Kevin Smith's Real Wayne Foundation Fights Sex Trafficking

For the second year in a row, President Obama has declared January as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. There are a lot of ways to support it, but when you are a guy there may be one that tops any other. Kevin Smith - creator of Jay & Silent Bob and many other man-friendly flicks and fanboy supreme of comic books - co-founded The Wayne Foundation to spread awareness of CSEC (Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children) and building a rehabilitation facility for victims DMST (Domestic Minor Sexual Trafficking). Yes it is named to give a nod to Batman, and their logo even looks like the Gotham skyline with a certain hero's signal.

In the president's proclamation he states that 'During National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month, we stand with all those who are held in compelled service; we recognize the people, organizations and government entities that are working to combat human trafficking; and we recommit to bringing an end to this inexcusable human rights abuse. Human trafficking endangers the lives of millions of people around the world, and it is a crime that knows no borders.' The full proclamation can be seen here.

The Wayne Foundation currently focuses specifically on child trafficking.Their primary objective is to assist female DMST (Domestic Minor Sexual Trafficking) victims in the United States, but want to expand their programs to additionally serve male and adult sex trafficking victims.

You can donate directly to The Wayne Foundation or buy merchandise which includes t-shirts with the Wayne Foundation logo on it - in classic black off course. Or, you can man up in the morning with some Smoffee - in case you didn't know, the Kevin Smith SModCo 'brand' is made ip of all things starting with 'Sm' from his last name like his Smodcast. - coffee from Just Coffee Cooperative of which $1 of every bag goes to the Foundation.

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 - ...
