Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

And thus it was so.
Also, death to pennies! Should have been abolished 10 years ago.
I feel like every few months, I hear about the hypothetical disbanding of pennies, and I'm always all for it. But it's such a low-tier issue that within minutes, I always completely forget about the very idea,

Keep up the fight, comrade! We will storm the barricades of the penny lovers and finally disband those tiny, economically harmful and monetarily near-worthless discs forever, once and for all!

There's a psychological effect. A lot of people read "$1.99" or "$1.95" and internally process it at "$1", when $2 is more appropriate.
It happens with big ticket items too - a $41,000 car doesn't look $1,000 more expensive than $39,995 car. To the average person, it looks $10,000 more expensive.

Yeah, I remember hearing that's why they do it. I still hate it.
