All our banks create money out of nothingness. None of them actually run 
printing presses per se.

Internet as a means of distributing information between people who may be 
friends of those who (say) run television stations.

No, that is rather extreme. But there are plenty of small companies that get 
in trouble by ticking off customers.

Stuff like this happens too.

Well, in the USA, most people have their money insured by the federal

pretty high for most people.
