I'm sorry, but as a mechanical adding machine guy, it's really hard to watch a computer guy get a chuckle at somebody else given their chosen platform's inferiority and not have a chuckle about it myself.
I work in retail (in America) and checks are used almost exclusively by the elderly, but they use them indiscriminately. I have occasionally had people buy a single greeting card with a check.
If there is one thing I have learned about the economy (from my amateur standpoint), it's that each economic school never makes policies and predictions that work for a long period of time. The "Keynesian" policies that started around the '30s failed in the '80s when there was both unemployment and inflation, and "Chicago School" policies have failed more recently, but both of them worked relatively well for a short period of time.
(Proponents of each system might argue that they were never implemented fully, hence the quotes)

I was going to commit an act of terror, but then I got high.

Actually, I think that would be Black Flag.

A bad movie?
I would begin to execute my masterfully not-thought-through plan: The Libertarian Police State.
An interesting choice for the article since it is a summary of an engadet summary of this article, and here is more of supposedly the leaked list.
