I am fine with this. I remember travelling in Europe about 15 years ago and countries like the Netherlands just rounded up or down to the nearest 5 cents and didn't use the penny euro coin. It's a sad realization of where we are but no need for them, just zillow the pennies or something, sheeeeeeeeit.
A lot of people have been campaigning for this. I think inflation should rather go down so the penny is worth something again.

We probably have too much physical money circulating as it is now, so this might be a good thing.

My grandpa was part of a political group dedicated to getting rid of the penny due to how wasteful it is.


RIP grandpa

Nickels are actually just as bad (but worse) A 5 cent piece costs 10 to produce
 
Why would they trick you by showing the team that is winning being the ultimate winner? Wouldn’t it be the other way where they try to get you to lose
The clues weren't obvious. Who tf pays attention to ugly smackhead Pete Davidson's tabloid fodder? (well, when he's not dating a hot female celebrity).

He also wore a Superbowl ring a few weeks ago:

In one of Skeet's comedy specials, he jokes (if you calls his comedy "jokes") about being friends with/riding in a private jet with a member of the mafia (I think Ndragheta?). So, food for thought...
 
Can you retards please stop sperging about the Depression?

What's so great about it? From what everyone tells me it seemed like it was pretty lousy.

Countdown before someone laments the loss of their right to ass pennies.
 
Because of that, Trump inherited a decent economy on the upswing until the left blew it up via Covid and even then the stimulus checks kept us from getting worse only for Biden to go full Hoover and letting shit burn once more.
Like I always remind everyone how the covid vaccine was the Trump vaccine thanks to operation warp speed (and they still managed to stall the announcements to ratfuck him in the election), the first stimulus checks had his big beautiful signature right on them. Whether it was right or wrong, he owns a lot of the federal side of early covid policy.

Hoover seems like an interesting type I want to look into more; good man, probably great man, inarguably bad politician, and didn't have the skills to sell his vision, whether it could have helped the country or not; by contrast FDR is if nothing else one of the greatest politicians in history.
 
We should totally cut off the dollar. I mean what will 1 dollar cost to the economy right? Digital currency! Owning nothing and being happy.
Or just introduce new coinage with values that better reflect the cost of production.
Instead of getting rid of pennies, get rid of nickels and bump the penny up to a 5 cent piece
 
I support getting rid of pennies... but I honestly can't imagine not using pennies. I use them all the time when getting fast food or other little quick things.
Sounds like the problem is the sales tax taking you off a whole dollar amount. Get rid of sales tax and no more pennies. EZ PZ

Yeah, but it's completely backfiring on him because the decisions he's made have ruined Disney's cachet and cheapened the brand.
It turns out that to come back and be the savior. You actually have to save something. Stock price was higher under the last guy. And stock went down after his well publicized sabotage campaign against his fall guy.

He is only ceo because he knows how to build personal relationships with the big investment banks. Blackrock, Vanguard, et cetra are personal friends of his.

He apparently "knows China" and in other words gives them whatever they want. Even after all that they are just focusing on their internal.movie industry.

Dude failed at politics so hard he couldnt even get ambassador spot under Biden. I am confused why Trump and Elon havent made any public statement on Disney. Both have major axes to grind on Iger.
