Is this change shortage Real?

 


So while opening a new checking account a week or so ago the people at the bank said they were in fact experiencing a change shortage.  Now aside from the  obvious  question—“isn’t money  your main product?”—I started  imagining why this shortage was real.  The best explanations I could come up with were:


  1. Since  people. Are staying at home far more than ever before the amount of loose change that we usually give to  people for tips is staying in our pockets.   then add that to the fact we aren’t changing our clothes as often so more change has a longer time frame to get shuffled out of our  pockets and into our  reclinersa and couches along with  the stray socks that are left over from the dryer, the coupon for 50% off two car washes, and the back from  that little earring—oh and that hair tie you know the one that matches those flip flops.
  2. Most people just don’t believe in change anymore... even when we used to have it—it just didn’t buy much except for a few minutes of parking and well quite frankly the machines that  Artie designed to process change don’t  ever work.   Let’s face it how many times have you put a dollar in a change machine and while some coins may have. Fallen out—nothing...I mean nothing of importance...ever. Changed.

seriously... maybe it’s time to move to the  question—why does it take so long for change to happen when it does?   


Well some folks are just fine with the way things are and. Believe the  future will be pretty much the same as long as they don’t push for change.   well... a lot of these folks really. Hate 2020.  



Uncertainty is often sold as failurr and if there is  little risk of failure than. There is little hope for change.  So in a world of uncertainty  and uncertainty being  viewed as something to. Fear... there is little doubt that. A lot of people can’t bring themselves to embrace change due to the notion that people want to feel like they have control outcomes  when they  experience self-directed. Or coincidental  universal shifts.   In short, uncertainty is not  calling for curiosity it is calling for fear and a lot of people are listening.  even  when  we see alight at the end of the tunnel people are shouting “it’s a train.”   


Now here’s the magic...


If you  apply a bit of curiosity and make a change you eliminate all the uncertain associated with all the choices that you put aside to act in a particular. Way and as uncertainty  dwindles the more opportunities  to explore without fear materialize.  So when you are uncertain —change—it’s a win-win




So in the realm of the completely obvious—today starts a couple days on  the relationship between curiosity, fear, and control...

and one thing I can control is my worcount—so this is it for today
