Save Your Relationship Save A Pet - Locker's Florist Fundraising ForMADACC

That day is coming in just over a week, the day your entire relationship could be judged on your actions - Valentine's Day. As men what we do on February 14th can make or break our happiness for weeks or months, so we have to make the right choice of what to do or not do. Luckily there is one sure fire way to five a good gift - give one that means something. That may sound harder than it is, of course it should mean something to the other person, but as long as it has meaning it will be sure to pluck the strings of their heart.



I wrote previously on making heart-healthy choices for the dinner, but there's still the prospect of a gift. There are many choices and in the end one of the most popular is simply giving flowers. But a simple and typical choice doesn't have to be mundane. You can amp it up if the gift means something, and for the animal lover in your life there is a great option.

Locker's Florist is offering a unique fund raising program online benefit to three different organizations: Friends of MADACC is one of them. Friends of MADACC (Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting community awareness and improving the welfare of the nearly 13,000 homeless animals MADACC cares for every year.

If your significant other isn't an animal lover you can also select ALS Association of WI or Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. To donate to the chosen organization select the product you would like to send, and on the final page of check out be sure to select "This is for a fundraising effort" check box at the bottom of the page and choose one of the three so they receive $2 from every purchase!

There are many other ways to give when you gift, so if these options aren't appealing take the little bit of effort to look for other options. We wrote about many back in December for the holidays, check out that story for some other ideas.

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 - ...
