Kaufmann Mercantile Made In USA - Made For Men

My brother recently tipped me off to a very cool website - Kaufmann Mercantile. As the name implies it is an online store, but it is much more than that. It is a veritable resource for a man's live, and all with a very Well-Met outlook.

Forget rum, whiskey is the real man's choice for cologne

First and foremost Kaufmann Mercantile is an online store for 'carefully selected, long-lasting, and well-designed goods'. These are simple, well-made, form follows function, not overly-designed products many of which are all-natural, sustainable, or otherwise 'green' in manufacture. There is lots of leather and metal along with wood. Categories include Accessories, Office, Grooming & Beauty, Tools & Outdoors, Home, Kitchen, Grocery, and Garden as well as all New products. Pricing varies from extravagant to reasonable but considering the quality of make and materials even the expensive items I am sure are worth the price. For the women out there, this is a fantastic place to look for gifts for the upcoming Valentine's Day.

Perhaps the coolest part about the store is you can sort by Region of manufacture, including those Made In USA. American-made products include things like hand-made leather footballs and baseballs, various and sundry natural grooming products, and a variety of tools. Besides the balls, they have many leather products such as a MacBook Air sleeve, dog leashes and collars, and gloves. Handmade wooden products include an iPad stand, clothes hangers and shoe trees, even swings.

But as previously stated, KM is much more than just a store. They are experts on the products they sell and they share their knowledge via their References page, a expanding library of original articles about the history, production, design, and materials, of the type of products they gather for us and customers may just like. Tips on splitting and carving wood, preparing a cocktail, even grooming are side by side with articles on materials and more. They 'hope to create a working library for others to refer to', and I myself will head back there often.

KM launches new products and posts every week. To stay updated, subscribe to their newsletter and/or follow via RSS, Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest.

Remember to check out our list of Goods & Services page for other like-minded local, green, or otherwise forward thinking products for men.

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 - ...
