I cant really imagine the USA being completely cashless, though. Maybe in 20 or 30 years? They like hearing the printers going brrrrr too much.

It’s an exaggeration, but it is hard to stimulate the economy with actual cash when so many stores don’t accept it and banks don’t even have reserve requirements anymore.

Many new banks seem to have a lot of glass walls. Before they were sturdy buildings.

I think that glass is pretty strong. I saw a video of some rioters in Portland (I think) eventually just give up on trying to smash through.

I dont know. I feel the old brick banks seem to look better. But I like more classic style buildings. You just need to crash into glass with a car, shatters pretty quick.

Probably so. I don’t think the bank in the video had glass all the way down to ground.

Before, didnt they pour concrete that was 5 feet thick on all sides? Or was that just the vault area?

Maybe so. There was an era in American history when bank robberies were more common and when banks had more stuff inside to steal.

True. They actually had to keep the money in the bank vault.
