Shapiro: Censorship, using the long arm of government to silence people, to silence businesses and nonprofits, and restrict their right to free speech, that will not solve this problem. 

The Treasury Department will stop issuing paper checks for tax refunds, Social Security payments and most other government programs on Sept. 30. Advocates say the move could create headaches for beneficiaries who don’t move to direct deposit.

From @theathletic.com: Josh Naylor is one of the biggest, slowest players in Major League Baseball. And out of nowhere, he’s become one of the game’s most prolific base stealers.
