You advance your opinion, call into question their judgment and integrity,tell them they can't be trusted, and then ask for something to lend credibility to their claims.
You're not asking a question, you're looking for a soapbox. Since you claim them to be untrustworthy, there are no answers they could give that would convince you. So why ask this question in such an inane manner?
"Its a crime that the zinc industry lobbies congress with cash every time we try to get rid of the penny. Its useless. In fact all change is. What can you really buy for less than a buck? If its less than a buck, splurge and get two."
Spoken like somebody who has never faced a tough financial period with a family. If everybody had lives as privileged as yours, then yes, change might be useless. But if you've ever had to live on a small amount of money, being forced to buy two of something that you only need one of is not reasonable.
"If I start my own restaurant, I will not take or receive change. Its heavy, and it would cost more of my employees time to count, sort, and organize the change than if they just threw it in the trash. Or maybe I could just throw it in the tip pool, and give it to them in cash later."
Are you planning on hiring simpletons that can't do those things on the fly?
