Vote For BizTimes Most Social Milwaukee Company & Support A Non-Profit

Since 1988, Milwaukee's BizTimes' Future 50 Program, recognizes privately-owned companies in the seven county region that have been in business for at least three years and have shown significant revenue and employment growth. As part of that program they are holding a contest to vote for the Most Social Company' of the Fortune 50. The company chosen gets to pick a non-profit of their choice to receive a package worth $10,000 to help them in their mission including $1,000 cash.

It is tough since there are many great businesses and organizations, but based on the companies and their chosen non-profit, GMMG endorses Lowlands Group for Dream Bikes Milwaukee as the man-friendliest pairing of company and organization and we encourage you all to get on and vote for them.



Lowlands Group is a second year Future50 winner located in Milwaukee. The company owns and operates several restaurants in the Milwaukee area including Cafe Hollander, Trocadero, Cafe Centraal and Cafe Benelux. The company will compete on behalf of Dream Bikes of Milwaukee. Dream Bikes works closely with the Boys & Girls Club of Milwaukee to provide youth living in Milwaukee neighborhoods a safe, professional place to work, earn a wage, and learn valuable and marketable job skills for their futures. The organization also provides children and adults in these neighborhoods with bicycles and helmets that they may not have otherwise been able to afford. For more information on Lowlands Group or its Restaurants visit www.lowlandsgroup.com or "Like" any of the company's restaurants on Facebook. To learn more about Dream Bikes or to support the organization's mission visit www.dream-bikes.org or "Like" them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/DreamBikesMilwaukee

The details of the contest are below:
- A Facebook account will be required to vote.

- Voting ends Friday September 13th, at 11 PM.

- Ad package consists of 2 ¼ page print ads in BizTimes Milwaukee magazine and a 2-page nonprofit profile in the 2014 Giving Guide. In the event the nonprofit has already financially committed to be in the 2014 Giving Guide the profile will then be replaced with an additional ½ page print ad in BizTimes Milwaukee. No additional substitutions will be offered. Campaign is non-transferable and all ads must run before August 31, 2014.
- In the event that a company wins that has not designated a nonprofit organization, BizTimes Media will give that company one day to select an organization or one will be selected at random for them.

Whoever you support, head on over here to vote, and spread the word.

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.

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 - ...
