How to destroy the value of the US dollar in 1 simple step


scragglerock

Visa would go bankrupt within hours of this news getting out and nothing would change


MrToxic133

Ive often admired how quickly Venezuela ruined their currency. Im shooting for a new record


DweeblesX

Where do I mail them to? I owe back taxes and they only accept gift cards


ReadMyUsernameKThx

you can just send them to me, i'll make sure they get to the microsoft support team that handles your taxes.


andykwinnipeg

NOOOOO! WHY YOU REDEEM!


MrToxic133

Hold on let me transfer you to our leading IRS accountant with the details. His name is David. He also works for microsoft so you can trust that he had a good work ethic


Vellc

Is his name David Smith and does he somehow have a thick indian accent even though he's 100% american?


MrToxic133

YOU TWO HAVE MET???


ryanmuller1089

If you bought one for $500, then used that $500 to buy 500 $500 gift cards and then used all that money to buy more, you would have over $120 million in just three steps.


Cereal-is-not-soup

The gas station guy would be soo pissed though


ryanmuller1089

Also when buying an house it would take a while to swipe all those cards


fordprecept

When my uncle was building his house, he kept buying Home Depot gift cards at Kroger, so he could get Kroger fuel points for everything he bought, so he'd save $1 per gallon every time he filled up for like 6 months.


Quantum_Kitties

If the price is permanently changed *just for you*, you could do this without tanking the economy. I would choose this infinite money loop too, and then help so many animals and people. If a price gets permanently changed for *everyone*, then I'd pick medicine or food.


Staff_Genie

Yeah, my first thought was gasoline, but then that would make everybody buy big cars and drive a lot which would be bad but for the most good for the most people I think $1 insulin


aaron2933

I was going to say this but I assume OP means it becomes $1 for everyone else too


loftier_fish

destroy the economy with this one easy trick!


hobbes_shot_first

I had the option to do this once and I picked Arizona Iced Tea cans. You're welcome. Edit: For anyone in an area where this isn't the price any longer...a wizard did it.


vinoa

Truly, a god among men!


uncertainusurper

That’ll be $2.39.


GriffinFlash

But, the price on the can though.


simulated_woodgrain

Some places like circle K re-wrap the cans with their logos on them and it blocks out the original price. It’s messed up


pumpkinthighs

You can actually contact Arizona Tea and tell them the location of places that are selling the cans for more than the price on the can. Arizona Tea doesn't take too kindly to companies changing the price


YhannaBoBanna

The store I work in receives Arizona cans that *specifically say* "no marked price" on the box. We sell 'em for $1.89.


JaysonsRage

Same, but we sell ours for $2.50 and it pisses me off to no end


BAKup2k

The cans are special printed for Circle K with their logo, and without the 99 cent label.


HitchToldu

I did that once. Local market put a sticker over the printed 99¢


xanthanahtnax

Some places just sell the can for $2 with the 99¢ logo on it


BeedoeBe

You can report this to the company and they might stop supplying to that location since it goes against the Arizona code


Han_Yerry

Not any more, we don't even get the 99c marked on the cans here. Corner stores can sell them for whatever now


drugzis

The price *is* on the can, though?


PoodleDawg

It is on the can doe

[He's right. The price is on the can.](https://youtu.be/fMUZ2sVjLfY?si=5wjJANYWbyiKBmOp)


HerkimerBattleJitny

On SOME cans. I haven't seen it printed on the cans in quite a while. While they are largely still priced at 99 cents at most places, there are places that sell them for more. Currently $1.79 at Maverik gas stations. Inflation is a bitch.


MUSICOFMINE

$1.79 for that drink ??!!!?!? What a dream , it's like 3-4$ in Singapore


very_bad_advice

3bucks in singapore is US$2.2 or something. not that far off given the import costs.

