Stuff? That isn’t very much money. Our monthly grocery bill alone is over $1,000. Plus rent. Plus car payments. Insurance. We’re already over $5,000 a month.
If it’s any indication… the last time I ordered checks their website was littered with nuisance upsell popups that significantly hindered that task (felt kinda like Indiana Jones navigating booby traps), so I think the “check industry” (if that is a thing?) is getting desperate.
Also, most all US small to mid sized business transactions are by check.
Why? It is a bank transfer with extra steps. A check can get unreadable, get lost… No one in Germany would write a check for a permit fee or to pay a business partner. You pay online. Fast, safe, can’t get lost, easy to proof what, when to whom you have paid for years to come. And the transfer won’t get through if you do not have money on your account or are allowed to overdraw, while you can write whatever you want on a check and then run.
It is not cash or check it is bank transfer or check and the bank transfer is the safer, faster option. All they do at a bank is to scan the check and to turn it into the exact same bank transfer it could have been in the first place. All you do is adding a layer of risk by writing on a piece of paper.
I find that really funny, because many Germans still refuse to buy their groceries without cash, many like me do not own a credit card only debit cards, but no one younger than 90 uses a check. I am 58 years old and have never owned checks.
I don’t know what to tell you, but I work in business in the US and work in invoicing in the construction industry.
Everything is done via paper, full stop.
Bank transfers do not generate invoices, full stop. Company to company payments are made using a PO or check. Nothing else, in my experience, are accepted.
These are for amounts of $1 to tens of millions of $$$.
I had an apartment that switched payment processor that jacked up my credit card fee well above my cash back (prob cuz people like me ended up saving like 10/mo), so I just switched to bank issued checks that they send for me.
Using the checkbook I got 20 years ago is just a massive pain in the ass.
didn’t say it was, didn’t say the retarded thing you said either, didn’t call the man antisemitic, just called him out for parroting a nutjob’s anticommunist website. He linked it himself
Zionism is a religious and political movement to reclaim Palestine for the Israeli people and views that land as inherently belonging to Jewish people because God said so.
That belief alone is not enough to call it a genocidal ideology. However, because Zionists overwhelmingly “reclaim” the land by terrorizing the current inhabitants, it’s not that much of a stretch.
It is also inherently nationalistic and Zionists are inherently colonizers. It’s not racist to say that because it’s an ideology, and a harmful one.
Just like I’d call all Westboro Baptists bigots. And I’d call any far-right group fascists. The Zionist ideology is the exact same
I did this in undergrad. Campus security stopped me, I argued, he called his supervisor on the radio. We chatted for a while, and turns out he was from Venezuela, had studied what I was studying, and was an overall pleasant character. Supervisor response was basically, “wow college kids think they’re really clever don’t they?”, and I was asked, politely, to cease.
Well you’re at a college. If you want people to follow rules, be more specific, or don’t get pissed when they follow the stated rules but you feel like the rules should include something else.
If the concern is liability, then don’t just say “don’t skateboard” and get mad when people bike through the area. You said no skateboards. This is not a skateboard. Rules=followed.
If anyone feels like chirping in with “you know what they meant” that really doesn’t matter. Not to me, not to people who don’t understand that sort of thing, not to courts.
Besides, I feel like clarity is some thing you should strive for at a facility for higher education.
