CENTER SQUARE ILLINOIS
— Community College reimbursement bill passed. DD: When I was in high school, no one saw me as being college material. At best, they thought that Prairie State College might accept me. But I took college preparatory courses, I got an ACT score of 24, I graduated in the upper 20% of my class, and I got accepted by UIC.

— The employees who you are assigned to supervise can make or break your career. All their employees who my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors assigned me to supervise were Democrats who were minority, female, younger, veteran, unmarried, disabled, and/or had performance problems. I did everything that I could to advance them, but that was not enough for my Democrat superiors. Since the 1960s, employers have been under ever-increasing pressure to hire, to retain, and to promote those who are minority, female, and/or younger. For those who are White, male, and/or older, to get hired, retained, and/or promoted, they ever-increasing have to show employers that they can and that they will advance their subordinates who are minority, female, and/or younger. – Dave Diersen

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
— Justice Department Announces 1.8B Anti-Weaponization Fund. DD: Just kidding, but should I apply? Democrat leaders in Illinois had my Democrat GAO, IRS, and Post Office superiors waste my career and take many big adverse actions against me. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors a) never promoted me beyond GS-12, b) disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and c) disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors a) forced me to resign in 1969 and b) disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. My critics/opponents have always stressed that in Diersen v. GAO, not only Bush’s DOJ sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me, but that no Republican federal elected officials in Illinois came to my defense, that is, they sided with my Democrat GAO superiors against me. To side with my Democrat GAO superiors, is to promote Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, to promote race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— The Unemployment Rate for Younger Workers With a Master’s Degree Has Rarely Been Higher. DD: I spent lots of my time and my money earning three master’s degrees: 16 courses for an MBA from Loyola in 1976 when I was 27, 12 courses for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, and 14 courses for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.

BUSINESS INSIDER
— AI is changing entry-level work. Here’s how to ace your first job after college. DD: When I earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU when I was 21 in 1970, I had to have a job. Consequently, I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was from Firestone Stores for a sales job that did not really require a college degree. My Chicago Heights store boss would never had hired me, but his boss had assigned me to him. He did not have a college degree. He refused to let me start until after I passed a probationary period in Indiana. He disapproved of my avoiding the Vietnam War draft. He disapproved of my being Protestant, my being German American, my having ancestors who had been in America since 1844, and my living in Crete. Under him, I saw that my Firestone career was bleak, if not nonexistent. Consequently, I accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile in early 1971. But Oldsmobile withdrew that offer saying it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. My Firestone Store boss rudely, if not violently, fired me because I had accepted that offer. I had to have a job. So I accepted the only job offer that I got. It was to be an IRS Revenue Officer.
