DAILY HERALD
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH PICTURE: DD: As Democrats move in, poverty and crime increase. DuPage County is a prime example. Democrats have flooded DuPage County since I moved to it in 1978. Poverty and crime have ever-increasingly increased in relative terms if not absolute terms. As time goes on, the Democrats who move have lower and lower and lower incomes. Democrats vote for Democrats. The Democrat Party platform promotes poverty and crime. It destroys personal responsibility. It promotes dependency on government and charity. It promotes vices. I destroys traditional marriage and family. It promotes LGBTQ and abortion. It destroys equal opportunity. It promotes Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, it promotes race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. It promotes hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The CEO of the Glen Ellyn-based nonprofit, Bridge Communities, said more than 3,000 DuPage County schoolchildren are registered as homeless. Van Polen said about 44% of county renters are “rent-burdened,” paying more than 30% of their income for rent. Expenses rise, she said, and wages don’t keep up. . .A typical client, who averages a little over two years working with Bridge mentors while living in one of the 25 apartment buildings Bridge owns countywide, is a single mother in her late 20s with one to three children, Van Polen said. She works, but her job doesn’t provide a living wage. So she has her children stay with relatives while she may live out of her car. There might be a history of domestic violence.)
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Inexperienced, poorly trained ICE and border patrol agents could face legal trouble. DD: IRS hired me when I was 22 years old in 1971 as a GS-7, currently $55,850/year, Revenue Officer. I spend my first 6 months in classroom training. See below from Google AI. IRS promoted me to GS-9, currently $68,315/year, in 1972, to GS-11, currently $82,655/year, in 1973, and to GS-12, currently $99,069/year, in 1974. My Democrat IRS superiors got more and more and more furious at the GAO manager who promoted me. According to them, those promotions should have been given to my Democrat coworkers who were minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. They forced him to transfer to Dallas, and to get rid of me, they disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, they disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and they made it clear that they would never promote me to GS13. They ignored/dismissed/belittled my earning an MBA in 1976 and my passing the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. The aforesaid led to my transferring to GAO in 1980.

Back in the good old days, mine came from what I had earned working for IRS for 15 months, working part-time for a Firestone Store for 21 months, and working for that store full-time for 7 months before that. I bought a new town home in University Park ( https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/774-Sunset-Ct-5-University-Park-IL-60484/5451474_zpid/ ) when I was 24 years old in September of 1972. Zillow estimates it to be worth $90,800 today. IRS had just promoted me and my salary had increased from $55,850/year to $68,315/year in today’s dollars. I had bought a new 1972 Corvette in 1971. I had paid tuition for three graduate evening business courses at Loyola in 1972.

— The True Meaning of Empathy
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/the-true-meaning-of-empathy-5b93dfca
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Some people are performers. In June 2020, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer led a group kneeling in the U.S. Capitol wearing African kente stoles. National Football League end zones say “Choose Love” and “It Takes All of Us.” Empathy? More like images over action. Then there are coddlers. They paternalistically throw money at problems: welfare, drug programs, ObamaCare. They create rules and regulations to protect “marginalized” groups: Title IX, affirmative action and federal contract set-asides. To pay for it, they rationalize redistribution of wealth so the world can be “fair” for everyone. This progressive playbook often fails. See low-income housing, preferential college admissions and rising insurance premiums. Is letting men on women’s swim teams and in women’s bathrooms empathy? I can’t get there. . .New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is a coddler: “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about.” Yikes. Is that empathy or a threat? Sadly, we know how the latter ends. Lately there has been talk of a $140,000 poverty line for a family of four. See what I mean? Economist Milton Friedman put it best: “One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.” Intentions like “social justice” inevitably lead to organizing and activism and raised taxes—empathy is expensive!—and redistribution of wealth, without solving the underlying problems. For me, empathy and that elusive righteousness is about restoring lost dignity. And that often means setting up rules and then getting out of the way and letting freedom and free markets do their magic. There is little political credit for that whole “freedom” thing. Just results. The American way is: Do what you want, but respect the dignity of others. An essential part of respect is to not be pitied. Freedom is dignity. That’s true empathy.)

https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/news/90-of-life-is-ceo-s-take-on-merit-privilege-and-success-divides-internet/ar-AA1SMc3r
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A LinkedIn post by Rohan Verma, CEO and co-founder of Breathe Well-being, has sparked a discussion online about privilege, merit and the role of luck in shaping life outcomes. In his post, Verma argued that educational pedigree and family background play a decisive role in determining future success. He claimed that those who attend elite institutions such as Ivy League universities or India’s IITs and IIMs are far more likely to see their children enter top colleges and corporate leadership roles, while people engaged in low-paid or manual labor largely come from poor families, irrespective of talent or hard work. “If you went to an Ivy League or the IIT/IIM route, your kids will likely attend a good college. And there is zero chance that they will end up doing manual labor. If you are a billionaire, your kids will 100% attend Yale, Stanford, or Harvard (or something similar). And they will later become Board Chairmen and CEOs,” Verma wrote in his post. “On the other hand, – 100% of people doing lowly paid jobs or manual labor come from poor families — regardless of their IQ, talent, or propensity for hard work,” he continued. “This is how privilege persists over generations,” Verma wrote, adding that many manual laborers could have been corporate leaders “had they been born differently”. He concluded by saying that “probably 90% of life is luck,” with only a small fraction accounting for inspirational stories of people who rise against all odds. True humility and awareness, he added, come from recognizing which parts of one’s life fall into that 90%.

I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31. I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt until I was 32. I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32. By then, my IRS and GAO superiors and the accounting profession considered me to be far too old. They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. I should have majored in accounting at UIC 1966-1968, NIU 1969-1970, and Loyola 1972-1976.
