#MKEPride

While having pride in who and what you are - and how to gain that pride - is the main focus of Greater Milwaukee Men, the other piece of the puzzle is pride in where you are, and since we are talking about Milwaukee, we focus on everything good about the Greater Milwaukee Area: the city, county, and surrounding area.

This shot shows some of the best parts of MKE -
our downtown, the arts, and the lake
You will see many posts here about the great things in Milwaukee, because Milwaukee needs it. Milwaukee is not only underestimated by everyone else, but even Milwaukeeans themselves. In recent years, however, the word has been getting out about the well-kept secret that is Milwaukee. We are getting awards and showing up on many lists of the top communities for various cultural assets. Most of these things make Milwaukee a great place for men, as we talked about in our Milwaukee: Mecca For The Modern Man story.

As we hear of these achievements by our home, we will compile them all here so that everyone can see how great Milwaukee is. Here are the lists that Milwaukee has made:
It is all well and good for other people to think well of us, but we need Milwaukeeans to shout out our love for the city as well, here are the words of those who have done so:
If you know of one we missed please let us know in the comments and we will add it.

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 - ...