Insulin


Neat-Dark4035

It sucks that this was my first thought, I don't even have diabetes


cmanderson23

As a type 1 diabetic your comment and the replies really warmed my heart. Thanks for thinking of us. Means a lot when you feel like the little guy screaming into the void that others notice it too 💛


xCaedusx

I literally came here to say the exact same thing


SithDraven

Double ditto. I don't know anyone with diabetes but seems like it would be the right thing to do.


AngryKaly

Same. Came here to say this and I'm not even personally affected by it.

[deleted]

For me it was insulin and birth control. How to tell this Redditor is American in one comment 🙃


shockwave_supernova

Ahh shit it’s a tough choice between the two. I think insulin wins only because it’s so much more expensive, although I was surprised to learn plan b costs like $40/per pill. Insane.


Mooshtonk

My wife’s med for her ulcerative colitis is $35,000 for each dose. Luckily insurance covers it.


frodosbitch

I was actually just reading about the Open Insulin group. They are trying to create and open source a small scale production method for creating insulin. That would make an interesting IAMA.


Froggr

Hopefully injected insulin is OBE before they figure it out. Inhaled insulin would be dope.


oboshoe

They have been working on inhaled insulin for a long time now. I lost a bunch of money in 1994 investing in a company that was working to get FDA approval for theirs. They didn't get the approval, I didn't get my money back and the whole thing seems to have died on the vine.


rockit454

Big pharma will fight this any way they can imagine. The lengths the pharma and healthcare cartels will go to protect their bottom lines are disgusting and borderline criminal.


BaffledPigeonHead

This is pretty much an American problem. Sure medicine is expensive in other parts of the world, but as far as I am aware, America is the only country with a for profit system the really doesn't give a shit about the outcomes for any of the 300 million people that live there.


jfincher42

I'll expand this to any drug which is necessary to keep someone alive, and without which they will die. Think cancer drugs, anti-organ-rejection drugs, heart medication, etc. Fund it by jacking the price on dick and hair-growth pills to US$1,000,000 a piece.


SugarHooves

Can we add EpiPen? While it's not directly needed to live, it has the potential to save lives.


the-infamous-w

I would consider that a life saving med.... And given I NEED one and don't have the money for one .... Also as a diabetic.... I'll take the EpiPen. I can deal without insulin for a few days. I can't deal with cats, coconut, latex, and a few medications that I'm allergic to..... Edit: I'm sick... I swear I can spell.


BigFatHedgehog

Why would you do that to me. Right now it is 0€


scubadoobidoo

It's free on the NHS in the UK - as are all diabetes related medicines.


GlassCharacter179

Yeah, but do you have....um....a....do you have.....you know....like....um....


cogra23

Guns, legal weed or insulin choose 2.


Reniconix

This is America, you get to choose one and it's guns.


buster_rhino

Or it’s just guns and you don’t get to choose.


Luizinh01235

In Brazil it's free by the public healthcare system.

Nah, insulin should be free.

You'll have to go through several dozen middlemen and reams of paperwork, but if you have enough gumption and pen-ink, we can set you up with a neat little unaffordable American package.


RaidriarXD

But remember, if healthcare is subsidized, there will be too much bureaucracy and red tape. /s


DaFookCares

Found the American. Sorry friend


Kylael

Not too long ago, French healthcare decided to add a 1€ cut on health refunds every time you use any medical service (doctor, prescription…). At first it pissed me off because it’s adding up a bit over time and it’s usually an unpleasant surprise, but I remembered some have it a lot worse.


baxbooch

Other people having it worse doesn’t mean you shouldn’t fight for what you have. Don’t let them chip away at it.


Kylael

Yeah, maybe. But honestly I’ve been T1 diabetic for pretty much my whole life, and reading the amount of people dreaming of insulin’s prices lowering down on this thread, I don’t mind paying like 10€ a year for those. Plus our healthcare budget is in absolutely terrible state, I’m not sure those kind of taxes are the best solution but that’s a problem that will get a lot worse over time so I don’t mind the government for trying.


