No more penny! What's the catch?

Cuts the US Mint's budget by 4% or $192 mil/year. Only cuts fed budget by 0.00003%. Drop, meet bucket.

W/out the penny, prices round up 5β‚΅ & cause an inflationary effect, negatively affecting those w/ limited incomes & historically marginalized communities. Bingo!

I read the Immortals series last year and loved the story, characters, and world building. I'm halfway through The Good House and am enthralled. I'm grateful to have found a new favorite author. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.

Jay Graber's net worth is $5M, and is expected to soar if Bluesky sustains current growth by exploiting users' screen addiction & narcissism like any other platform. Users seeking a space less toxic, less politically biased, and free from government/oligarchy control.

Refuge or more refuse?
