I live in a small town close to San Francisco. Went grocery shopping at a medium size grocery store (not a big name supermarket). While taking out money from the ATM, the cashier said: "Better get all you want, won't be here tomorrow". He told me that the ATM would be removed tomorrow. He also rattled off a few more names of grocery stores nearby that were removing their ATMS. I won't be surprised if they even remove them from banks to force people to stand in line and opt for digital currency.
No ATMS => Digital Currency => Social Credit Score =>
=> You've bought your ration of meat for the month. You can buy 5 pounds of bugs.
You didn't see the writing on the wall as soon as you could process the transaction at the register and get "cash back"? That was when the ATM's death sentence started. Seen a payphone lately? Pointless when it's in your pocket, but look what you sacrificed for that convenience.
I would add that the ATM market was probably ultra excited when weed went to states rights, every dispensary had to find a way to get an ATM to deal with the "you don't accept credit card?"
Ah ha, now I know where I can still find an ATM! That, and probably casinos. Thanks for the heads-up!
