Why doesn't competition between credit reporting agencies select
against the less accurate ones?

Mostly I don't care, as I never borrow money.  But I'm told that
employers are increasingly looking at credit scores when deciding
who to hire, so maybe I *should* care.  Or maybe I should figure
I'm better off not working for such a stupid employer.

I've tried to see my credit report, but they won't provide it unless I
give them my Socialist inSecurity number.  I'm pretty sure they don't
already have it, and I'd greatly prefer that that remain the case.
