    What about have since? “Banks have since planned for this tactic”

    I guess it still implies a specific time/event, but maybe it’s a little less clunky than “from then on”

      no the use of participle makes the time non-specific, and it’s a good alternative. it just changes the sentence altogether. I was trying to address the need for using a word exactly the way you would use anymore but for positive sentences. someone suggested “now” which is pretty close but I think doesn’t work in all cases.
