He's also announced that he has ordered the Consumer Protection Bureau to stop working. Like, cease doing anything.
His bootlickers are trying to spin this as an accounting thing. One rando I read said that there were millions being funneled through to 'unregistered social security numbers'. I declined to engage the idiocy.

An unregistered social security number is a 9 digit number that isn't anyone's social security number, I guess? What happens when money is sent to a 9 digit number? Where does it go? How come money never comes to my number? Or how do I know if it has?
ha, there goes all their Red Team materials. And a good chunk of any security documentation.

Trump says he has directed US Treasury to stop minting new pennies, citing rising cost
President Donald Trump says he has directed the Treasury Department to stop minting new pennies, citing the rising cost of producing the one-cent coin.

I want to know if Trump knows that pennies are not intended to be a profitable product of the Treasury Department. The loss on making them costs every American 25 cents and what we get for it is being able to make change.
He wouldn't know about change. He writes checks or uses big bills. Or just doesn't bother paying at all.
There has been a bipartisan push to get rid of pennies for a long time for exactly the same reason Trump has cited. So long, in fact, that thanks to inflation we could probably get rid of nickels too and still have a currency as granular as nickels were when the push first started.
But of course Trump is going about this the wrong way. There would need to be an official act requiring all prices and account balances to be rounded to increments of five (or ten) cents, and I doubt he gives enough of a crap to put in that effort.

Problem is, I'll either buy a lot of those products whether or not I've seen those commercials, and/or I won't buy the products, even if I had seen the commercials.
(I'm not saying commercials don't drive sales. I'm saying it's really hard to tie sales to any specific commerical(s).)

I don't think you're both talking about the same kind of privilege.
It actually IS the same kind of privilege. Just in a narrow context where people feel good about acknowledging it.
