Sports betting legalization reduces net investments of households by nearly 14% overall. $1 of sports betting reduces net investment by over $2, increases credit card debt, but has no effect on participation in lotteries or other online gambling outlets. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Also, the first Harry Potter, but I suppose the second to last can be classified as a heist
I decided to start putting together famous movie scenes set in banks that AREN'T bank robbery scenes to show clips in class. I got stuck after 2, and apparently so did ChatGPT 😂 Any suggestions for more scenes? Bonus points if it also doesn't involve a bank run

"The joke behind "econ-omists" is a play on words between "economists" and "econ-omists," with the added "-omists" implying that economics professors are experts or specialists in their field, similar to the suffix "-ist" in other professions (e.g. biologist, stylist). 2/n
