Topic: Work From Home

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released a 10-point plan titled "Sheltering From Oil Shocks" in response to Brent crude reaching $120 a barrel. The plan suggests COVID-19 style mandates, including working from home three days a week, reducing speed limits, and imposing car-free Sundays in major cities. Critics view this as a move toward permanent behavioral control and lifestyle rationing.

An executive order now mandates that federal employees return to full-time in-person work immediately, ending the "work from home" era established during COVID-19. Reports suggest many federal workers only appeared in person a few days a month, using mouse-moving devices to fake activity. This inefficiency is blamed for backlogs in Social Security and local government inspections.

A significant crash in the commercial real estate market is predicted as the "work from home" trend becomes permanent, leaving massive office buildings vacant and devalued. Gerald Celente noted that the financial system remains rigged, citing private briefings given by Fed officials to elite clients at Citigroup. As global instability rises, the manipulation of markets continues to suppress gold prices while protecting the interests of major banking syndicates.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson officially announced the end of "Plan B" measures in England, including mandatory COVID certification and work-from-home guidance. While the government will no longer mandate face masks in classrooms or public spaces, the use of the NHS Covid Pass remains voluntary for organizations. This shift is framed as a response to the public's successful booster campaign and a return to "Plan A."

The commercial real estate sector is facing a crisis with office occupancy rates at 32% in the U.S., according to Gerald Celente. He predicts that 20% of workers will never return to offices full-time, leading to a collapse in major city centers like San Francisco. Meanwhile, private equity firms like Blackstone are reportedly spending billions to buy up rental homes, turning the middle class into "plantation workers."
