Why A2xx....sucks

I'm starting to fold more of these A2xx hands preflop and flop....

even though I flopped the nut low, I had nothing else going for it... so insta-fold here...

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $24.70 | Rake $1.20
Board [5c 6h 7d 4h 3d]
Seat 3: Gooned showed [5d 8c 4c 8d] and won ($11.75) with HI: a straight, Four to Eight; LO: 7,6,5,4,3
Seat 7: aucu showed [2h 4d As Ts] and won ($11.75) with HI: a straight, Deuce to Six; LO: 5,4,3,2,A

So If I had stayed in till the river, I would have been quartered and split the pot with AUCU....I would have invested about $12 to this pot and only get back about $6 which means I would have lost $6!!!! Lesson so simple still I see people pushing A2 hands with nothing else going for it...
