  • You make it clear that you don’t like new things. You really need to recognize that this makes it difficult for your loved ones to buy you gifts. I’m old enough that I generally don’t want anything for Christmas or my birthday. I have enough stuff. What I want is time to spend with the people I love. That doesn’t mean I refuse gifts or complain about them, because a gift means that someone saw something that made them think of you; and they bought it for you to celebrate your relationship. So even if it’s a bad gift, it’s coming from a good place.










  • Exactly! TBH, I’m surprised. The GOP’s God King said, “make it so,” and they haven’t done his bidding. The one time their spineless adherence to anything Trump wants could’ve actually been popular, and we get nothing. An astonishing level of incompetence! For shits and giggles, a Democrat should push for the bill to be taken up, just to watch the GOP leadership shoot it down because they can’t take credit for it. An official “not like that.”


  • Apparently it causes issues in some states.

    … issues that would not be rendered moot by the supremacy clause of the Constitution!? If Congress passes a law saying that because the federal currency will no longer include a $0.01 denomination, all cash transactions must be (either rounded to the nearest $0.05, or must have change values in multiples of $0.05), states are obliged to follow this law. As it is, the mint will just stop making a kind of money, leaving states in the lurch, and potentially inviting lawsuits from state attorneys general.
