We should also kill the nickel and paper dollar at this point.

Nickels and dimes sure. Not sure why you'd ditch the dollar yet, it still has buying power. And dropping paper dollars for dollar coins is pants on head levels of stupid

I really hope you're not advocating for a cashless society.

[–] DragonSidedD@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'm ready for that possibility

Great, so throw every homeless or vulnerable person, abuse victims, children, etc who do not have access to a bank account or phone into a completely worse state. Food? Busses? For any of these people they are just now off the table. Eliminate whole sects of the restaurant, service, and gig economy industry overnight and millions will lose their jobs. The amount of people who work under the table at restaurants is outstanding.

Nickel I agree with, but I feel like the the paper dollar is a bit much. Why do you want to get rid of the paper dollar too?
