You don't have to imagine - Wells Fargo was down for several hours earlier this year and no one could send or receive any money.
People couldn't pay bills, transfer money and some couldn't even buy gas.
- londons_explore 7y ago> some couldn't even buy gas. How culture changes perspectives! Over here in Europe I was thinking "doesn't sound so bad". Then I realised over in the US, gas means petrol, and without petrol America doesn't work. I'll reply to any replies after I've taken the electric train home.
- adventured 7y agoYou're not being fair to Europe's very impressive contributions. After all, European companies lead the way in the production of rolling pollution machines, aka ICE vehicles. Besides, the US has cleaner air than most of Europe, thanks to the intense diesel particulate pollution across European cities. Who can forget the infamous Paris smog photos from a few years ago (which is still an ongoing problem)? Don't worry though, the US invented the modern electric car, twice, in the form of GM's EV1 and Tesla. We'll lead the European automakers out of the dark ages - underway right now as they all chase Tesla - and take care of the problem of the ICE automobile that Europe was heavily responsible for. In the process cities like Paris will be smog free again, finally.

The US also has higher cars per capita: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_vehicles_per_capita https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_vehicle...
