This and That

Posted by Belthagor - 8 days ago


As I'm aware I'm on a fake internet and people may make fun of me for this post however in the case news is accurate: I think President Trump is a genius for removing the penny from circulation.


To explain: When people buy things they can estimate cost, but they can't estimate it down to the penny, and then people think bad things or look at you in a strange way.


A couple of months ago before a Walgreens closed I brought sweets from there. The price was six dollars and sixty six cents after tax (It's in my receipts though I was not using electronic receipts at the time.) So you see: President Trump is a genius. Because all prices are rounded up.

I do 'not' think that 'taking an idea that has been proposed for decades in various nations' qualifies somebody for the title of "genius". That goes even more so for somebody as stupid as him - who, incidentally, is _currently_ single-handedly ruining the stock market and USA's trade-dependent economy over petty ego-crap. (Look up graphs for these things, if you don't believe me.)

On top of that: Maybe 'wait' with the celebration until 'after' he has 'actually done it'. He says and promises a lot if the day is long...

I like pennies though

@CoJoNo I mean, realistically speaking, when a coin is taken out of circulation, many people will hold on to a few in the vain hope that it will gain value at some point - or just for novelty reasons. You could also feasibly walk into a bank and buy $10 worth of one cent coins. That's a _thousand_ coins. :)

(If you 'actually' do this, consider their weight and the distance you have to travel with them first...)
