(FROM THE ARTICLE: Can elected public officials discriminate from among the reporters who cover their activities based on who they like and don’t like? Obviously not, according to legal interpretations of the media’s First Amendment rights. More narrowly, can public officials pick and choose among news outlets, allowing some to cover their events while barring others? A federal appeals court in Chicago just answered the latter question in the affirmative. But it qualified its decision by asserting that the official picking and choosing must be based on neutral factors applied across the board.)

(DIERSEN: GAO works for Congress. During the mid-1990s, Newt Gingrich loomed large over the decisions that GAO made to deal with Gingrich’s tremendous GAO budget cuts. Gingrich let the Democrats who ran GAO deal with his budget cuts by getting rid of GAO employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $102,188) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $120,755) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $142,041) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $172,500) by age 40. Extremely few GAO employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)

(DIERSEN: Between 1978 and 1992, while my wife worked for the U.S. League of Savings Institutions, we took four short vacations every year following her business trips, most commonly to luxury golf resorts across America. Most commonly, we rented a car and visited nearby national parks. Needless-to-say, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious about that, and especially those whose spouse had little or no income and those who were not married.)

— To Break a Nation, Try Saturation Mass-Marketing – Eric Rozenman
(DIERSEN: Of course, the Democrats who have invaded DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton want the aforesaid governments to issue proclamations that the remaining Republicans in DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton are White supremacists, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be driven out immediately. Of course, the Democrats who have invaded DuPage County and Milton Township want the DuPage County Republican Central Committee and the Milton Township Republican Organization to issue proclamations that all Republican candidates, party leaders, precinct committeemen, major donors, etc. must be at least one, two, three, or more of the following: Trump-hater, minority, female, younger, moderate, liberal, LGBTQ, non-married, poor, non-Christian, non-Protestant, non-Italian American, non-German American, and/or their ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)
https://townhall.com/columnists/ericrozenman/2021/04/18/to-break-a-nation-try-saturation-massmarketing-n2588056
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To break a nation, one doesn’t need invading armies, nuclear missiles or even a cyber warfare attack that fries the electrical grid. An incessant marketing campaign will do. Rebranding the United States as “racist”—allegedly systemic, structural or some other impossible-to-pin-down modifier—advances a false narrative. The objective is to demoralize proud Americans. Historically, radicals have used self-justifying promotional techniques to seize power. Nazis rode their “stab-in-the-back” conspiracy explanation of Germany’s World War I defeat from obscurity to total control in just a few years. In the name of “the people,” a small Bolshevik party pursued elastically defined “class enemies”; success allowed them to impose Soviet tyranny. Now a defuse movement, incubated on campuses for decades, grabs for power in the United States. Conjoined triplets—academia, Hollywood and partisan journalism—operate as a de facto “Ministry of Truth.” Apart from dissident conservative outlets, the movement to convict America as intrinsically racist has obtained what psychological warfare practitioners call “information dominance.”)

— Home Ownership = Racial Equity – Shannon Horton
(DIERSEN: What enabled you to buy your first home? I bought a new town home in University Park September 1972 when I was 24 years old. The down payment came from what I had earned a) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights full-time August 1970-March 1971 and then part-time since March 1971 and b) working for IRS in Chicago and then in Harvey since June 1971. That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972.

— Post-pandemic, some millennials finally decide to start #adulting – JENNIFER ROSNER
(DIERSEN: What encouraged you to start adulting? Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. Because my father had brittle (hard to control) type 1 diabetes from age 14, everyone always thought that his days were numbered. He died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant on the far east side of Chicago Heights 1941-1969. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did not buy a new car until he was 45 and it was a bottom of the line 2-door Chevy. His career advancement was limited not only because he had brittle type 1 diabetes, but because he did not have a college degree. Doctors advised him and advised his parents that the stress of getting a college degree would harm his health. The aforesaid encouraged me to take college preparatory courses in high school, get a score of 24 on the ACT, and graduate in the upper 20% of my class. The aforesaid encouraged me to earn money a) to buy a new car to commute to classes at UIC from my parents’ home in Crete, b) to pay for my college expenses, and c) to become a home owner. I did yard work and delivered newspapers 1962-1964; washed dishes 1964-1966; cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966; delivered mail 1966-1969; worked on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970; sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances 1970-1971; pumped gasoline 1971-1972; and collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980. I bought a new Pontiac Tempest Sprint (a poor man’s GTO) in 1966, new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and a new 1972 Corvette in 1971. I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972, a studio condo in downtown Chicago in 1974, and a one bedroom condo in the same building in 1976. I graduated debt-free from NIU in 1970, earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and earned a master’s degree in an accounting from DePaul in 1980. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 and I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981.)

