Not even the entire woke MSM could stop him. Not all woke Hollywood could stop him. The Entire woke Establishment failed to stop him. All the bent polls trying to make it look like he was losing, they couldn't stop him. He got the clean sweep. It's great news, it shows we no longer believe the Media, no longer trust Celebs. It's great. And now, the US IT industry will benefit from rightwing economics, again. I'm European, and I wish he would tear up the EU Dictatorship, too, which has failed to nurture an I

Huh? it seems like most folks here (including myself):
a) Hate Trump.
b) Think that this individual policy is a good idea.
I can't think of many other examples of b), but this is a pretty weird example on which to make your claim.

I'd consider that a better policy is not to abandon a coin that is worthless due to inflation but to reverse the rapid pace of inflation. However, re-valuing the currency is more painful than pissing off Illinois by taking away the one cent piece. Do their toll roads still accept them at the automated pay stations? They used to.

Even if you reverse inflation you're not bringing down prices and making the penny relevant without deflation (which is NASTY).
Though, this might not be as good a policy as I first thought since everyone else did it through legislative action, which included formal rules about how to handle prices.
Just not printing pennies is leaving the job only half-done, and now retailers are kinda screwed when doing cash transactions and there's no way to make proper change.
