Am late to this game but this whole scenario is almost not worthy of ridicule, but more importantly is not unique to any hypothetical participation by the Fed at the retail level in the US. In fact, seemingly every few weeks a post appears on HN from a Paypal or other private account user complaining that they were for no reason refused service and access to their funds. The libertarian HN crowd has fantastic Orwellian dreams of government intervention while the risks of privatization, THE ACTUAL REASON TO HAVE GOVERNMENTS AND DEMOCRACIES, hits them in the fucking head every day.
