Penny Wise, Pound Foolish 0

Or something like that.

Duncan wonders why the Secretary of the Treasury believes that getting rid of the penny would be politically impossible.

I have a theory.

Does anyone seriously believe that, if the penny disappeared, prices would be rounded to the nearest nickel?

Noooooooooooooooo, Inflation Breath.

Our Wonderful American Business Community(tm) would, without doubt, round everything up.

Remember, this is the same Wonderful American Business Community(tm) that thought Liar’s Loans were a wonderful idea.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
