Cash on demand.

Getting $7 in a class action settlement is an indication of how many people were compensated for the amount I got to be that low, a reminder to always go for cash if it's an option, to always look to a settlement, and a quiet, small moment of some level of accountability. As is said, a fine is a price. At least someone paid it this time.

That $7 is going to buy me a couple very nice cups of coffee.
