Listen "Pennies and Pillows"
Episode Synopsis
The American penny is headed into the history book. The Trump Administration announced pennies will stop being minted early next year. So, we're wondering if this is the start of a much bigger transition to a coinless or even cashless society. We explore what the polling says about how often people actually use cash and whether Americans are truly ready for a digital dollar future. A lot of Americans say they are not getting the rest they need, and the effects go far beyond simply feeling tired. Sleep is deeply connected to health, happiness, and productivity, yet exhaustion is becoming a common part of daily life. Polls and studies show that women and younger adults struggle the most. Technology now confirms just how little sleep many Americans are actually getting. We revisit a poll asking whether college is still important if a good job is possible without it. The results offer a glimpse into how Americans have long weighed the value of higher education beyond just landing a paycheck.
