The people who gave us Shakespeare are the same people who gave us Benny Hill...

Oh god, now I picture someone putting on a production of Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet, with Yakety Sax on loop in the background.  :bouncegiggle:

I wonder how US Mint workers feel about overtime, knowing the harder they work, the less the paper & coin is worth..

US mint workers don't set interest rates so you can't blame them. besides most of the billions being created just exist on a computer screen.

No, you missed my point entirely; I was talking about devalue by volume.
And I wasn't joking, I really do wonder how the blue collar end of the process feel about it.

I think I got it: when they are asked to work overtime, they are in effect making their effective pay rate lower because the additional money printed during the overtime devalues the currency they are paid in.

I'm not very good at juggling, but I enjoy it. I'd go with you except I'm on the other side of the nation.

Used to work at a radio station, part of my job was broadcasting high school and college games. Didn't mind it so much then. It's really more of how the general public won't shut up about it when the season starts, you know?
