Patriot Gold Group Announces «Inflation Protection America First IRA» Inflation the Next Big Crisis Bidenomics 2021

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —


Patriot Gold Group (PRNewsfoto/Patriot Gold Group)

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —

Inflation might be the big story of 2021.

As the vaccine rolls out and Biden pushes his aggressive vaccination schedule along with a historic $1.9 trillion relief bill, policymakers and the Fed have proven they will deal with any and all problems—health and economic—by printing money.

Gold American Eagle sales were up 455% in 2020 as smart money sought a safe haven

If you add up all of the money the United States has ever printed in the history of the country, over 40% of it was printed in 2020 alone.

During just three months in 2020, the United States increased its deficit by more than it had during the past five recessions combined (i.e., 1973, 1975, 1982, the early 1990s, and the Great Recession of 2008-2009).

With closed theaters and restaurants, slashed airline prices, empty hotels, and government benefits paid or in the pipeline, Americans may have as much as $2 trillion in extra cash socked away by spring.

According to Jack Hanney, CEO of Patriot Gold Group, «The excessive money printing from the Fed to address this pandemic and lock down like most things in life is a double-edged sword: it is a blessing and a curse, as well as fuel for the economic recovery, but may also yield an explosion in prices that policymakers will have no way out of like post World War II.» Mr. Hanney continues, «The Fed policy remaining firmly in rescue mode, with interest rates near zero, and a Biden administration that plans to use reconciliation to get their aggressive agenda through is the spark that will ignite a flame that may turn into an inferno of prices for goods and services.»

Mr. Hanney goes on to say, «When the vaccine rolls out and the sun comes out, spring is in the air and Americans have been locked down for over a year, the mountain of money that will flood restaurants, hotels, airlines, products, goods, and services, and lead to a surge in prices like we’ve never seen, boosting the demand for gold as an inflation hedge at a time when we’re finding physical supply the most constrained we’ve seen in a decade. Gold American Eagle sales were up 455% in 2020 as smart money sought a safe haven from a record-breaking expansion in the money supply, record federal budget deficits, and QE Infinity.» He continues, «Inflation is bad news for consumers, but it’s good for gold and silver.»

Bloomberg Intelligence and Saxo Bank raised their silver forecast to $50 an ounce in 2021 based on the excessive money printing and Biden’s commitment to renewable energy. Moreover, Bank of America raised their gold forecast to $3,000 per ounce, which indicates a pattern that suggests a 70% surge in gold prices may occur in 18 months.

«To combat the dangers their workers face, Null’s Towing is providing new innovative safety solutions for their crews.»

To combat the dangers their workers face, Null’s Towing of Cochranville, Pennsylvania, has joined Royal Truck & Equipment to provide innovative safety solutions for their crews, starting with a TMA (truck mounted attenuator) truck.

«These trucks are typically used as barriers for crews in work zones,» says Rob Roy, President of Royal Truck & Equipment. «We’re excited to see them being used in the tow industry. First responders deserve the same protection as construction workers out on the highway.»

Null’s recently deployed this life-saving truck as an added safety measure for their workers. «You can’t put a price on safety,» says Gwen Null, one of the owners of Null’s Towing.  «I’ve stood on that white line and I’ve had cars going by me at 70 miles an hour just inches away… you feel the air behind you as they’re just missing you. I want to scream at every one of them that we all want to go home to our families. Please slow down. Pay attention to what you’re doing.»

Gwen says their tow operators, including her husband and son, have had to dive under trucks to avoid being hit. «This is not the kind of thing we want to hear but it’s the kind of thing we deal with every day working alongside the road. The guys put their lives on the line every time they go out.»

In addition to the TMA truck, Null’s has also deployed ConnectedTech™ to protect their workers, which connects to the tow truck’s hazard lights and warns drivers of activity in the area via GPS app. «We’re very excited about this. It’s the next level to keeping our guys safe,» says Gwen. «People don’t pay attention to lights or road signs but they pay attention to their phones. We’re thankful that we have tools like this that keep our workers safe.»

