Hi Jim!
I couldn't think of anything to add to the discussion until your story touched my banking/insurance/amex nerve.
I had a bank once hold on to CASH for 24 hours before issuing a cashier's check! Talk about stupid rules.
OK, on John Harvey's request, here's something positive:
1. I would reverse all stupid banking fees and turn them into credits, so instead of charging customers $7/month for online access (which saves them work), I'd turn that into a $7/month credit.
2. I would give myself the power to know which personal injury lawsuits are bogus and with that would make 90% of all lawsuits in progress magically disappear.
3. I would make ALL Amex cards in the world have NO CREDIT LIMIT. Like their ads so blatantly lie.
4. I would turn doctors into human beings again.
5. I would make politicians impotent (that is, incapable of lying).
6. Spammers would all wake up with a large, bold, unerasable "S" tatooed on their foreheads (it's up to the world to deal with them).
7. Spyware authors would contract Spammer's disease.
There, enough of playing god for a day. Now let me go back to this computer and make it do what *I* want!!!! MUAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
have fun!
Alex
