They’re still made and still legal, though because the demand isn’t that high they don’t make a huge quantity. You can get some from your bank upon request, though if they don’t have any on hand you may need to wait for them to get some on your behalf. The main thing needed for $2 bills is popularizing them.

$1 and $2 coins would also be a good idea, honestly, entirely replacing the corresponding bills, like Canada and the eurozone have done, and also eliminating physical pennies like Canada and certain euro countries. But those are harder fights. ($1 coins do already exist, in small quantities, alongside the $1 bill.)

My “nobody” encompasses anybody with the authority to make changes - federal, state and local.

Instead, they still print everything - including the bills that they don’t get the chance to read before the vote.

You still don't get it. OUT OF ALL JOBS, IT RANKS 22 ON THE TOP 25 MOST DANGEROUS, just because a logger is more dangerous doesn't make policing not dangerous. Very easy to understand.

You’re basing this off of the current situation.

I’m talking about when everyone stops driving and begins relying on mass transportation, deliveries and ride-shares to get things done.

Deliveries group multiple orders which makes them more efficient than 1 person in a car going to pick up their order * how ever many people get deliveries. Public transportation is also more efficient, so less pollution. Ride shares are trickier, but a fleet of Ubers could theoretically be optimized to deliver a more efficient trip than personal car rides

To add on, 4 years isnt really a long period of time for something that they have to modify infrastructure around. Traffic patterns, public transit load, and general behavior could change dramatically, and the city has to be able to anticipate that Edit: This usually culminates in a report such as a feasibility study or environmental impact statement
