People who aren't rich keep documents, like divorce papers and birth certificates, in their safety deposit boxes, which the thieves don't want. They only steal the jewelry and cash that the rich people are hiding.

The rich victims have insurance, and they can sue the bank, so that makes things even more difficult for the bank, and now an insurance company. This gets better and better.
Rich people think their wealth insulates them from annoyance and inconvenience, and yet vast amounts of it seem to only exacerbate it, which is nice. I'm glad when they are unhappy.
If we don't switch from a Trickle Down to a Trickle UP Economy, we will spontaneously flip to a Robin Hood Economy (Take from the rich, give to the poor), and that usually comes accompanied by guillotines and what not.
When the prolific and unrepentant bank robber Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he replied "That's where the money is."
A lot of Hollywood people live in other places, for that very reason, but they generally stay in America. He chose a foreign country, and it would be naive to believe that his, and his wife's, opinions and actions in defiance of MAGA had nothing to do with that decision.
We say "lipstick on a pig," but yeah.
I usually skip the AI blurb because they are so inaccurate, and dig through the listings for the info I'm researching. If I go back and look at the AI blurb after that, I can tell where they took various little factoids, and occasionally they'll repeat some opinion or speculation as fact.
France doesn't have a government whose president is specifically gunning for him, and his wife. That makes a big difference. Better safe than sorry, especially with your kids.
Frankly, I'd be right behind him, if I could afford it. It wouldn't be any big sacrifice to quit this version of America. We passed our "Best by" date long ago.
It brings in money, so of course they're keeping it alive. They're trying to rebrand it, supposedly helping kids avoid standard teen stuff like suicide, etc. They had a table set up outside of Walgreens a while back. They were well-trained and aggressive, but I've spent a lifetime in sales, much of it training people for that same kind of bullshit, so I have no problem blowing them off. Politely, I'm not a monster, but...No thanks.
Today? Only an idiot.
In 2029, when Trump refuses to leave? Maybe lots of people.
It was right there.
Local savings bank? Do you think it's like the old West, where the customers deposits are kept on the bank's safe? A small local savings and loan does business just like a big bank. If they get robbed, they have the same protections as a big bank.
If you have so much money in one account that it isn't covered by insurance, that's on you. 99% of people's account would be completely covered. I seriously don't care about rich people losing their money.
It's Robin Hood time, baby. Just leave small local businesses alone. But it's fair game for big corporations.
