Low Wages

Length of Shower: 6 min--The dollar bill is becoming, if it hasn’t already without us noticing, the lowest form of money we have.  “Loose change” as we know it is already becoming extinct.  Am I the only one who still picks up loose change off the ground anymore?  Did you know that most bars don’t even deal with change at this point; it’s all rounded to the nearest dollar.  In a while all stores and restaurants will be like that I suspect.  Pennies don’t even exist any more, except to me.  The poverty-stricken in the ghettos throw pennies at each other for fun; that’s how worthless they have become.  I can walk by the projects in a major city and find more pennies on the ground than if I went across town to the wealthy side.  Is that because the wealthy actually value loose change and the poor don’t, or is it because the wealthy have the money to keep their streets and sidewalks clean?  I don’t know, but it seems like it’s only a matter of time before all change is treated like the poor penny.  Maybe we should start collecting our pennies and loose change so it will be worth something as a collector’s item someday.  Hmm, maybe?  Actually, if we all teamed up and...oh look, a penny!
