"Neon signs. There used to be a neon sign on every business. But neon signs are full of chemicals (some rather dangerous) like neon, argon, and mercury. Not to mention they can be a fire hazard and very inefficient with electricity use compared to LED’s. In fact, in America, a lot of places have made them illegal or at least changed building codes to no longer allow them. I’m in the business, and have friends that went to school for neon bending (it requires a lot of chemistry) that are now struggling."

#13 In my country, we've given up checks decades ago. I'm astounded some countries still use fax machines too.

Mel, yeah, I think last time I saw a check where I live was like 35 years ago. Around here most people don't use cash either. We just tap the debit card, the smart phone or the smart watch.

Mel,
I don't carry cash but I do write a check when I pay my ex-wife the monthly tuition for my kids. I got burned with my oldest and payed child support with cash. Not a dime of the $75,000 I paid went to my daughter and she denied receving it for the first two years so I had to back pay that again.

Oh, come on, Shirley. Be nice. Johnny probably lives in a country where he's paying 75% taxes and declaring everything is 'free', while hanging a state approved flag out his front window with his back yard permanently looking like a medieval lifestock pasture. Sneering at America is required by law where he's from, or he could lose social credits and be put on a black list.

Margaret,
I say that as a former beekeeper. It's also hard to learn the necessary skills when you live in an apartment (home ownership for young people has fallen 25% in the last 12 years in the US)

#4 cemeteries? they are becoming more efficient as holders of the ashes in smaller spaces. they are making more money than ever!! go pull financial statements. they take your $1000s, put it in a foundation and the interest pays for upkeep and the family's expenses which increase every year when more people die.
