    The only reason we still have pennies is the zinc mining companies bribing Congress. They’re the only losers here. (And they aren’t just going to close the zinc mines. So, the workers/miners probably won’t even be hurt. Just some owners/shareholders.)

      bribing Congress

      exactly.

      i’m all for getting rid of it. but this goes through congress, first. then they send it to the white house for a signature.

      a president, and i don’t give a fuck who it is, can’t rewrite legislation, or the constitution, whenever or however the fuck they want.
