Toss Your Yucks And See The Bucks

Score Free Bucks Tickets at the State Fair Park Household Hazardous Waste Collection (For Milwaukee County Residents Only). Ten randomly chosen customers will receive a pair of tickets to the Milwaukee Bucks 2013 regular season home opener just by dropping off unused household chemicals this Friday and Saturday at State Fair Park. Five pairs of tickets will be given away Friday and five on Saturday.

Any Milwaukee County resident dropping off compact fluorescent light bulbs, used motor oil, rechargeable batteries and many more approved items at State Fair Park is eligible to win.

The Bucks ticket giveaway will not be available at the Franklin, Menomonee Falls or Milwaukee (38th and Lincoln St.) collection facilities. There’s no charge to visit a collection site and you don’t even have to get out of your car to safely dispose items with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District’s (MMSD) Household Hazardous Waste Program. We’ve kept more than 14 million pounds of hazardous waste out of the environment since the program started in 1997.

The State Fair mobile collection will be held at Gate 8, just off South 76th Street from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on October 11 and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on October 12.

Visit www.mmsd.com/dukes for a list of things you can and cannot drop off, locations, and hours.

Do We Even Understand What A Billionaire Is?

In today's world, we marvel at billionaires, yet very few actually understand what it means.

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 - ...
