One day they put in this thing called an Automated Teller Machine - for after-hours convenience.
We thought "How cute and so modern."
A few years later, no more tellers, no more community bank - banking laws in Oklahoma (R) changed and Bank of Oklahoma swallowed everything.
Community banks became ATM's.
It's like what we did and who we were is being erased - like Stephen King's Langoliers are eating up our past.
I wonder if people really know what is happening. They bought a bunch of lies in 2016 - but lies get exposed, and the truth is not any better.
