Surely you've noticed the dearth of $10-bills lately; instead of one of these we're always getting two fives. And it's not like cashiers are hoarding them: peek into their trays and they're empty. I have managed to collect four of them so far this week, and that's more I think, than I've seen all year.

I've yet to develop a complete picture of what I believe to be going on here (or one that's in the very least adequate, even for a nobody's blog), but suffice to say that it's my proof of the Establishment trying to further our nation's descent to third-world status by eliminating the middle class.
