...I heard an old lady ask if they take checks, and of course the answer was no. A CHECK?? Really?? What year is it??
I think the two key words here are probably 'old lady'.
There are a very few left who probably don't carry enough cash & don't trust debit cards...probably because of stories of identity theft, not wanting to deal w/ passwords, etc. You can really lose track of your balance, too and be overdrawn pretty quickly. People who write checks probably log them right away.
Then of course there's the other extreme which is people who NEVER use cash/checks anymore and make ALL their purchases and payments w/ debit/credit cards.
I'm somewhere in between.
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
