I heard some 'poor guy' complaining that he couldn't get out of Houston because he couldn't cash his GovCheck.

You’re right, and that’s precisely the problem with any gambling, whether it is the state or federal government running the program.

I am wrong, there is no way to run a program like this without it leading to disaster.

An entertaining read is 'Gangs of America' by Ted Nace [yes, the Peachpit Press in 1985, the publisher of such million-copy bestselling computer books as The Macintosh Bible, the Little Mac Book, ].

He has done a fine job of pulling together the true history of the rise of the modern corporation. Why would a writer of computer books even care enough about this to do some research and then write about it in a way that presents this dry stuff in a fascinating way? Can't say, but it fills in a big gap. Considering that America [with Japan] has emerged as far and away the power on earth, and the modern corporation is the structure behind all of that, why don't we take a good look at this modern corporation idea, where it came from, how it was implemented, who did it.
