Understanding Inflation & the need for proper adjustments for cash transactions
At risk of being accused of hijacking this thread ... but it is related ... so I just want to make a point.
Here in the USA we have people saying that the dollar coin proponents are just a bunch of mining companies who have a conflict of interest. That does not hold water ... simply because those same mining companies ARE NOT OPPOSING THE ELIMINATION OF THE PENNY & even possibly our nickel. To not be good stewards over our resources is a mistake.
I have visited Winnipeg & sure there are definitely differences between our two countries. That does not mean that Americans should not learn from our Canadian neighbors ... especially when they clearly prove that they made the right choices on a specific issue. Hopefully, we Americans are worthy of the same consideration from Canadians ... when valid evidence is in our favor ... that we are more in the right!
