So now when I pay cash, and I am due 16 cents change. A store will not want to eat the extra 4 cents, and give me 20 cents. I may be told I cannot get correct change. UNLESS, I don't use cash to pay. But MAGA can't see the forest for the trees on this one... We are moving to a casheless society, at MAGA speed, formerly known as Warp Speed!
It cost more to make more than just pennies. Due to the deflation of our currency. Via a Federal Reserve system, that will be more empowered now. Coins come from the US mint, they are not debt notes like Federal Reserve notes, aka dollars.
Remember how I survived that one day of farming in frigid Florida winter?
I don’t either.
The cold front, or “winter” as it’s called everywhere else, is over for now in Florida. After temperatures dropping in the 20s, we are back to high 70s & the beach. I still remember numb fingers while milking goats, wearing 4 layers to feed chickens, and seeing my breath. My sun-hat is off to those farming up north, just beginning to hunker down in the cold. One of the reasons we moved back to Florida from Washington state is that we like living in the country and raising animals, but I grew up in Florida so my tolerance for cold is low. Dealing with frozen water troughs, bursting pipes, numb toes - it’s just not my forté. My insulated overalls are back in the closet, waiting for a few more opportunities to work before spring break.
Spotted “Daddy” and “Mommy” cow over at the neighbor’s again today. Hot wire is in the near future but until then, we’re grateful for patient neighbors and cows who will at least return when called for dinner.
Lily and I had dreamed up a jam business recently after making some with our friend’s roselle - the “Florida cranberry”. Unfortunately after our first batch, his whole row of bushes died in this week’s frost. So, I will have to go back to selling fermented cod liver / butter oil! 🤣(Link below)
