It’s ok for us to be cashing the checks. ( actually, the SS ledger entry is transferred to my ledger entry electronically and never touched or seen by a human)
I like to go to walmart to observe all the morbidly obese there that are going to die and not collect and thus leave their contributions uncollected for others to use. one of the benefits of too much stuff is that some die young

Socially? Of course. It’s a time-honored tradition now for Americans to take others money for their own use.
Morally? probably not.
It’s just more honest to accept the fact that you are taking other people’s money when you “cash” the check. Once enough folks understand this - we can change it - even better eliminate it.
It’s better (and more American) in the long run for everyone if we do. Except for the folks that are used to living off of others.
