Forbes' commentary is very shallow. PayPal does not "freeze companies" on a whim and certainly would prefer not having to do so. However, fraud is pervasive and fighting fraud is all but easy. New payment systems that pretend to "simplify" payments often backtrack when fraud hits them for real. Delete the scoop?

I could hug Jon Stewart for having this amazing conversation with NJ Governor Chris Christie. This is an amazing interview all the way through, but here is my favorite line:
If you have cancer and you don't have health insurance then it is hurricane Sandy (in your life).
Jon goes on to make the point that politicians’ empathy increases when they are personally impacted. I wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy, but until you (Republicans) have walked a mile in my shoes then you can't understand. Problem is if you are a politician, you MUST have empathy since we live in a REPRESENTATIVE democracy.
