Harriet Tubman could be the new face on the bill

This is typical of modern feminism. Symbolism made to look like action. How will this improve the welfare of women and girls? It will not do a damn thing for women in general, or black women in particular. No one gives a shit who's on the bill, only the numbers in the corner matter.
It's been said here many times, but when all of your needs are met, modern women just start getting this unbearable itch, which manifests as this nonsense, and all of the other crap we see them do. All of it relies on guilting men into doing something. This is women's power. They can't actually compel anything.

Get back to me with the results.
Of the coins/bills currently in widespread circulation:
Probably JFK. A fairly mediocre president whose brinksmanship almost led to a nuclear war. B-/C+
Of the best female candidate to replace him:
If we're talking Americans only, probably Eleanor Roosevelt. She opposed the "Equal Rights Amendment," saying that equality would come through recognition that men and women are fundamentally different. Never was a member of the government nor a national hero, so probably the same as JFK: B-/C+.
If you're not fucking her, someone else is.

It's not about any moral argument, it's about divorcing people from history in favor of the narrative.
Jackson does not conform to the narrative, Tubman does.
To go off on a tangent, this is happening in school too.
I just called my mom, and she talked about the history curriculum in middle school.
They learn about China, Islam, Aztecs, Indus Valley etc. World History. All interesting stuff, but notice one continent that is missing? European history.
I asked why Europe was left off and she responded, "well we learn about the Dark Ages." So the lowest point.
No Renaissance, Enlightenment, or even when the European Empires grew to their most prominent stature through colonialism.
I'm likely making too much of this issue but I know kids would be more interested by a Quintus Curtius article to be honest. Not just because he's a good writer but he picks figures and periods that are interesting and inspiring.

Pretty ironic that Andrew is on the $20 when the dude was a hater of all things banker. Wonder if he'd even want to be on the currency nowadays knowing they only come into existence via the "federal" reserve?

Jackson actually adopted two Indian children, and was the first President from poverty. Definitely should stay on the bill

Hegel was right - partially. The End of History and The Last Man won't come to fruition with liberal democracy, but with the Western man going extinct.
Harriet Tubman ain't my hero.

I agree with Kennedy, but for one huge additional reason...Executive Order 10988
He allowed federal employees to unionize which led to unionization of the public sector.
Public sector employees are liberals, almost by definition. They want higher wages (we all do), benefits (the real boon), 3 months off (teachers), and they elect people to pander to them.
And God-forbid you feel teachers are over-compensated!
Don't ever deny the tie public sector pension funds had to the bailouts. Print money and hand it to the banks to make sure your high school algebra teacher can retire and do nothing for 35 years.

The public sector had unionized years before Kennedy. The Boston Police went on strike in 1919.

I have no problem with putting a woman on US currency. I just think it should be on the $2 bill. Pretty much the only place you see them is at a strip club, so I think it would honor these sex workers empowerment.
