A Brink’s driver was asleep inside vehicle during multimillion-dollar jewelry heist last July in Lebec, California at a truck stop. 13 Jewelers, mostly in LA, are completely devastated and suing Brinks for $100M. Now this is a real life episode of Money Heist….. (LA times).
Did you know? The wealthy love electric cars, priced similarly to the median price of a US home! Rolls Royce sales are up almost 50% in 2022 in case you were worried.... and their new $400,000 EV has hundreds of pre-orders as RR plans to be all electric by 2030. Cadillac has a $300,000 EV coming too. Hopefully we have enough electricity to fuel all these new cars..... my electrician is concerned! Homes that create power could be a massive future value-add. Think Solar!
Did you know? The electric car is perfectly noiseless and clean. There is no smell or vibration, and they should become very useful when fixed charging stations can be arranged.

Yes, Mr. Rolls saw the need for improved electric infrastructure 122 years ago!
Did you know? One good thing from inflation (if you can actually say this)? The IRS is introducing higher standard deductions and thresholds for tax codes to reflect higher inflation!

The annual gift tax exclusion—the amount any person can give to any other without affecting lifetime limits—will climb to $17,000 from $16,000. (WSJ)
