They say that, although a long part of America's history, having two seperate currencies with easily calculable exchange rates (cents and dollars) will be confusing to first-time users of money. They also think that people shouldn't get the daily bonus of stopping in the street to notice that somebody dropped a dime because it's a drain on the economy and it makes everything free. Additionally, because most transactions happen with dollars, they think that smaller denominations of money are pointless.

To compensate for the loss of cents, the government is going to be giving free hats to everyone. Because, y'know, that makes sense.

I came here expecting you to be telling people to shut up about the Tickets thing. Instead I got this masterpiece. "First time users of money" killed me.

ROBLOX is a private company so what the hell does it have to do with the federal government?

Thank you.

"Finally."

I'm not quitting ROBLOX; I'm quitting the federal government.

"We all know the federal government is a bunch of idiots."

Much like the staff of which company that we're familiar with?

"ROBLOX is a private company so what the hell does it have to do with the federal government?"

Everything.

The federal government is a euphemism for the Roblox devs. Didn't you know that?

To celebrate the destruction of a smaller denomination of money, the government is going to be finally lifting the worldwide ban on people actually making hats themselves instead of needing government-licensed people to do it. Well, probably. In all honesty the government's probably only going to let maybe eight or nine people actually make hats. Which is stupid and has nothing to do with the removal of cents!

The government is not removing cents out of economic need, they just think that they're free money and confusing for first time users. In fact, in the same news article that I read about the cents thing and the hats thing, it mentions the completely unrelated thing about how the government is going to be hiring forty new people! Which actually isn't that much considering the size of America, but still, if they were losing money then why hire people? The new people that are going to be hired are going to be in charge of making more stupid decisions, because it's a responsibility that the people with actual jobs can no longer be bothered to do anymore.

Pretty sure everyone is on board that it's a stupid change that will probably make most of us quit, but the whole government thing is silly.

The government announced in the future that they will not just give away free hats, but they'll also give more hats away to people who complete whatever trivial tasks they can think of, such as entering someone's house for a certain amount of time. Also you have no say in which hats you get.

Also, because there's a month before cents are removed, the government will be spending that month selling hats that can only be purchased with coins. Why, you may ask? Well, because the government is run by lizard people from space and Obama is the illuminati.

Oh, and tix aren't a second part of ROBUX, they're a different currency in general in which both are exchangeable. Its like if a country had two different common currencies, its awkward, sure, but its nothing like dollars and cents.

Oh but they'll be lowering the dollar cost of items from 10 to 5 so that they're more affordable to the people who have NO dollars, and likely no means to aquire them.

Well then Pirate, that makes no sense at all. I think that we can all agree that the federal government is full of idiots in this regard, can we not?
