Good Old Local Help For Local Vet

Potosi Brewing Company and the Iron Horse Hotel are teaming up to help out a local hero tonight. You can't come up with much better of a Well-Met type of event. A local brewery, a non-profit to boot, the epitome of local Milwaukee coolness for a location, and serving a deserving man.

At the Potosi Beer Dinner at Iron Horse you can:

Enjoy five amazing courses from the Iron Horse's award-winning kitchen and six handcrafted beer selections from local Potosi Brewing Company. The evening will begin with a welcome reception at 6:30, followed by the first course served promptly at 7. Cost is $75; $5 from every reservation will be donated to Potosi, Wis. soldier Adam Alexander, wounded in action. RSVP by calling (414) 831-4615.

Iron Horse's praises are sung often, here and elsewhere, but many of you might not know about Potosi beer. Their full history can be found here, but the cool thing about Potosi is that the brewery itself is a non-profit organization whose mission is 'to channel all profits into its markets served to support historical and educational initiatives, and charitable causes' and also houses the American Breweriana Association national museum. Like most micro-breweries they have many brews, but their basic ale is called Good Old Potosi, a 'light bodied and refreshing ale', I recommend this and any of their beers.

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 - ...