In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint.

AMERICAN THINKER
— The Diversity Industry Has Turned the Clock Back…to 1960 – John Green
(DIERSEN: Democrats and RINOs use Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion to get rid of Republicans.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/04/the_diversity_industry_has_turned_the_clock_backto_1960.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whether intentional or not, diversity ideology has become another framework to keep us all separated. By valuing and encouraging our differences, we’re reinforcing (strengthening) the things that separate us. We’re raising, not lowering, the walls. After fifty-plus years of attempting to desegregate, now even the civil rights movement is telling us to segregate again. A number of colleges are even having separate graduation ceremonies for different minority groups — and it’s reported as though it were a good thing. What’s next — separate dining rooms? There’s a word for a system of separate treatment — apartheid. I thought that was supposed to be a bad thing. I guess it becomes good when the right people ask for it. So what have we achieved after generations of trying to rid our society of racism? Hyphenated citizenship: African-Americans Chinese-Americans Mexican-Americans Irish-Americans (otherwise known as white-privileged-Americans) Native-Americans (those would be the American-Americans) The very groups that demanded desegregation in the ’60s are now self-segregating. Does anybody think this is good? Before you answer, remember that we just suffered through a summer of watching our cities burn to the ground — and we’re bracing for an encore again this year. All because we no longer trust those outside our assigned group.)

During my junior and senior years and the summer in between, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights.

(DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, I drive fewer and fewer and fewer miles each year.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/insurance/allstates-pay-mile-policies-boom-work-home-era
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Covid-19 shutdowns that swept the U.S. have been a boon for a newer auto-insurance product: pay-per-mile coverage. During the pandemic, Allstate Corp. has seen interest surge in its Milewise offering, which lets customers pay auto-insurance premiums for just the amount of driving they actually complete, said Glenn Shapiro, president of Allstate’s personal property-liability operations. The number of cars insured through Milewise was about six times higher last year than in 2019, and there were roughly four times more policies, with some covering multiple vehicles.)
— The next tough conversation is about class. It’s a worldwide phenomenon with real implications: Socio-economic disadvantages prevail in every major economy. Why isn’t the discussion more prevalent when we consider workplace diversity? – EMILY DRAKE and TODD CONNOR
(DIERSEN: Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/chicago-comes-back/next-tough-conversation-about-class
(FROM THE ARTICLE: TC: We recently came across this Harvard Business Review article that elevated another diversity category we do not generally talk about, but has profound implications: class. Workers who come from lower social-class origins in the United States are 32 percent less likely to become managers than those who come from higher social-class origins. This, it turns out, is a worldwide phenomenon, with social class disadvantage prevailing in every major economy in the world. Reading this is both not a surprise, but also struck me for the novelty. Why isn’t the conversation about class more prevalent when we consider diversity in the workplace? ED: That’s a big question, and I’m not sure there’s one answer. It is true that while companies have a number of employee resource groups, very few (only Uber, according to the research of the author) explicitly has an employee resource group based on social class. The conversation can, perhaps, feel stigmatizing. People are uncomfortable talking about wealth, social class and having grown up poor or to parents who did not receive a college education, yet these things can have real-world impacts on our opportunities in life. It is not a protected legal class for employees, so that, too, probably speaks to why we have not elevated the conversation more in the workplace. But it does matter because the implications are real.)

— Instead of rental vouchers, give people a shot at owning a home – MIKE LOFTIN
(DIERSEN: Where did your down payment come from? I bought a new town home in University Park September 1972 when I was 24 years old. The down payment came from what I had earned a) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights full-time August 1970-March 1971 and part-time since March 1971 and b) working for IRS in Chicago and then in Harvey since June 1971. That money also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in October 1971 and to pay tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola starting in January 1972. I had graduated debt-free from NIU August 1970 owning a 1969 Dodge Charger SE. The money for tuition, books, and room and board came from what I earned delivering mail for the Park Forest Post Office November 1966-September 1969.)
