"SNIP.....

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the redesign of the $20 bill featuring Harriet Tubman will no longer be unveiled in 2020, CNBC reports.

“The unveiling had been timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment which granted women the right to vote. Mnuchin said that the design process has been delayed, and no new imagery will be unveiled until 2028.”

or old photographs ... into 'illustrations' resembling the faces of human beings ... and then making those 'illustrations' ... subsequently appear ... on CURRENCY!?!

I mean, C'mon!

Not sure ANYbody has EVER done something so COMPLEX in the history of the WORLD, you know?

The Technology involved is ... pretty arcane ... difficult to even fathom. Going to the moon sounds much simpler.

" Trump'll need to set up a whole separate "Bill Force" & create a new cabinet position.
This takes a long,long time.... Believe me."
" And whatabout the whole ginormous problem of Andrew Jackson sharing his neighborhood with an heroic Black woman... Everybody is worried about this. Some design issues transcend mere technical challenges. By the time we find a beautiful headshot & solve all these other problems, it'll be past 2024. Definitely not before the Trump Administration is over...."

Saying no Harriet Tubman $20 ever by them, without openly saying so in advance of an election.

So petty and mean, bigoted and misogynistic. A small thing compared to kidnapping children into cages, but another scary sign anyway. Little peepholes into the future of what these people would do if they became authoritarian rulers of our nation, which they're just as clearly going for.

So it's delayed until we take office, won't be ready for the 100th anniversary. That's a shame, but oh well. Btw, 608 days until the 46th president and 117th congress take office.
