Comment Totally Stupid (Score 1) 898
There may be good reasons to make currency in different sizes.
However, it seems crazy to force all cash-register-using merchants in the us to throw away the old machines and buy new ones. It seems crazy to make every ATM across American useless. Likewise machines that sell cigarettes or stamps or anything else that accepts bills, or bill changers. It seems lunatic to cause the kind of chaos to manufacturers of any kind of machine that processes bills.
This is causing chaos to the multitude to provide special privilege to the small group, and it's crazy. Or, more exactly, it's just stupid. It is roughly equivalent to outlawing CRT monitors or paintings in museums because blind persons cannot see them.
If you also think it's stupid, then give the judge's office a call and let him know it's stupid. The phone number is (202) 354-3460. (I'm not blabbing any secrets. Web search on 'U.S. District Judge James Robertson' presents the phone number to you.)
