I think it's a federal crime parking meters won't accept pennies. Yeah, government, we know pennies suck. But you made them! You have to accept them!
Mindy Kaling, in her book "Why Not Me?", humorously critiques the unfairness surrounding parking meters that reject pennies. She points out the irony that while society deems pennies to be worthless, the government still produces them, thereby creating a contradiction. Kaling expresses her frustration over a supposed federal crime where citizens are unable to use these coins for their intended purpose.
This observation reflects a broader commentary on the value of currency and public systems. Kaling highlights how something as trivial as a penny can spark a discussion about governmental responsibilities and the absurdities of everyday life. Through her humor, she encourages readers to think critically about the systems in place and their interactions with citizens.
