America Must Free Itself from the Tyranny of the Penny
Few things symbolize our national dysfunction as much as this accursed coin, which we mint by the millions because it’s too worthless to spend.
Interesting article about the Penny and how it highlights our dysfunction as a nation. I've often said that we're not "adult" enough to admit when things aren't working or when things do not work as well as they should (in my case, often remarking about our 237 y/o business model and thinking it doesn't need regular updating to remain relevant). This article is along those same lines.
