We won't try to sugarcoat it, 2020 has been a terrible year for the world. Lucky for us, and for those who've been searching for a positive note lately, we've been determined for a while to turn this year around... and we did :) Watch these two videos that highlight our efforts to come back from this worldwide knockdown and take back 2020.
We know what you are thinking. Two videos? Well, it is 2020 after all. We couldn't just tackle everything in one month (much less in one video), but we can promise, they are worth watching!

Discover & Deliver: Warp Speed Ahead for Promising COVID Vaccine Candidates

Economic View Points
Rising Prices Signal A Recovering Economy
Inflation is slowly creeping up, and this is a good sign in these unusual times. Rising prices are a sign of increased demand and therefore a recovering economy.
Consumer prices have now risen for three straight months in June, July, and August. Producer prices have increased for three of the last four months. They declined in June.

How to Get Your PPP Loan Forgiven
One of the single largest ways the federal government sought to aid businesses suffering from coronavirus-related shutdowns was the implementation of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). After its creation in March 2020, the program was modified several times to ensure more businesses could participate, with the final deadline for PPP hitting on August 8, 2020. As of that deadline, the SBA approved 5.2 million loans worth more than $525 billion.
