If You Are A Vet Macy's Has Got Your 6

Macy's has teamed up with the organization Got Your 6 to help contribute to their organization in a super easy way that benefits you too - When you shop at Macy’s between May 12th and June 9th, you can buy a pin for just $3 to Got Your 6 at the register and in return, will receive a 15/20% savings pass for any day you choose (exclusions apply.) You can also donate $6 to Got Your 6 and receive a golden Got Your 6 pin to wear your support, as well as the savings pass. Click here to find out more. And if you go on Saturday, June 1st Macy’s shoppers will receive a 25% shopping pass when they donate at least $3 to Got Your 6.

The goal of Got Your 6 is for us "regular citizens" to find a way to show appreciation for those who have served. This includes a focus on what they call the "Six Pillars" Jobs, Education, Health, Housing, Family and Leadership. The term " Got Your Six" is a military term that means I've got your back, and I know you've got mine, as emphasized in their current PSA. Sounds like very Well Met goals to me!

So buy a pin and shop for you, join their Facebook page, and thank a current military member or veteran by telling them you've "got their 6". It's especially appropriate this time of year with National Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day coming up.

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 - ...
