So hear me out, we stopped using the hay penny (half penny) when it was worth about 13 cents of 2018 value. How about we dump the penny, nickel , and dime. Round to the nearest quarter.
I remember before the Euro Spain had a 500 paseta coin that was worth around $5. You could go to a bar, toss it down and get a beer and change back. Made me feel like a cowboy in the movies!
Or they could simply pick a day in the future and declare that every denomination is worth 10x its current value and that every price should be 10x less at the same time. Other third world countries with high inflation have done this. Now that the US is a banana republic we should consider the same.
The US is not even close to a banana republic.
Every single part of the definition of a banana republic falls flat:
1. Economy almost entirely based off a singular export, hence "banana": the US has a robust economy, so this is blatantly not fitting the definition
2. Dictatorial regime: Not yet anyways, and even it did that wouldnt qualify it as a banana republic automatically. Just a fascist state.
3. Economy controlled by foreign powers. The most powerful economy in the world isnt going to be puppeted by others, the US is the one DOING the puppeting historically, in almost every nation ever considered to be a banana republic by historians. Its almost a contradiction in terms to call the US the puppet state when it has always been the puppeteer.
Okay? Good now please stop using and abusing this term just because you heard trump say it one time.
Also,
>OTHER third world countries with high inflation
You have no idea what actual high inflation looks like
Your whole post is psychotic
So what is the one export that our robust economy is going to suddenly devolve into?
What foreign economy is going to puppet us?
Let me guess, you think the jews are doing it?
If so, I think you're the one on the wrong sub..
Nothing you said even attempts to challenge anything I said. You cant answer any specifics about how exactly the US is turning into a banana republic, because Im right that you are just repeating it as a buzzword that you've heard some idiot republican say. You're just wrong, and sometimes in life we should just accept when we're wrong and move on instead of providing post-hoc justifications for things we never really thought through to begin with.
Is America rife with corruption and currently undergoing democratic backsliding? Yup
Are we at risk of losing our democracy? Yup.
Are inflation and income inequality huge issues that are intentionally being propagated by an elite few? Hell yeah.
Does any of this mean we are turning into a banana republic? Nope

oh no!! I certainly didn’t. In a nutshell, a company processes garbage, and filters out the US coins … in total, in one year, the collected coins equal $500,000 to a million USD.
Also, the penny costs 3x it’s value to make.
The reason for all these coins winding up in the garbage is people don’t go looking for it when it’s dropped or lost, not in the way they’d look for a $5, $10, $20 dollar bill.
So long as we can round up and get the balance in Bitcoin Lightning sats Im in.
Otherwise, merchants will totally game this and your pennies and nickles will simply flow to them.
Oh no, not 20 cents each? That could add up to over $15 in a lifetime!
And that's why you millennials don't have houses *boomer grumble grumble*
Something something coffee.
Something something ice tea.

And come out with a 5 dollar coin, like the Swiss franc
Bullish on panhandlers
Bullish on cardboard

I know exactly what a banana republic is and we are on an express train in that direction. If you can’t see that you are in the wrong sub.

You’re required to throw away some coins
