My Birthday Request On Men's Health Night

I normally do not get personal here. But today is my birthday - which not only is in November when many men's health issues are in the forefront , but coincidentally falls on November 21 which happens to be Men's Health Night. So I will say that my one wish is that all men would this year, and every year, get a regular check up at the doctor. The first Men's Health Night - in 2010 - was on a Blue Moon and so they claimed the more manly color of blue as their badge to promote that men do not go to the Dr. 'once in a blue moon' but go every year.

This is my 150th post at Well-Met, a special post number and also being on my birthday. In the past year I have kept up my goal of regularly positing here about men's wellness - physical and mental health, volunteerism and charity, manners and style.  I have more goals that I have not gotten to, but with the accomplishments I have made in the past year (including participating in National Novel Writing Month where I wrote 50,000 words in a month) I know I can do it.

Anyway, back to that birthday thing. Last year was a 'bigger' one, a milestone number, but this one means more to me because of what the past year has been. I hope that I have inspired even a few men to do something about their own or another's health, and so this year as stated my wish is that all men commit to getting a check up.

And yes, I had my check up this past year, and all is fine with me. How you doin'?

Do We Even Understand What A Billionaire Is?

In today's world, we marvel at billionaires, yet very few actually understand what it means. I know its a ridiculous number we cannot fathom, but the more I looked into it, the more it shocked me how much these people really are worth.  Among the general populace, making 'six-figures' or $100,000 is a benchmark of success and wealth. Millionaires are truly wealthy. But what is often misunderstood is how exponentially large adding another, let alone 3, or 6 a number becomes.  The wealthiest aren't just billionaires either, they are hundred billionaires. Elon Musk is worth 265 billion. That is 265 with 9 zeroes after it. 265,000,000,000. It would take someone making six-figures 2,650,000 years to amass that wealth with no expenses. 2.65 MILLION years. To reach Jeff Bezos' wealth would only take them 1.77 million years. Even someone who makes a million dollars a year (which is wealthier than a millionaire which is just a net worth not annual salary delineation) would ...

DEI Creates Opportunities, Doesn't Lower Requirements

Companies have been being attacked recently for DEI initiatives, such as boycotting, to force them to undo those efforts. These attacks are typically dog whistle coding to cover up discrimination against minorities including women and people of color. The narrative is typically that hiring standards are lowered to include a wider range of employees and that it is a form of reverse discrimination - disadvantaging one group (people that are one or more of white, male, and cisgender). But not only is this not the case, in fact, DEI initiatives are proven to strengthen companies' performance across many metrics - even financially. Someone recently brought up lowering standard for airline pilots as proof that DEI is a radical far left practice that supposedly in this case makes pilots less qualified and flying more dangerous in order to fulfill DEI quotas. A similar case has been made recently regarding the Secret Service and issues with at least one high-profile recent event that is - ...
