Credit or debit cards, for starters, are nothing short of shoppers' Novocain. Even in the age of digital purchases and virtual money, we still attach a special value to dirty paper with pictures of presidents on it. Handing some of that to a cashier simply hurts more than handing over a little sliver of plastic.
This nation's 23 million small businesses need a budget that reflects their value to the economy.
The true value of somebody in this town is very hard to determine. It's all smoke and mirrors.
