Let the clusterfucking commence! Trump’s decision to stop producing the penny earlier this year is starting to have real implications for the nation’s commerce. Meanwhile, banks are unable to order fresh pennies and are rationing pennies for their customers. Retailers, fast food places and banks are about to create more confusion in this country then when high schools started letting boys in the girl's bathrooms.
In a nation half occupied by people who can't speak english or can't count to twelve without taking a shoe off, stores across the country are starting to round up - or down - the price of everything where cash sales are involved.
Although this shouldn't be a problem for anyone under the age of 25 who A: Don't carry any cash ever because everything is on their phones or B: It'll be a big problem for everyone between 25 and 40 who never learned simple math or economics in high school.
Online or in-store credit or debit card payments should not immediately be effected. Why you ask? Because they don't have to make change, silly. Duh.
I wonder what the stores will do with that extra coin slot in the cash register drawer. Yeah - that's the kinda shit I wonder about...

It's available again - jump on it
before it disappears again...
This portable tire inflator is marked down to
$ 15.99 and you can keep it in the glove box.
I have two - one in each vehicle...
That's half price!

A penny earned ain't worth shit, nor is a nickel. It is time for the U.S. to just shift all accounting to a single decimal point. $xx.x, instead of $xx.xx. Get rid of the penny and the nickel. I believe that a dime is cheaper to make then a penny anyway. That way the quarter would soon become useless as well.
ResponderEliminarSay good-bye to "A penny for your thoughts" and "A penny saved is a penny earned." And I wonder if the 007 Bond films will update the character name to Miss Moneyround-down. Without the penny it will be impossible to teach children the value of currency, which won't matter anyway because the abolition of the penny is just one more step toward the totalitarianism of CBDC.
ResponderEliminarTalk about Inflation. Now it's gonna cost a nickel just to put your two cents worth in.
ResponderEliminarHow much did it cost to mint a penny? 16+¢ sticks in my mind. For years I've been telling cashiers to keep the pennies. The best thing a penny could do for you was keep you from getting more pennies.
ResponderEliminarThis is nothing new. When I was stationed in Germany back in the '80's the BX and Commissary did away with the penny and everything was rounded to the nearest 5-cents. Prices reflected the exact price to the next 5-cents. Easy peasy. Nothing to see here, move along.
ResponderEliminarWhere have they all gone? Everyone has a jarful or ten. The feds should buy them back from hoarders for 2 cents a piece. They'd save a fortune and could keep them in circulation.
