As the human costs of selling “gender-affirming care” en masse continue to rack up, the zeitgeist has decidedly shifted against activist organizations like the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). Only a few short years ago, the tenets of the HRC were considered an indispensable part of the conversation for any politician or corporation looking to claim the mantle of ‘inclusivity.’
“History will be brutal to those responsible [for gender ideology]. But almost certainly not brutal enough,” wrote Andrew Sullivan last year, in a withering assessment of how sharply the cultural tides turned on the extremes of the transgender movement. He’s right. Sullivan’s assessment of the HRC now seems far more descriptive of many Americans’ perspective: a “morally bankrupt institution … using the scarred bodies of gender-dysphoric children to fundraise.”
But what’s to be our tactical response to organizations like the Human Rights Campaign, who focus much of their efforts on pressuring private companies to adopt radical activist agendas to avoid being deemed bigoted? The significance of the gender ideology debate is only growing — and the tides have mercifully turned away from narratives like the HRC’s, and back toward sanity and normalcy, President Trump’s recent executive order being one such example. It’s a huge win for the public sector — but how bad is it in the private sector, where activists have been hard at work implementing gender ideology for years?
It’s bad. The incursion of gender ideology into the workplace is perhaps most obvious in the healthcare sector. When it comes to the Human Rights Campaign, and their requirement that companies cover puberty blockers as part of their healthcare plans for a perfect score on their Corporate Equality Index, many of the biggest names in healthcare have bent the knee. Walgreens, UnitedHealth Group, Novo Nordisk, McKesson, and many more have perfect scores on the Index — in the absence of any information to the contrary, they’ve complied with activist demands and allowed gender ideology into their corporate policies.
And that’s not even addressing companies like AbbVie (a company my firm’s currently engaging with), that dodge scrutiny regarding the off-label use of their products as puberty blockers. Dodging scrutiny is a common pattern when it comes to the extent of corporate participation in the radical demands of gender ideology — but it’s a pattern we have the ability to break. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
