    Will we even still use paper money by then?

    Poor people are going to be using cash for a very long time.

    I've shifted almost entirely to cash over the last four years. Sure, I'm poor, but it's also really hard to try and steal my credit card number if I'm using cash for 95% of everything I do. I'll consider switching when RFID catches on faster and in far greater numbers.




    Anyway, I don't care if Jackson stays on the front or back. I don't care who they put on the money since it spends the same no matter what. But when people start complaining that it's all about PC or erasing history or whatever dumbass thing pops into their heads, then I say we put people like Andrew Carnegie, JP Morgan, and Cornelius Vanderbilt on them. Let us remind the world what our money is really fucking all about.


    That's what all the Freemason and Illuminati imagery is for.

    Too subtle by half. We're not a nation that does subtlety. We need to remind everybody how important it is to serve our natural oligarchs. And we can put Howard Hughes on the fifty to remind people that it's still possible to become rich, too. But keep the design different to make people uncomfortable to have it.

    Oh, Steve King, we all know you're a goose. There's no need to continue to prove it.

    Wut?

    There's playing to your base in an election year and then there's this guy.

    It blocks any redesign of paper money at all, in fact, which Treasury does periodically for anti-counterfeiting anyway.

    So I guess now is a good time to get yourself a high-quality printer, a bunch of ones, and some bleach

    For some reason, I totally misred "King’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment." as "King did not immediately resign from office in response for a request for comment."

    Part of me thinks the latter is more appropriate.

    LGM headline:
    “There Are Too Many Black People On American Currency Nowadays. Please Eliminate One. I Am Not A Racist Crackpot.”

    Perhaps if we suggest putting a couple of cantaloupes on the front?

    Oh. My. God.
    He also called it “racist” and “sexist” to say that the United States should put a woman or person of color on the country’s money. “Here’s what’s really happening: This is liberal activism on the part of the president that’s trying to identify people by categories, and he’s divided us on the lines of groups,” he said. “This is a divisive proposal on the part of the president, and mine’s unifying. It says just don’t change anything.”

    The commenters make the excellent point of "what's the problem of putting on the $20 a Republican using their right to bear arms?"

    I'd still prefer Tubman but I think the idea of a well regulated militia of Republicans defending their freedom merits consideration.

    Something like the above could make for an excellent tableau.

    Tubman was a Republican, presumably.

    Southern Strategy sucked the majority of the white southern racists out of the Democratic party in order to rally the Republican base, officially turning the Republican party into the face of continued racial oppression.
    So at least they're mostly congealed into a solid high visibility mass now.

    Gosh, I thought Republicans were all about remembering history and preserving culture nowadays.

    Oh right, only if it's white.

    Instead of Tubman they'll put Reagan on it.
