I have some observational comedy to share with you this week.

Well, you know, we have a sort of infamous crime problem in the Bay Area.

Yeah, people say that we are caught in a doom loop where I think every crime inspires another crime.

Yeah, and so now you like that exactly.

So I did see an innovation in crime prevention in my near my house this week, which was I went to get money out of the ATM because my

barber I was gonna get my haircut only accepts cash that's interesting we might

want to alert the authorities about that. Something's going on there.

So I went to an ATM and found out when I got there and put in my card and put on a PIN number

that it was a cashless ATM.

Have you heard of this? Wait, what is a cashless ATM?

So I only learned this after I put in my card, but it was like,

okay, well, we don't have cash in this ATM

so you can check your balance,

you can make a transfer between accounts,

or that's it basically.

This is the most useless machine I've ever heard of.

I know, I was like at that point why do you, like what percentage of people who go to an ATM are doing things other than getting cash out?

That's right, because everything that you just describe, you can just, like, I guarantee you that your bank has an app that does that.

Like there does not need to be a machine in the physical world that does.

The one thing that you need from the physical world

is physical paper.

Exactly.
