    You can also trust the post office. Expect more people like these to take pot shots against it.

    The banks already factor in insurance to everything you named. Insurance pays for fraud losses. The insurance pays today based on future promises which themselves are insured against default. Long story short: new money is created to cover fraud like this. No one loses. Free lunches abound in finance.

    Not always.

    This is actually a huge issue.

    Yep.

    If you really want equality and not just some token feelgood bullshit, let's start with eliminating "maternity" leave and turn it into "parental" leave, with mandatory equal times for husband and wife.

    This is something that will most likely benefit men as well as women.

    It's also something feminists have been going on about for quite a while.

    Paypal has been doing this for a long time.

    How did this get modded insightful?

    The FDIC shuts down banks (and this is only to ensure that depoistors get as much of their money as possible so that the FDIC insurance doesn't take too big of a loss). The Fed has (as far as I can tell) shut down one bank in its history -- in 2011 -- well after the height of the crisis.

    This took me five minutes on google.

    Absolutely correct - it's a cool idea with many advantages, but it only works at the regional level and requires a partnership with all the local banks. That's easier said that done, as Bling Nation is finding out - http://www.americanbanker.com/issues/176_109/bling-nation-mobile-payments-1038582-1.html

    Sounds like this.

    There truly is nothing new about this. Van Eck attacks are Cold-War stuff. Tempest was in IBM displayWriters, and everything after that, as well as all the PC stuff of course.
