ATPM
new use for ATM machines during corona virus crisis | |
During the current corona virus crisis two things have become apparent: no one wants to handle money and toilet paper has become a rare commodity.
This leaves us with empty shelves in the supermarket but ATM machines that are filled with cash.
Combining both of these brings us to the idea for
the ATPM.
The initials here stand for Automatic Toilet Paper Machine.
ATMs are everywhere, and given that their main function is to dispense sheets of paper, an easily achieved modification sees them being loaded with multiples of 20 sheet, enveloped batches of toilet paper instead of paper cash, and converted to ATPMs. A simple keypad transaction is all that is needed now for the release of a modest amount of the valuable toilet paper to take place.
Just as cash withdrawals are restricted and controlled, so it is with the dispensing of the toilet paper. ATM's are easy to find, secure, open 24/7, and facilitate the current need for social distancing. The other big advantage is that the supplies are paid for directly from the customer's account, in exactly the same way as cash currently is.
Packs of deluxe extra soft tissue naturally cost a little more, but the ATPM can offer that as an option for a modest extra charge.

With 1.5 trillion new dollars given straight to wealthy bankers this is rapidly becoming baked. |
|
| |
I've read Adenosine triphosphate... Machine. |
|
| |
Realistically, I see just a few issues with this: |
|
| |
1) How does ATPM ensure that the newly issued toilet paper odes not get
contaminated with fingerprints and grease of buyers? |
|
| |
2) How much does it cost? |
|
| |
Could there be an ATPM that dispenses Advanced TurboProp aircraft ? |
|
| |
Is that a Spoonerism or a pun or something... ? |
|

I'll take an MC-130J, thanks. |

//1.5 trillion new dollars given straight to wealthy bankers// Since money floats up, and becomes more sticky at the top, don't governments have a moral duty to stick the money in at the lowest position possible? |

They put another .5 trillion down low to distract the peasantry. |

You know, [wjt], your phraseology is somtimes more than a trifle idiosyncratic, but with that, you have achieved a sort of serendipitous glory that most can only aspire to. |

Admittedly it conjures up a somewhat crude image, like a perverted form of lap-dancing, but very, very funny. |

<goes to ATPM> Oh My God! I’ve been wiped out! |

Alternatively, you could request your bills in Rial
notes, and you can wipe with those. |
