President Trump's order to freeze penny production is a perfect example of what makes this administration different.

Penny production has been pointless for years. Everyone knew it, but nobody else cared enough to actually act. Sure, it's "only" $179 million a year. But looks at…

Trump's "pragmatic" argument for ending penny is a trial balloon for his technocrat billionaires who want to take us into a de facto CBDC

"CBDC" label doesn't matter
Transactional financial privacy does
Digital "money" is a surveillance trap, but it's fine if Trump does it

These anti-penny comments prove dramatards are ultimately just redditors. Nobody even uses cash except with drug dealers and hookers, and those people aren't giving you change back in coins. I know nobody here has any dignity left but pretend you do and recognize it's trashy for a nation to not pay for the complete set of coins. "Oh no, children will get little pictures of Lincoln so they can learn math and develop respect for the dollar and make wishes in fountains." Maybe you fricks are unlucky but half my taxable income last year came from fountain wishes.
"Hurr durr the opportunity cost, if a million people waste three seconds each dealing with pennies, that's three million seconds lost for the economy!" No it isn't, being three seconds late to work does not mean you do three seconds less work and everyone with a job understands that. Teaching normies about opportunity cost has done more harm than good.
If you really want to save money just encourage people to bring in the massive reserves of pennies they keep in jars at home. Chemically clean them for a fraction of the price of minting new ones, then recirculate them as "throwback pennies." Some of them will be severely faded but that won't matter because nobody can profit from counterfeiting pennies.

I pay at my local cafe with cash so I don't have to press No on the tip machine. Then I put a tip in their jar so they actively see I donated.
Tipping on the turned-around ipad is 100% cucked. You may as well not even have tipped.
Tipping is a social strategy, it's not just for you to feel heckin wholesome. That's why george costanza was right: they have to see it.
