
Politicians would be even more unbearable though. They would probably be regulated to making no actual live appearances. Ha! Could you imagine the chaotic rating back and forth during a rally or debate.
