BBQ Meals Mission At Harley To Battle Hunger

This Saturday June 18, Wisconsin Harley-Davidson in Oconomowoc will host the 4th HOG and STEER BBQ Competition and Festival, an event in the Kansas City Barbeque Society's sanctioned contests and this year a part of their Meals Mission to provide food for the homeless and hungry.

The HOG and STEER is a KCBS sanctioned State Championship Barbecue Competition and festival held at Wisconsin Harley-Davidson in Oconomowoc, WI. Friday June 17 the competitors move in and start cooking! Saturday June 8 the fun continues with tickets available for BBQ sampling, lots of great live entertainment, cold beverages and fun! But more importantly, besides being a competition, it is part of the Meals Misssion where each team makes additional BBQ to be donated to the homeless.

In 2014, the Kansas City Barbeque Society announced its mission to feed the homeless and hungry in America with its 100KCBS Meals Mission. With the help of BBQ lovers from across the country, KCBS exceeded this goal by almost 15,000 meals. But the fight to end hunger in the United States is far from over. Nearly 15 percent of all US households, including roughly 49 million people, struggle to put food on the table.

This year, KCBS made it their mission to help continue to feed the hungry throughout the United States with 250,000 BBQ meals. By partnering with BBQ lovers from across the country, including volunteers, competitors and attendees at KCBS sanctioned events, KCBS will purchase BBQ for participating teams at select events to assist in this collection of food.

At the Wisconsin HD event, each competing team will be preparing one additional pork butt on Saturday, June 18 during the event which will be collected by Just One More Ministry in conjunction with Feeding America to provide a meal to those in need.

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 - ...
