I’ve learned a lot about the faces on out fiat currency over the past year. For example, Alexander Hamilton was a worthless asshole, deserving to be replaced on the $10 bill, until the super popular, liberally favored, smash hit play, Hamilton, seized audiences en masse–causing the Treasury to forgo their plans to oust the old founder of the American banking system.
President Andrew Jackson wasn’t liked when he was alive, even less so when dead. Apparently, he was a giant dick, sashaying throughout the country, committing genocide against the Native American population. Previous generations granted President Jackson a portrait on the coveted $20 bill–because they were racist, ignorant, knuckle-draggers, and not the sophisticated Chardonnay drinkers like us.
It is widely believed that Secretary Lew will announce plans to punt Jackson and keep Hamilton this week (thank heavens for Broadway plays). Replacing Jackson will be a woman who will remind us how racist and awful we all are, guilting us into donating said $20 bills to homeless men in the streets, in order to relieve us of our white privilege.
Once decided, the sloths in the government will take 15 years to implement the changes.
Why?
Because they’re astoundingly inefficient people.
The new bills will be unveiled for circulation around the year 2030.
