Truth to Power

Why are we advertising the $100 bill?

Exactly how much is our campaign to roll out the new $100 bill costing us? And why the hell are we advertising MONEY?

This isn’t the first new design of a bill…folks should be rather acclimated to the concept of stupid colors and silly graphics on their money by now. And its not as if you have a choice of where you get a single bill worth 100 dollars, now is it? This is akin to the post office advertising and sponsoring sporting events…WHY?

One of the benefits of being a federally-controlled monopoly is…you don’t need to FUCKING ADVERTISE! You need to mail a letter? One carrier. You need a $100 bill? One place makes ‘em.

Or perhaps I’m grossly underestimating the level of stupid I’m surrounded by. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time.
