The idea of doing away with the penny misses the point.
The question is why does it cost three cents to produce a penny? Can we make a penny for less? I'm suspecting it could be done.We should try that first because the loss of that denomination will have repercussions.
Who do you think it will cost every time a purchase comes to $0.96? You, the consumer, will be expected to eat the difference; the business never will. This seems like an innocuous loss, but consider how much 337,000,000 of us will leave on the table over the course of a year.
Better to streamline production and reduce costs so everyone's math makes sense.
Another comparison that we don't often talk about is how during the Nazi period there was also opposition to vaccinations.
Wasn't lack of regulation what caused the 2008 recession?
Seconding this, Paul Newman was probably the best person to ever come out of the state of Ohio.
He co-founded Newman's Own, a food company which donates all post-tax profits and royalties to charity. As of May 2021, these donations totaled over US$570 million. Newman continued to found charitable organizations such as the SeriousFun Children's Network in 1988 and the Safe Water Network in 2006.

You say many states outlaw faithless electors, but a shocking amount, 34 out of 50 states, still count the vote, with only 2 of those 34 actually penalizing it. The rest of the States have proper protections against such a thing from occurring, but faithless electors doing some real damage to an election is still a possibility. Will it happen this time around? Probably not. They've never really come close to changing the outcome of an election, but if they worked together, they could!
It is worth noting that the 2016 election had 10 faithless electors and was the first election in over 100 years in which multiple electors worked to alter the result of the election.

Fluoride, when swallowed, can be distributed throughout the body, which includes being in the saliva that covers the teeth. Nevertheless, fluoridated water has been shown with more than enough evidence to improve the quality of teeth in humans compared to its risks (if any) and removing it in water will reduce those benefits.
