It's difficult to improve people's lives with healthcare when the Oregon healthcare website, to this day, after spending untold riches, has yet to successfully sign a single person up for healthcare.

Oregon spent 303 million dollars in federal grants on a website that doesn't work at all, and then advertised that website on television over and over again. That is incredible, and people should be fired and perhaps even investigated.

Nobody gives a gently caress about the Coyotes anymore, since they killed the fanbase by moving the team to Glendale. Glendale is the US version of Potemkin villages. Outside of Cardinals games and Coyotes games, and concerts/expos, there's nothing to do out there.

Holding hockey games 45 minutes to an hour away from the main cities of the metropolitan Phoenix population centers was a terrible idea to begin with. When they were in downtown Phoenix, they did decent numbers.

Hell, in hindsight, putting an NHL team in ARIZONA was a terrible idea to begin with. The hockey fans that do exist here have no loyalty to the Coyotes, because they all grew up elsewhere with different teams. Don't listen to hysterical lady Coyotes fan. The only time the Coyotes sell out that arena is when Original Six or California teams are playing. I went to a Coyotes/Wings playoff game a few years ago, and 60% of the place was wearing Detroit jerseys. Myself included. The Coyotes overall home attendance numbers are atrocious.

In the 2011-2012 season, they won their first division title ever, and made it all the way to the conference finals. They had a good team that was fun to watch. Their attendance numbers that year? Dead last in the league. You could fit every single diehard Coyotes fan in this state into a bingo hall.

Glendale was absolutely right in refusing to continue their financial support for an NHL money pit.

I keep all my change, and at the end of each month, drop it into a Coinstar machine and cash it out.

Yeah, Coinstar takes 10 cents from every dollar, but it beats rolling it and taking it to bank. I usually have 30-40 dollars in change at the end of each month.

My "Cash, most of the time" policy is backed up by the fact that many years ago, my debit information was stolen by some sort of malicious device affixed to a gas station pump.

The following day, my bank called me and said they placed a temporary lock on my account because they thought it was unusual that someone two states over tried to buy $1,800 dollars in electronics at a Wal-Mart.

Ever since then, I only use plastic if I absolutely, positively have to. And even then, I won't hand my card over to anyone. I have to be able to swipe it myself. Otherwise, no dice.

This is true, but I only ever walk around with 40-60 dollars on me at any time (for incidental purchases like gas or lunch). When I do a large amount of grocery shopping, and I know it's going to be 200-300 bucks spread over several stores, I use my card.

All that being said, pennies are dumb as gently caress and should eventually be phased out. Aside from being used as a convenience tax for the Coinstar machine, I don't think i've paid for anything using pennies (in conjunction with other coinage) for quite some time.

FetusSlapper posted:

It kind of seems like you're self-inflicting a large hassle on yourself(loving 30-40 dollars worth of coins per month) on a preposterous ideal that you're already violating most of the time.

I just toss the change in a jar when I get home and cash it out at the end of the month. Takes 60 seconds. Aside from groceries, I pay for almost everything else with cash. It's not too big of a hassle.
