Despite the unusual title that really doesn't summarize the gist of the conversation, Tony Gill appeared on the AIER's YouTube Author's Corner Series talking on Why American Businesses Are Richer Than Ever. The actual content of the talk is why big businesses are not ripping consumers off.
Tony Gill was crowned the October 2021 cribbage champion at the Valley House Brewing Company, going 9-1 in the tournament with three consecutive skunks of his opponents.
