Musk's DOGE Takes Aim at the Penny

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

This is your big savings?

How do you eat an elephant?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I know all about CCs. I've had the same card for thirty years with no annual fee and cash back as well. I also pay it in full every month. I am also aware that CC companies can change the terms any time they want -- Citibank is famous for it. Don't get me wrong, I believe there is a time and place for them, but I still believe cash is king and I really like the anonymity of using cash.

Why are you doing things where you need to be anonymous?

 

[Concerned American]

same here but I never had citi change any terms on me ever and the few times somehow my card got hacked they were quick to block it, send me an alert to ask if the charge is legit or not and send me a new card overnight
cash is only good in that sense if you are doing something you don't want your bank to see
strip clubs perhaps? bars and escorts?

Ammunition purchases. And watch your communications with Citi, that's why I dropped them. I even had Citi refuse to cash a refund check written on a Citi account from SEARS. They absolutely REFUSED, told me to take it to my own bank. LOL, what would have happened if I didn't have a bank? I wouldn't trust Citi to walk my dog.

Why do you want to know? Its none of your business.

How much did it cost to change the die casting for the US penny during the Biden administration? What was the freaking point? Chinese dies?

Guilty conscience I see!

Strip clubs? Escort services? Drugs?

Ammunition. I am not guilty of anything other than being protective of my privacy. Have you got a problem with that comrade?

It's a joke, not a dick! Don't take it so hard, pussy!

The only pussy here is the valor thief who claims to be an admiral.

I never claimed to be an admiral. You are mistaken once again. I was a lieutenant commander.

You're a liar too. Let remind you of the first word in your handle. Are you a DEI hire? How did you ever become an officer? Never mind, you just confirmed what enlisted people have known forever.

I was enlisted and an officer. If you don't recognize a movie character, that's your issue.

And a liar.

YUM! I loved the mini malted milk balls.

How about licorice records and wax coke bottles?

Wow. I remember the wax coke bottles.

I remember when finding a penny on the sidewalk made me feel rich! It meant I could go to the corner store and get a root beer barrel, which meant about a half hour of sweet fun!


.

Me too, and like Scrooge McDuck I would be scanning the ground for more.

"In Harm's Way", great movie. JW is still my all-time favorite actor.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

About time.

I was in the Army in German in the early and late 80's. The PX, the Commisary, the liquor store didn't take or give pennies. They rounded.

The only place I got pennies was from the post office.

We did not miss them at all.

The Syrian who ran the convenience store across the street didn't use pennies either. He rounded.

 

[Woodznutz]

Pennies were useful back when they had value.

They will go the way of the mill coin.

My ACE hardware store asked if I would round up the cost of my purchase, the pennies would then be given to charity. I guess it didn't work so well as they have abandoned it. It was bogus from the start as almost no one actually pays in cash. Credit cards aren't inconvenienced by numbers containing 'pennies'.
