P. Terry's review

A great place to eat in Austin is the local hot-spot called P.Terry's. P.Terry's has several locations around town and is a fast food burger joint. The food is very good and fast. The service given is excellent and if you have a dog with you as you drive to up to the window to get your food, they will even give you a dog blonde.
There are some great thing about P. Terry's. For one, the food is very cheap, but it is also delicious. I would recommend the fries and any flavors of their milkshakes. I would however not recommend going if your trying to keep a healthy diet. A small milkshake is over 700 calories and its fries are around 386 calories. And be prepared to not get exactly what you ordered. You may have to remove the tomato or lettuce yourself.
The most popular P. Terry's is the one downtown. It definitely has that fun, relaxed Austin attitude with it, but being downtown does come with a price. If you want to grab a bite don't go during the regular lunch or dinner rushes. You will be waiting for 15 minutes in your car for a while while the many other people try to get their food at the delicious drive through.
And even though P. Terry's may be busy, and slightly inaccurate, the pro of the delicious food definitely outweighs the con.

The useless coin

In Robert Whaples opinion piece, "Why keeping the penny no longer makes sense", the author writes about how pennies are useless and literally worthless.
Robert Whaples uses ethos to support his claim when he says, "Harvard's Greg Mankiw, former chairman of President Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, has said: "When people start leaving a monetary unit at the cash register for the next customer, the unit is too small to be useful."" This is useful to his argument because Mankiw was a chairman on former president Bush's council of economic Advisers, and he said that the penny is useless. Another example of ethos is that in the same quote he added the part that he is a Harvard graduate which means he is smart.
Also, Robert Whaples uses logos to support his claim in the paragraph when he says, "Conservative estimates of the value of our time lost using pennies exceed $300 million per year." This is basically saying that we lose 300 million dollars per year because it cost more to make pennies then the actual penny is worth.
I agree with his article because the U.S. government is wasting unnecessarily large amounts of money on they penny, which you can't even buy anything with. The penny was useful in the past when one cent was an actual difference, but in the present a one cent difference is unimportant. Also, Canada got rid of their equivalent of the penny and nothing bad has happened to them. The only question I'm left with, is when are we going to get rid of the penny.
