California Nominates Steve Jobs for $1 American Innovation Coin

How about the founders of HP? Bill Hewlett and David Packard were the original inventors in a small garage in what would become Silicon Valley. They could do a coin showing them in front of the garage. Today, the garage has been saved and is a historical landmark in Palo Alto. Finally, Hewlett was the one who gave computer chips to Jobs when he was a kid, and Woz worked at HP before leaving for Apple.

Should go down in history as the man that destroyed the world and turned people into mindless scrolling zombies. There once was a time people talked to each other and found common ground now they just scream into the void. The iPhone and it's apps led to antisocial media and the poisoning of billions of minds. Addiction of anything has never led to anything good and this is just another example, leave your brick on the bench, where it belongs, with your fake puffy lips and go and experience life and the beauty of the world.

Alright, let me sum this up real quick: Your argument is that Jobs' invention made the world rotten, turned people into zombies, and got them staring into the void. And the reason? Well, people turned out like this because of his invention. And the undeniable proof? My coworker is FaceTiming her nephew on her iPhone, and yeah, I guess if you look at it a certain way, it does kinda seem like she's just smiling into the abyss.

Elon’s gonna find some way to torpedo this because Jobs was rude to him that one time (according to Elon).

Oh was he? That's fantastic news haha.

It’d be half as thick and cost $3….

And viewed from the side, it would look just like an iPad, a MacBook Pro or an Apple Pencil. (I've been amused by the product photography in the Apple Stores that feature profile shots of their products, which all just look like a line.)

Is Musk going to be on the Texas coin then?

I would have thought he will be on future $100 bills.
