I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969, IRS 1971-1980, and GAO 1980-1997. There were no charges of racism or sexism against those employers. But nevertheless, there was tremendous pressure from Democrat elected officials on those employers to hire, retain, and promote minorities and females. The Democrats who ran those employers responded by wasting the careers of and by getting rid of their White male Republican employees.)

— You need to have $5M in the bank to ‘survive’ – Kevin O’Leary (COMMENT: I have nowhere near $5M in the bank. My Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars and b) less than what my salary was in 1972 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/savingandinvesting/kevin-o-leary-says-you-need-to-have-5m-in-the-bank-to-survive-no-matter-what-happens-here-s-the-math-behind-his-number-and-how-to-hit-it/ar-AA1jQSTs
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In coming to his figure, O’Leary assumes a 6% to 7% return on $5 million should be enough to support a family regardless of economic conditions. This implies annual passive income of $300,000 to $350,000 — well above the median household income of $74,580. “When you make that, you set it aside and don’t risk it,” he says. “Then after that you can take risk capital and put it to work.” Some analysts might say O’Leary’s assumption of 6% to 7% annual return is on the optimistic side. Many savers operate following the “4% rule” in setting expectations for passive income. The rule, which is based on research published in the 1990s by financial adviser Bill Bengen, holds that retirees can safely withdraw 4% from an investment account without depleting it. Bengen has gone back and forth in recent years about whether that number still stands up, but remains a more conservative formula than the one suggested by O’Leary. Substituting 4% for O’Leary’s “6% to 7%” would yield $200,000 in passive income every year — still a better-than-average living. So how do you raise that $5 million principal? Here’s O’Leary’s advice.)

FOX PHOENIX
— Biden Criticizes Supreme Court’s Decision on Affirmative Action (COMMENT: I should write a book about why Biden has not had paid the price of Affirmative Action (AA) like I have had to pay big time even though we share many demographics: White, male, born in the 1940s, draft avoider, married, Corvette owner, gun owner, Christian, and our ancestors have been in America for a long time. I would focus on our differences: Biden is liberal, Democrat, his parents had lots of money, Catholic, and Irish American. I would focus on the fact that I am conservative, Republican, my parents had way less money, Protestant, and 100% German American. Democrat leaders and RINO leaders have always determined who pays the price of AA and how much.)

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Strip Clubs, Lewd Photos and a Boozy Hotel: The Toxic Atmosphere at Bank Regulator FDIC. Employees say sexual harassment, misogyny pervade federal agency tasked with ensuring stability of nation’s banks, driving women to leave. – Rebecca Ballhaus (COMMENT: I should write a book about the extreme preference that my Democrat GAO superiors gave their female employees and how I objected to that. I would focus on their female employees who they promoted over me who had a) less job-related work experience than I had, b) less job-related education than I had, c) no professional certifications or fewer certifications than I had, and/or d) no job-related professional license like I had. I would focus on their female superiors and supervisors who took the most/biggest adverse actions against me.)
