The other day a friend and I stopped at a convenience store to pick up a few things and the total came to, I think it was, $3.97. Handed the clerk four bucks and she asked "Do you want your change?" I thought it was a strange question, but no, three cents just ain't worth being concerned about. Normally I would just put it in the "take a penny" tray anyway.
I guess now I know why.
I also think maybe people are going to start figuring out why shutting down an economy is not a smart move, no matter the reason. The economy is a vibrant, living thing that grows to adapt to whatever the conditions are at the moment. It cannot be micromanaged, any more than one can micromanage blood chemistry. One change here can affect 100 things over there in very bad ways.
BTW, I am still convinced there will be an announcement any day now that toilet paper carries the virus... popcorn is at the ready!
