Suggestions

It is very much my suggestion that if you have 117, 000 something dollars in your bank account, you should not read the statement from said bank account in public where other people can see it. If you do decide that you are going to be this kind of stupid for the love of god the red line is not the place to do it. It's stupid enough to wear your full length fur coat into the subway, please please keep the amount of money in your bank account to yourself. I'm not saying this because I'm bitter that you have money and I don't. I'm saying this for your own good. Take the brown or purple line. The more civilized riders of our public transit system use those. I mean do you know where the red line comes from, and where it goes to. I mean I know it goes through Lincoln Park, and the Gold coast, but still they will rob you. I'm just saying that if you need to check your statement, and you have that much money, you don't need to show the world. Your just going to make it harder for yourself, and really really easy for anyone who wants to fuck with you. Thats all I'm saying.

Here's the problem

Now wonder things are all messed up. Did you know that the penny and the nickel both cost more to make or mint, than they are worth. I'm not making this up 60 minutes did a special, and of course since I was bored today. First I tried to make a skirt out of a pair of jeans and like a 1/4 of the way through I got bored. Anyways this penny thing really stuck with me. Now I'm not saying we should do away with pennies, but why are we spending twice as much to mint them as they are worth. I mean doesn't say something about their value if technically speaking you can't even buy a penny with a penny. I don't really understand how all of that makes sense. Whats the point. Besides wasting money. I mean seriously it isn't like you can buy anything with a penny. The nickel cost more than a nickel to make also. All I'm saying is only in America could have money that's worth less than it cost to make it. There's even a bill that makes it illegal to melt down pennies and nickels. Since again they are worth more melted than as money. Its all just crazy. Take the damn penny out of circulation, melt down all that money, and pay off some bills. Thats what I would do, but thats just me.
