Ever heard of "Trump Bucks"? People are literally paying real money with the belief that these are legal tender or will be in the near future. Retail workers have to deal with people trying to buy stuff with these fake bucks all the time and then argue with the employee when told it's not real money

The more time that passes, the more I believe that the 2006 movie Idiocracy is absolutely a prophecy about the near future of our country.
