That's just dumping the issue on the next generation. The solution would be different if we lived forever, I think.

- TylerE 6y agoBut again - the next generation has to do deal with it ANYWAY. Why not do what we can today? It literally costs MORE THAN A PENNY to make a penny. We would save over $70 million a year just by stopping making pennies.
- mpd 6y agoMy point is that it's wasting time and dumping problems on the future. There are stronger measures that can be taken, if the problem really needs to be solved. "Fuck it, let someone else fix it." - I'm sick of this.
- TylerE 6y agoI'm confused. "Fuck it, let someone else fix it." seems to be exactly what you're advocating. You can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good - that just keeps anything from happening. 100% solutions do not exist in the real world. This is sorta like saying "Why send a man to the moon, when we can't send even send an astronaut to the surface Venus?"
- mpd 6y agoNo, I'm advocating fixing the problem with stronger measures if the really want to fix the problem. > You can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good - that just keeps anything from happening. Cool story, but they as well schedule the session to get rid of the nickel now. > 100% solutions do not exist in the real world. A little hyperbolic here. This is of course false.
- TylerE 6y agoBig change is scary. It is much easier to sell getting rid of the nickel after successfully getting rid of the penny.
