Have to agree with him here. He has instructed the Treasury Department to stop minting new pennies calling it wasteful.
I have tons of pennies at home accumulated down through the years that I don't know what to do with. I could put them into those little coin wrappers but I got better things to do with my time. Could take them to the Coinstar kiosk at the local supermarket but again other things on my plate. Don't know my true net worth because I haven't counted them yet. Ain't gonna remodel the kitchen with it.
A total waste. Trump is right. Won't even get you a bus ride these days.
True - their weight in copper is probably more valuable. I guess in England many years back they had a half penny (or ha' penny as they said) Twice the fun?
ReplyDeleteThink about the crazy ratio here. Trump has to say a hundred crazy things first before he says something you agree with or that at least isn't totally out of the realm.
ReplyDeleteThe penny has no practical value to me. To each their own.
6 degrees here tonight. Go to run the far laundry room with hot water-
ReplyDeletewife at midnight me at 6AM next three days. Trump hasn't banned cold yet.
Retirement isn't always relaxing. Hard to take it easy in your hammock when there's so much to do. Rich people have other people handle the small stuff. I need a housekeeper like Alice on "The Brady Bunch."
DeleteTaking 2 cats today and 1 cat tomorrow and one cat later on to the vet for their yearly shots. Do you have issues with putting the critters in the carrier? Sometimes it's easy sometimes it ain't.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if I invented this but the other day Buddy was having a conflict with a strange cat that sometimes comes around. I gently coaxed them apart with a long-handled broom so I wouldn't get scratched. Can I patent this?
Always figured feral cats were loners, but you seem to have a bunch
ReplyDeletethat tolerate each other. Common source of reliable fancy feast? Not much trouble with our cat - spent his whole life indoors. Kind of surprised me he had his claws clipped awhile back and took it like a man. We feed him and put him in the laundry room over night and he thinks that is normal too. Guy next door has 2 large dogs that sleep with him every night. They ride shotgun in his big pick up. Mrs. calls them his wives.
George Carlin used to make fun of people who let dogs lick their face. Say your uncle comes over and lets the dog lick his face then Carlin goes the dog has a perfectly clean anus. Get it?
ReplyDeleteHe managed to get himself court-marshalled three times in the Air Force. The counter culture comedian.
ReplyDeleteHe liked pets. I think he had a dog or a cat or something. He said when you're in the pet store buying a new pet you already know it's not going to end good meaning when they pass.
ReplyDeleteMy conspiracy theory about conspiracy theories - some HS sophomore
ReplyDeleteis sitting in his room in Peoria churning them out. See what flies. If they do, he sells them to the History Channel's Ancient Alien series.
Like Alexander The Great wasn't great until he met Mork from Ork.
Although MK-ULTRA and the Tuskegee syphilis experiment turned out to be true. Of course you can choose to never question institutions and authority which leads to statism or worship of the State. Another term on another subject - scientism or the worship of Science or science having all the answers to everything which is widely seen as a fallacy.
ReplyDeleteJust my 2 pennies worth.
ReplyDeleteActually, I have been questioning 'authority' a hell of a lot lately. Big difference between sense and nonsense. Or cents and pence. Science is all about questioning- if it wasn't we'd still be living in caves.
ReplyDeleteOf course left-wing conspiracy theories are ok though. Trump was behind J6 even though that had no chance of succeeding. The Russian collusion hoax. Hillary's VRWC etc.
ReplyDeleteIf you believe science has the last word on everything that 's scientism. No room for philosophy no room for religion. That's worshipping at the altar of science. Some people worship Fauci for example.
If you insist. What should we term Trump worshippers?
ReplyDeleteWell maybe the MAGA base is splitting down the middle the more he talks about things he didn't campaign on. I think the love affair with Trump is partly a reaction to the extreme leftism in this country.
ReplyDeleteThe Druids used to worship trees. Trivia - the second most trusted professionals are veterinarians, after nurses. (shhh- don't tell Nurse
ReplyDeleteNancy) The least trusted are members of congress, car salesmen
advertisers, CEOs and lawyers. Not sure about chefs, but would think feral cat caretaker would be pretty high - all 8 of those kind folks.
Theory about why people prefer vets over doctors. The vet is not going to tell you you have cancer. Docs for people are subconsciously seen as threats. They're always looking for something usually cancer and by golly they'll find it. Seeing Golf Digest in the waiting room doesn't relax you. You go to the vet you're there for your pet.
ReplyDeletePeculiar paradox - humans can explain all their symptoms, real, imagined and observed in TV drug ads. Animals can't talk. Maybe we would be better off if we just went in and meowed or barked?
ReplyDeleteOr just passed the gas.
ReplyDeleteIn Other News Tulsi Gabbard confirmed and there may have been two JFK shooters.
ReplyDeleteCan't keep up, Z-Man. What's the status on Sasquatch Tariffs?
ReplyDeleteThe Yetis are more.
ReplyDeleteOverheard in the oval office - "Sir, the price of eggs is still going up!"
ReplyDelete"No problem - Hal, you getting those nuns at that cloister chained and ready for deportation? Willie, have them change the Star Spangled Banner to the Trump Waltz. Now for the eggs, who cares, but I will have the word egg erased across the country. The new term will be Golden Bit Yolk and the poor bastards will be happy"
I hope the price of CB doesn't go up. The Essentials.
ReplyDeleteThey have been tracking a football stadium sized Near Earth Asteroid
ReplyDeletecalled 2024YR4, will pass very close or hit earth in 2032. Trump wants to change the name to LOOOZER JAN6 and deport it. SyFi Channel has the filming rights. Where do we deport an asteroid to?
I heard. It could be a city destroyer. I thought NASA and those folk were working on ways to veer such things off course. Musk didn't invent anything yet?
ReplyDeleteIsn't NASA being demolished along with rest of the gov't?
DeleteCancer research too probably.
DeleteI originally thought Musk would trim a few things not take a chainsaw to government.
Trump creates this brand new agency of the government and gives Musk almost unlimited power. To this outside observer no legal expert but doesn't seem quite constitutional.
ReplyDeleteAw, who reads that old document?
