I agree.  Especially when one heck of a lot of tips aren't ever reported.

If the no tax on tips gets passed I will tell you one thing for me.  My tipping will immediately go down to next to nothing.  I don’t see why the dishwashers in the restaurant or cook staff need to be paying taxes on their $15/hr or whatever they make but the tipped staff gets tax free treatment on most of their income.   
Or a teacher getting taxes on income but waiter isn’t, or a policeman or firefighter etc….  
 

I just don’t understand how more people aren’t complaining about this

 
This has been talked about for a long time.  I'm still very interested in how this is going to work.  We will have some pennies in circulation for a long time.  However, if there's a time when we don't, I'm not sure how change will be made in certain situations when someone pays with cash.  Will everyone just round up to the nearest nickel?

Yes, it will be rounded to the nickel. The same way fractional pennies are already rounded.

One other fun fact is the price of gas is $3.18.  The guy you source as the expert says he was sure it was gonna be over $3.50 a gallon in April and May.   It’s May 24th btw.  
 

Gas was $3.60 a year ago.

Yep….the price did shoot up but not as far as he said. 
 

I believe that’s when OPEC started increasing production. 
 

Another fun fact, the guy you voted for at least twice thinks gas is under $2.