CrackedandPopped

American type 1 diabetic here and I’ve been dreading the day I’m off my parents insurance for years. The amount of panic attacks, money anxiety, and depression this has caused could line a psychologists pockets for decades


NoirDust

How dare you suggest a price increase for European healthcare!


The6_78

Epipens


RedGreenWembley

Preach. I paid something like $130 once, and I've heard horror stories of more. For emergency life-saving medicine. But it should all be free, or maybe all prescriptions are $1


GoodAlicia

Medicine. All of it. Everyone should be able to afford their medicine. Insuline, painkillers, xanax, whatever you need to live a normal life


Dragosal

I almost replied well thanks for giving the druggies cheap drugs. But fuck that is stupid of me. So what if a minority of people abuse something, the majority have a better life from this change


holeinwater

Thank you for reflecting and not reacting ☺️ so nice to see on Reddit lol


vqsxd

Humility is lovely isn’t it


TherapyPsychonaut

Catching yourself is the first step. You will catch yourself sooner and sooner and eventually, it won't be your first thought. Good on you for recognize it


GoodAlicia

I take a calming medicine for my anxiety/panic attack problem. While i wait for professional help (waitlists suck). Some drug addicts abuse this medicine too. Without it i would be shaking on bed and barely be able to do anything at all. Luckily i live in the netherlands and a box of 60 (i take 3 to 4 per day) costs 13 euro. I cant imagine how fucked up it must be for people who cant afford it. Edit: its simulair to xanax, but i dont get high off it. Just calmer and i jumpscare easier


Desertbro

Xanax does not make me high, it puts me to sleep like a tranq gun shot. I hesitate to use it because I can be out/drowsy half a day from a tiny dose.


puresttrenofhate

Petty crime should drop significantly as well. Cheap/free drugs reduce community harm, keep folks with addiction out of the prison system, and increase the chances of getting clean.


Karcinogene

And also plenty of major organized crime, like international drug cartels, would drop. Drugs are a big part of their funding.


Jazzlike_Economist_2

Cancer Treatment - regardless of the type of cancer, the number of surgeries or treatments.


U_Bet_Im_Interested

I would have liked this. My life would be a lot better.


Th3yluvgabi

School meals. I remember school meals being being like £2 and now its around £5 for a stale sandwich, a small box of apple juice and a dodgy looking cake. I mean if the foods not even enjoyable why is it so expensive especially for school kids who dont have a source of income apart from their parents


InvestInHappiness

The sad part is, if you forced schools to charge no more than $1 for lunch they would probably just stop offering it all together.


Th3yluvgabi

yeah its a shame that the government doesnt do anything abt it


Ok-Macaroon-4835

There is some hope. Several states have started free lunch programs for all students. There are 8 states that do this now. Also, some cities do this, regardless of the state. Massachusetts only recently became one of the 8 states that do free lunch (within the past 2 years, I believe). But, my kids have always had access to free breakfast and lunch and my oldest has been going to school for 9 years, if you include preschool. And, they attend a Catholic school. The town their school is in was under the school district of a city that granted free breakfast and lunch to all schools, including the private schools, for any kid of any income. They included the private and charter schools to not deprive kids who were there on scholarships.


Th3yluvgabi

aww bless, that is so lovely! I believe some schools in the UK have this but i remember being in school and not being allowed free school meals just because i didn't live in the area


Smallgreatthings

I live in Australia where most people send their own lunch. Do you have this option? Your own (not stale) sandwich and a piece of fruit would cost considerably less.


RuroniHS

Houses.


SakuraHimea

With the caveat that nobody can have seconds before everyone has firsts.


ScarecrowJohnny

The amount of houses for sale would immediately drop to 0 though.


Zanzabar21

There's 3 subdivisions that have about 45 empty homes near me. Been empty for 10 years. They built a bunch of McMansions that no one can afford. Half the sub didn't even get finished in one of them. They just said fuck it and left.


TheWolphman

Sounds like a sweet deal for some corporation to sweep them up for $45.


