I’m sorry that you can’t see how rounding evens out in the aggregate, but that doesn’t make me rich. I have not eaten so that my kids could. I’m a sped teacher raising 2 disabled kids, not a CEO. Don’t assume you know anything about me.

Emphasis on the world slight, and even that’s debatable; other studies contradict those findings. There are far worse things afoot: cutting health care for millions of Americans, for example. But you go die on the penny hill while banks take crypto as collateral lol

Then do the math and tell me how it doesn’t average out over time, Mr. Pascal

No one is rounding up a .04 purchase. That’s not what I said nor how it works in other countries.
Not for nothing, masked thugs are kidnapping your neighbors off the streets and sending them to foreign gulags without due process. Maybe the dangers of a penny-less America shouldn’t be our focus.

Rounded up. A whole penny! Oh no!
But wait, if it’s 19.01 it’s rounded down. A whole penny!
Almost like it evens out or something.
And cash is only used in 18% of American purchases as of 2022, so, you know, not a great scam all told.

But they’ve been doing it like that for years in other countries, as I said, so clearly not that hard.

Canada got rid of the penny 13 years ago by the way and no Richard Pryor yet.

They have gotten rid of the penny in Canada, Australia, etc.
For debit card purchases, no need to round.
For $0.04 or under, round down. 0.06 and over, round up. Not hard.

That’s a good fence, so I have some assumptions about the neighbors. ;)

Yeah, the War on Terror was an era full of unspeakable stupidity. And yet somehow this president makes that lying, criminal nepo baby doofus Dubya Bush look like John Frigging Adams

I know that sounds insane. It is. It’s also what he’s ranted about on his shitty social media site

So instead he’s going to use them to target blue state
cities to punish them for trans rights and not voting for him

Well that seems worth the $40 million in taxpayer dollars

And the real kick in the teeth is that these blue states contribute more than they take from the federal government, meaning we’re paying for the thugs who terrorize us on behalf of the “heartland” we subsidize

He blatantly says it’s because these are “Democrat Power Centers.” He doesn’t even try to hide the fact he’s weaponizing ICE—who have already exceeded their annual budget and are now illegally operating beyond congressional spending—against blue states that oppose his unconstitutional policies.
