Be A Force For Change With Target Star Wars Ts

If you haven't heard, there's a new Star Wars movie coming out in two weeks. It's also the holiday season of gift giving. The confluence of these two events obviously lends itself to many sales of Star Wars merchandise, and many different businesses will make lots of money off of it.

I love me some some Star Wars, but with my Social Responsibility philosophy I prefer to give and get gifts that some how promote personal or communal wellness, so I was very excited to see Target has come out with merchandise that fulfill both those passions with the Star Wars Force4Fashion line of Ts. This line of special Rogue One inspired designs is made to support UNICEF. For each specially marked men’s and women’s Force 4 Fashion Rogue One t-shirt purchased through Target’s retail operations from November 27 – December 31, 2016, Target will donate $5 USD to U.S. Fund for UNICEF to support the UNICEF Kid Power program; maximum donation: $1 million USD

What it is even greater is the price point of these Ts. I expected to click on the link and see them to be at least $20, if not more, but they are each priced at $12.99. That makes them accessible to many people, and also makes the $5 donation more admirable: $5 from $13 is a lot more generous than from $20 or $25 as these easily could have been as special edition charitable items.

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 - ...
