It pays to have empathy to all cross sections of society, not just the ones that are the most visible. :)
All of this just because our society is to stupid?
Old people are not stupid, they are just old. They should be able to either teach themselves or being teached.
Our society should focus on helping them to navigate the current world and not try to keep things like checks alive.
And I'm pissed about this though because I believe it's a mindset thing which needs to change to be able to act on real problems like climate change.
When I talk to old people about solar energy holy shit do they care more about how those Solarpanel look at buildings then the benefit of them.
If we don't help those people they are being limited by society one way or the other anyway!
No you don't. You can scan them in many cases these days, or mail them in. Can also deposit in ATMs.
I cash checks all the time and haven't physically been to my bank in over 20 years, as the nearest branch is ~3000 miles away.
