CGP Grey is a youtuber who made a video years ago about stopping printing the penny. when trump announced ending printing the penny, he made basically the same video about stopping printing the nickel, and the dime.
Due to Inflation.
The same reason that Bernie sanders pushed for a $15/h minimum wage, which should itself be inflated from its 2016 amount to 22 bucks an hour.
While I think both of you are making reasonable arguments, I wanted to make fun of the situation.
Sure, I mean, I’m also all for raising the minimum wage, as it’s wildly stagnated against inflation. You can be for that and for getting rid of the penny?
Idk, I just don’t understand how I’m “moving the goalposts”? Or perhaps I’ve just misunderstood the point of your comment.
I actually have seen that CGP Grey video before though, and it’s only gotten more relevant as time has gone on, lol. It doesn’t make it bad policy just because Trump is the one doing it.

CGP Grey made the video for “get rid of the penny”. When they got rid of the penny, he made the video “get rid of the nickel, and the dime.” When the original goal as getting rid of the penny, once that was achieved, he moved the goalposts to get rid of the nickel.
Your statement is in line with CGP Grey’s (correct) viewpoint.
Pointing this out in a facetious manner is meant to be humorous.
The dime is currently worth less than the halfpenny was when it stopped being minted because it wasn’t useful to do so anymore.
This is wildly overdue, and honestly, probably not far enough.
Thanks CGP Grey. You keep moving them goalposts.
Just like how the federal minimum wage needs to be over 22 dollars, not just Fif-Teen bucks an hour </bernie>
…what?