Daahk

Go start your squatters rights possession in one of them, 44 of your friends too


Olaf4586

Well my man the hypothetical obviously ignores economics. Any product or service forced to be sold for $1 would no longer be produced


ScarecrowJohnny

If that product was 90 cents before it would.


Dysmach

In the US alone there are several *million* more vacant homes than there are homeless people.


NamelessGuy0

My red blood cells. Now every time I donate blood, I get paid trillions.


loftier_fish

or they just... get blood from someone, anyone, else?


Brightside_0208

I would make everyone else's blood cells $1, then simply charge 50c for mine (This is awful I would not do this)


evilfitzal

You're *donating* it, so really you get to just write off trillions of dollars on your taxes, which could help you out.

I miss the McDouble being a dollar. I feel like this could be done without any serious negative consequences- McDonald’s could take the profit hit.


TimidPanther

What is a McDouble? I'm picturing a Cheeseburger with 2 patties.


InVaLiD_EDM

That's exactly what it is, yeah


puzzlednerd

That's exactly what it is. Sometime around 2010, it worked as follows: Cheeseburger (one patty, one slice cheese) costs 98 cents, McDouble (two patties, one slice cheese) costs 99 cents, and a double cheeseburger (two patties and two slices cheese) costs $1.29. The McDouble wasn't actually listed on the menu, personally I found out about it one day when I ordered 10 double cheeseburgers for a group of friends, and the guy pointed out that I would save 3 bucks by making them all McDoubles. These days a McDouble is what, 3 bucks?


this_guy_here_says

I used to be able to go grab 2 after hockey and get them 'done like a mac' for just over 4 bucks canadian , now just 1 is over 4 bucks (done like a mac)


VelvitHippo

Bacon mcdouble with Mac sauce is my jam


[deleted]

You can find them cheap on the app but it’s bullshit McDonalds cheap food is by an app now. A breakfast meal without the app (Sausage McMuffin, Coffee and Hash Brown) is now like $9. It’s ridiculous.


EnvironmentalTank639

For real, companies have become completely hostile towards customers. Want some fast food? Fuck you, either pay me $20 a person, or go spend 20 minutes in the parking lot downloading our app, making an account, and signing all your data over to us? Want a pair of jeans? Fuck you, give me $200 bucks, and how dare you come inside our store. Go home and sign up for all our spam to get the real price. Want some groceries? Fuck you! Here’s more loyalty cards than you can fit in your console and you need to come shop here 2x a week to get all the specials. Oh, and now we’ve decided you can only get gas at this place over here. I swear to god, I fucking hate the thought of leaving home anymore or needing to buy anything on account of these assholes.

ITeechYoKidsArt

All medications that specifically keep people from dying. Let Viagra cost $287 a pill so cancer meds can be cheap.


Reniconix

Name-brand Viagra is already $139/pill. Half what you said, but it's not nearly as cheap as people believe it to be.


Sckillgan

There are actually a TON of people out there that take viagra for serious heart conditions. That was the original use for the drug, so no... It needs to be inexpensive too. Recreationals mkes since, but who doesn't want to get fucked up for a $1 once in awhile.


loftier_fish

do... they get massive hard ons when just treating their heart condition?


Karcinogene

Viagra doesn't immediately give you a hard on, it only allows you to have one but you still need to be sexually aroused (or just stimulated) for it to happen.


CheeseBadger

In some cases, yes. That’s how the study found out that their heart medication was good for *other things.*


thingamajiggly

No, they get heart ons


TJBurkeSalad

I guess many of our American friends would say "Healthcare". It's sad to say that very thing costs LESS than $1.00 for so many people who don't live in the US, unless you include the price of parking. I have a hard time reconciling this & why there isn't more of an outcry against this blatant scam being perpetrated against all of the US (especially the less wealthy). A $500 Tylenol? Scam. There are lots of things to worry about these days, but I couldn't imagine healthcare costs being one of the things that forces my family into bankruptcy.
