There is no national system to prevent credit from being authorized in your name, even to aliens from other worlds.
Agreed; indeed both my immediate neighbours were recently granted credit and they're gelatinous CO2-respiring life-forms from out of town. Curiously, I've been repeatedly turned down, despite paying-off every one (of fifteen credit records) loan, hp agreement etc. with only two missed payments since my credit history began.
I'm more interested in their ability to perform their core task of determining someone's creditworthiness than anything as ancillary as preventing credit theft although that is a close second.
It disturbs me that these agencies are seen to be infallible (certainly with respect to credit-scoring) and are free to operate without oversight, despite there being no logical manner to derive their decisions from their available data!
Surely, someone (else, tm) should be looking in to this given that ability to obtain credit is so crucial to one's flexibility in the modern world.
Bearing in mind that one's financial prowess plays such a large role in the apparent seriousness of any degree of deliberate immorality at someone else's expense.
Unfortunately, as within the wider 'democracy', taking a principled stand achieves nothing if your voice is drowned-out by idiocracy-now adherents - one of the major benefits of democracy.
You've got to be able to show that your decisions can change the lives of millions and that you are smart enough to avoid oversight on appropriate use of such power.
I couldn't agree more but speaking as a UKian, I can say that this appears to be the American Way (tm) - freedom of opportunity to distort the truth through bribery for future financial gain. Woohoo \o/
"The American Egg Board" - sounds pretty sinister to me - they idea that there's an organization promoting eggs!?! Do eggs need promotion? Don't they in fact promote themselves by being a great food?

So.... you were...(nt?) born there? I'm confused.
I read their offer as "This is not the incompetence you're looking for; we're still relevant; no-one's worth may be judged without our say-so! dammit!!"
Is it conceivable that he can solve small isolated problems AND problems requiring broader thinking or is that just unthinkable?
Not nearly xenophobic enough; please hand back your white hood.
"Guy uses common sense to avoid gratuitous redundancy" doesn't have the same eye-bait?

Nuh-uh, meaning that you didn't read the summary (usually, I would be none the wiser too):
It's never gonna end. The army of n00bs will always be larger so as long as the system requires consensus to make progress, we are screwed.

... oversight from some higher moral authority that isn't merely a sock puppet to those with golden hands.

No true Scotsman would make such an assertion.
Fear of perpetual imprisonment on trumped-up secret charges?
Only criminals or those planning to be criminals (i.e. no right-minded American/<your nationality>) want to use anonymizing technology.
Mr Fox feels misunderstood and would like to continue guarding the hen house.
Personal attacks > discussion of the issues.
