- 1:15Speaker 1: is in your right now. This is stream thinking. Today
- 1:19Speaker 1: we're reading from October twenty fifth, twenty twenty five. Are
- 1:23Speaker 1: the days of pennies finally falling from heaven. Over this week,
- 1:29Speaker 1: many companies around the United States began a new program
- 1:32Speaker 1: that actually rounds down how much the customers or guests
- 1:36Speaker 1: are going to get with their services. The idea is
- 1:40Speaker 1: to stop the flow of the US penny. Yeah, the
- 1:43Speaker 1: US mint has stopped making them. It's time to step
- 1:46Speaker 1: into a brand new world that doesn't include our copper
- 1:48Speaker 1: little friends. My question is always based solely on the
- 1:52Speaker 1: what if factor, because we are becoming that digital generation.
- 1:57Speaker 1: The question is will anybody even remember this? Because what
- 2:01Speaker 1: was the penny actually providing? Now by the time that
- 2:05Speaker 1: I get to this recording, I do wonder how the
- 2:09Speaker 1: financial world is going to change or did it? We
- 2:13Speaker 1: all make up stories, all right? This was written on
- 2:16Speaker 1: October twenty fifth, twenty twenty five. Today's date is July
- 2:20Speaker 1: thirty first, twenty twenty six, so almost one full year
- 2:24Speaker 1: has gone by the pennies are gone. One of my
- 2:28Speaker 1: essential jobs. I work at a grocery store because I
- 2:31Speaker 1: just like being with people. And besides that, I'm going
- 2:34Speaker 1: to cross the line for some I said to God,
- 2:37Speaker 1: give me a church, give me a place where I
- 2:39Speaker 1: can be with real people, where they're not trying to
- 2:41Speaker 1: look like the preacher guy. And you know what the
- 2:44Speaker 1: guy did. Yeah, that holy figure in Heaven gave me
- 2:48Speaker 1: a job at a grocery store where there are no
- 2:51Speaker 1: more pennies. And the thing about it is, though, is
- 2:54Speaker 1: that the consumer is not losing. If I owe you
- 2:57Speaker 1: a penny, I'm actually going to give you a nickel back.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Now here's how I'm thinking. The business just lost four cents.
- 3:06Speaker 1: This country took out the penny because it was costing
- 3:10Speaker 1: more to make them than what it was valued at.
- 3:14Speaker 1: So a company has to give you four cents because
- 3:17Speaker 1: we don't have pennies. But the US government won't fork
- 3:21Speaker 1: out that four cents to put pennies back on the market.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Who here's the thing. How much money is that company
- 3:31Speaker 1: that you just put that money into? How much are
- 3:34Speaker 1: they over charging you therefore that four cents? Eh, we
- 3:40Speaker 1: didn't miss a thing. I'm marrow and that's stream thinking.
