You Won’t Believe What Elon Wants to Do with Pennies!

Let me tell you about government efficiency, which is about as rare as my mother’s sympathy for my childhood neuroses. 🙄 Enter Elon Musk’s DOGE, an agency that sounds more like a rejected Pixar character than a serious government department.

Apparently, each penny costs more to produce than it’s worth – a metaphor so perfect for government bureaucracy that I’m almost tearful with laughter. At 3 cents per penny, we’re essentially paying a premium to create monetary paperweights. Taxpayers are shelling out $179 million annually to mint 4.5 billion coins that nobody really wants. It’s like buying designer shoes for a toddler who will immediately destroy them. 🤦‍♂️

A penny for your thoughts? More like three cents for your absolute nonsense! 💸

And let’s not forget nickels, those metallic martyrs costing 14 cents to produce. We’re basically running a charitable mint for zinc entrepreneurs. Canada stopped this madness in 2012, rounding cash transactions and proving once again that our neighbors to the north are marginally more sensible. 🇨🇦

Musk’s grand plan? Replace pennies with Dogecoin – because nothing says fiscal responsibility like a cryptocurrency born from an internet meme. It’s like solving your financial problems by asking a clown for investment advice. 🤡

The irony of mining a cryptocurrency that might cost more to produce than its market value is so delicious, I’m tempted to serve it with a side of sarcasm. Some DOGE miners are essentially burning electricity to generate digital confetti. Brilliant! 🔥

In the end, we’re left with a government that spends more creating money than the money is worth. It’s performance art masquerading as economic policy. And honestly? I’m here for the comedy. 😂
