ATM or Debit is no longer an option anywhere.
This continent would face the possiblity of Anarchy if internet failure hit now, because the backbone of leadership and communication revolves around the internet and without that it would be nearly impossible to run the country from a leader’s standpoint.
The military networks for communication, application and monitoring defense strategies would be if not eliminated then pushed back several decades.
Monetary institutions would crumble, because the electronic money transfers that occur at the end of each day for every major corporation would not happen. Visa, ebay, Paypall, mastercard, and many other companies that are driven by the transferring of money would suffer insurmountably because of the loss of revenue leading to the collapse of the economy.
At the very least the easy access to information would be annihilated taking every Americans need for instant gratification with it. The mass communication that people have become so accustomed to would cease to exist.
This continent would be in the most unstable state conceivable, which is a state of Anarchy.
