We lose more money on nickels than on pennies

Seems that the US Mint is stopping production of Pennies, having said that they will not order an more blanks for minting…Because pennies cost more than 2 cents to make

 

Thing is, nickels cost much more than 5 cents to produce, and dimes cost more than ten cents…..Are they gonna stop them too? The logical move is that they should, simply because if it is the cost of production as a reason then they should start with nickels….

I’d rather see a change in the coins rather than simply removing the….make ’em with a hole in the center or something…

After all, a dollar bill is simply a medium of exchange, a symbol, as it were. It has no real value…..what matters isn’t the cost of the item, but what it represents….

 

At the end of it, if we would stop devaluing our money, then we’d not have this problem….

Wed words of Wisdom 35

 

 

“Speak kindly to yourself, even when you fail”

“Also be your harshest critic”

“Life is hard enough, don’t help it be harder”

“That which leaves, friend or lover, was never truly yours.”

“The most common way to give up your power is to think you have none”

“Nothing in this world that’s worth having comes easy.”

“That which you allow is what will continue”

“You will never be who you want to be until you are happy with who you are”

“The good friend, the best partner, is not threatened by your success, they will be excited to be a part of your next chapter”

“The most dangerous person: The one who listens, thinks, and observes”

Gee, climate change before Modern Man….

Seems that something like 7000 to 140 thousand years ago, mankind (Homo-Erectus, our ancestors) were hunting in low lying areas…

Then the Glaciers melted and now all we have is fossil evidence of them in the lowlying seabeds off of India…

Climate Change seems to have caused the seas to rise by several tens of meters. ..inundating the lowlands…

Musta been all those SUV’s that Homo Erectus were driving round, or the burning of coal in those power plants back then that led to the temp rise and the melting of the glaciers …..

Take a moment,

Raise a glass, look, up, whatever.

Think of who made sacrifices for your freedom.

Remember

Just to yourself, maybe, say a a prayer of thanks.

They deserve at least that.

 

Now enjoy your day.

George Floyd

(scheduled)

Today marks the anniversary of his death:

 

A career felon, high on fentanyl, who dies while being restrained by the police….breathing in enough air to loudly tell everyone “I can’t breath”

All the reports that I see still claim that he was killed by Derek Chauvin, the police officer who restrained him by “Kneeling on his neck” …

The left is, of course, perpetrating the lie, because a riled up black population is willing to listen to them when they claim they will fix things….which they haven’t for the entirety of my lifetime….But they vote regularly for the people that make empty promises…Which makes them still useful

There will be protests today…..about what is somewhat unclear, but protests there will be…(likely mostly white people, especially women, ridden with guilt)

and none of it will change the fact that George Floyd could have survived had he not struggled once caught, struggled like an animal….and had he not committed the crimes in the beginning, Cold have survived had he not had a load of fentanyl in his system that would have killed the average man immediately…..

 

But the left still finds it useful to blame everyone else but him and the culture that engendered him and the people like him….and the people that made money off of his death are still milking the populace for donations.

Offline for bit

Read the folks on the sidebar links, they are smarter than me and write better anyway.

 

May be back sooner, maybe later,

In the meantime, remember the folks we are Memorializing on this Memorial Day….

It ain’t just about a three day weekend.

So it has been 4 years

since we got rid of that racist and repressive brand called “Aunt Jemima” and changed it to “Pearl Milling Company” because it was, apparently the root cause of the Black community’s failings….

 

So, 4 years on, have the issues with the Black community fixed themselves? Has the poverty rate, the crime rate, the rate of single motherhood, the lack of black high school student graduates,  the rampant drug use,  and all their other ills, suddenly gotten better?

Has anything improved since we buried Aunt Jemima?
