What Are You Doing Right Now

On coffee number three here.
-
Getting seriously tired of the CDN dollar being far below 1:1. It'd be OK if my salary went up 30% to compensate but it never seems to.

@MattSpeller if you want stable US prices you need to be paid in USD
-
@scottalanmiller I think it's time to ditch both currencies and move to "the dollar"
-
We can merge to the peso.
-
@MattSpeller We'll have to call it "the 'Murica" (like the Euro, but 'Murican)

Oh man... could you image in the uproar over that currency? Half of the US would have fits of seizures just thinking about it.

http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=CAD&to=USDWhy does it matter? Unless you mostly buy things from the US?

USA makes just about everything. Loads of manufacturing is in the US. It's famous for how much it makes from manufacturing to media to software.

I'm not convinced that either of those things are real things.

I've actually had Moose Jerky in Vermont... it is not to my liking. There is also a famous John Candy movie called Canadian bacon if I recall.
-
I love Canadian Bacon, at least on pizza...
-
Moose Jerky is weird, I really don't like it. Canadian Bacon is awesome.
-
Why no moose bacon?

So what, the media is full of it that the US doesn't manufacture anything anymore? I know that we do some stuff as my dad works on a subway car manufacturing line, well used to. He was so good at fixing broken shop things that they made that his full time job instead.
