So block it and once you can’t stop it everyone pretends like they wanted it like that the whole time. classic.

I had this friend in college and we had this conversation. See he was adopted and had a full green card resident status. Which as he explained pretty much the same as citizenship but he can’t vote and does not get called for jury duty. Doing the final citizenship thing cost some coin which he felt was kinda a lot (went way more expensive since) and he did not feel voting was all that worth it and not being called to jury duty was sorta a bonus. I got it but I argued that voting was pretty important and also that its all well and good now but who knows how well the green card would be respected. It was kinda devils advocate with that as I did not seriously think the us would go that way, but I did point out that historically these things can really be bad. I worry about him. As much as I hate social media I kinda wish linkedin had become a thing while I was in college as it would be a good time to start your professional network.

yeah I get that. im implying the way I would like it. Its a wishful thinking kind of thing.

This could be a good thing for venezuelan fishermen.

Yeah I still think its not as paltry for the business as you make it out to be. My prediction still is that banks say. Hey. We need pennies at some point (unless congress makes it official)

yeah its like they constantly lie through their teeth and even the rare time they are technically not lying it is such a stretch and so disingenuous that it is still massively dishonest. Its like they are at best a stopped clock with truth.

yeah im just sayin if they want to put her on trial and convict her federally im all for it.

Im not 100% on this but I believe federal convictions trump state ones so if she were to be tried and convicted federally he can do it. And I would be sorta fine with this. If he were to pardon her she would simply have to go back to state which she would have to do at some point to finish her sentence unless she died in custody.

well each branch losing some small amount per day every day year over year. things like this are very significant for businesses. walmart drove businesses into over seas manufacturing to save a few cents on multi dollar items.

I really think the folks who get all up in arms about silencers (another legitamate word for suppressors) are being disengenous. It makes guns a fuck ton less noisy and that is what people know. No one thinks it makes them silent any more than a bow, sling, or rail gun is silent. When folks hear gunshots though they get the hell out but if “suppressed” they might react with. What is that. Thats weird.

I mean im still for it as much as I have ever been but its never been something important enough to negotiate for. I won’t give up one iota of social safetynets or civil rights or whatever for it. Of course gun control is like regulation to me. I want businesses regulated but I don’t want to throw out capitalism.

I think thats it. Its just like the majority of the country seemed to be moving forward but there was this minority which dug their heels in and don’t move on and it kinda feels like it kept growing to where its a pretty significant sized. Feels like some decided where they dug in was to progressive and are working to move backwards.

Its kinda funny. I mean not funny ha ha. How they are coming after christians. Its like every bloc that they draw from they also go after pretty good.

Guns are a good example of how everything else went. Like I believe in regulation. Allowing it to be banned on private property and at local levels if the citizen majority want it. Also to limit modern capabilities. At the same time I think it should not be banned nationally or limited to a point of not being able to work as defense or hunting or such (and I mean reasonable not bend over backward like silencers are necessary because you can’t be bothered to wear ear protection.) One side looks at me as super anti gun liberal commie etc and the other as promoting murder as such. Admitadely the one side is the average folk of the side while the other is an extreme few.

I still can’t believe how republicans just flipped out with obama.

I want to know what fraction of a percent, if any, had felonies. Most of the time when they toughted someone was a criminal it ended up being a traffic ticket.

Everything associated with trump has been ridiculous and its so crazy enough bought into it to have him back. It sucks for the people that just want what humanity should be striving for. A floor on misery.

So they so do not lose money like that in miscounts I guarantee. It would be a massive amount. I don’t know what will happen for sure but without congressional action im sure the banks will petition the fed for more pennies and if the executive still insists there is no demand it will just be another ingnore the law kind of thing.

Its not about bussinesses though. Its banks. They can’t adjust withdrawals the way businesses do prices. The two dollar bill is not a good example because its not the bottom tier currency. Its not a common currency, heck I did not even realize they did not make them anymore but I can totally believe it. Thing is a bank can give someone two singles in the case of withdrawing two dollars. When the half penny was removed by congress you could not ask for anything less than a penny anymore. This is not the case with the fed just not producing the penny. So if I want to withdraw four cents in cash what does the bank do? I meant to mention this before but the lifespan of coinage means nothing if folks are hoarding it which is what is happening with the announcement the fed will just no longer produce it. Law requires the coinage be made as demand dictates and the executive is just saying there is no demand. This is actually increasing demand and banks will have to ask for pennies and likely the fed will just have to start making them again when the supply gets low. Its funny but this action by trump will actually cost the fed because they will end up having to make more pennies that will go into hoards that are worth less than the cost to make.

half penny was removed by an act of congress so that it is no longer legal tender and was demontenized. The penny is just not being made by an executive order but a penny is still legal currency and banks have to follow laws around that.
