Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

If they just recently installed it then they are years behind the times.......they must be just catching up. LOL!
A big part of a depression is a credit collapse. So it’s important to look at this from that point of view.
The easy credit society of today is an economic experiment, created after WWII. Unfortunately it is unsustainable. Prior to that, and for many years after it was created, “You could only have a loan if you didn’t need one.” Likely we will return to that rule.
Not just at the business, but personal level as well, credit will collapse. For the typical person, this means the credit card companies will have enough failed bond issues so that they can no longer underwrite most credit cards.
Likewise, retailers may be forced into limiting purchases to physical cash only—no virtual money. This is a serious predicament, because the US only has enough paper money and coins to back 5% of our daily retail market. If paper money and coins become the preferred means of payment to retailers, their value will instantly deflate by 95%.
This is pretty much what happened in the Great Depression, where “A pound of hamburger cost only a nickel, but nobody had any nickels.”
Fortunately, there is an easy to implement alternative to an all-cash society, that was first used by cities during the Great Depression, called ‘scrip’, and is still in marginal use today in some places. In effect, it can replace the missing “volume” of dollars, working parallel to it to keep local government and markets functioning.
It is a very controlled currency, so does not suffer the fluctuations that can strike legal tender currency. A large scale modern version could even be printed on plain paper, using a Data Matrix bar code on the back, and scanned before every transaction, computers recording who had what money, thus preventing black marketeering.
This also allows legal tender cash concentration with the issuer, so that they can buy imported goods not produced locally.
Again, all of this amounts to bank-less economics. It evolved because of bank closings and bank holidays, some of while lasted from 3-300 days. As such, it was realized that banks are a convenience, nothing more.
