As we approach one of the most consequential elections in recent memory, there’s a surprising trend that’s slipping under the radar: the quiet apathy of undecided voters.
While past election cycles saw last-minute surges of enthusiasm or decisive swings towards one candidate, this year, many of those who haven’t made up their minds may not be planning to vote at all. And that tells us a lot about the current state of both major parties and the overall political landscape in 2024.
Disillusioned or Disengaged? Apathy Is in the Air
NBC News has this story out for the weekend about how independents in their most recent polling feel about the election. Overall, it doesn’t give you a promising feel about the state of the democratic process in America.
At this point, undecided voters generally fall into two categories: they’re either disillusioned with the options or disconnected from the process altogether. This year, we seem to be seeing a lot of both.
With polls just days away, these voters are signaling a level of disinterest that’s hard to ignore. Many Americans, worn down by years of political mudslinging and polarizing rhetoric, have simply tuned out. For them, skipping Election Day may feel less like an act of apathy and more like a small act of self-preservation. […]

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.