Study Shows That 60% Of Employees Would Take A Pay Cut To Have Better Air Quality and Hygiene In Their Workplace

READING, Penn., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A new survey of U.S. and Canadian workers revealed they would take a lower-paying job if it ensured good air quality, greater hygiene and health-conscious colleagues.

READING, Penn., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A new survey of U.S. and Canadian workers revealed they would take a lower-paying job if it ensured good air quality, greater hygiene and health-conscious colleagues.

The survey was commissioned by Ambius, the global leader in creating smarter, healthier spaces through hygiene, plants and scenting services, found that 60% of workers would take a lower paid job if it had a healthier working environment than their current job, with 35% of those saying they already had found a new job with better hygiene practices.

The survey provides evidence that a shift in the awareness of clean and safe workplaces will be at the forefront of employee concerns, as 70% of those surveyed said they would be more likely to ask future employers about their health and hygiene policies and implementation before accepting future jobs.

«As the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted many of our workplaces to at-home environments, business leaders are trying to figure out how to safely bring back their employees,» said John Myers, President and CEO of Rentokil, parent company of Ambius. «Based on our study, research shows that when workers return to their workplaces, their expectations and priorities have changed. A clean, hygienic and well-ventilated space with efficient air circulation and strategically-place hygiene stations are central to the idea of a safe workplace and will be expected by employees as they return to work. Physical health is important, but these measures also contribute to the mental health and overall well-being of employees.»

The survey of 3,000 people featured employees working in a range of environments, including factory and warehouse floors, hospitals, restaurants, schools and general offices about their most important features of future workplaces. Clean, pure, and healthy air (62%), efficient air circulation (54%), regular disinfecting (52%) and natural lighting (50%) were some of the most popular responses to what these top features are.

Stale and stuffy working rooms (47%), unpleasant odors (42%), and poor ventilation (42%) were all selected as factors that would create a stressful and anxious workplace environment.

Using plants and greenery in workplaces to mark social distancing partitions rather than sterile boards and markings would create a better working environment in general (65%) and improve mental health and wellbeing in the workplace (55%).

With the pandemic causing concerns for the future of workplaces across the world, the research suggests making strong steps to improve certain aspects in the environment would go a long way in keeping them safe, happy and secure in the future, post-pandemic world.

Washington State House Vote Advances 2030 Gas Car Phaseout Bill: a Historic Milestone, says Coltura

SEATTLE, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Washington made history when the State House Transportation Committee voted late yesterday to advance legislation calling for all model year 2030 or later passenger and light-duty vehicles sold in the state to be electric vehicles (EVs). Introduced by Rep. Nicole Macri (D-Seattle), <a target="_blank"…

SEATTLE, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Washington made history when the State House Transportation Committee voted late yesterday to advance legislation calling for all model year 2030 or later passenger and light-duty vehicles sold in the state to be electric vehicles (EVs). Introduced by Rep. Nicole Macri (D-Seattle), Clean Cars 2030 (HB 1204) sets the first 2030 gas car phaseout target in the country.

«This vote builds on our incredible track record here in Washington leading on big climate issues,» said Rep. Macri. «Clean Cars 2030 puts Washington on the road to powering its vehicles with cheap, clean, renewable electricity produced in-state and reduces the threat that oil and gasoline pose to our air, water, and health.»

«This is the first time in history that a state legislative body has voted to end the use of gasoline,» said Matthew Metz, co-executive director of Coltura, the nonprofit leading a coalition of organizations rallying around this bill. «By setting a target date for the transition to electric vehicles, Clean Cars 2030 builds clarity around the future growth of the state’s EV market. We’re not resting until this bill becomes law.»

Since Clean Cars 2030 was introduced, GM announced plans to sell only zero-emissions models by 2035, and Ford said it would only sell electric vehicles in Europe by 2030. Passage of the Clean Cars 2030 bill will serve as a model for other states to make an accelerated switch to EVs, putting more of the U.S. in line with countries worldwide pushing for a 2030 phaseout of gas vehicles, a critical step to meet urgent carbon reduction goals. It will also give the Biden administration leverage in negotiating with automakers on an accelerated timeline for a national gas car phaseout while providing added certainty to the industry that the all-EV future is near and that investment in it will be profitable.
