— When you were in high school, were you viewed as being college material? I was not. But nevertheless, I took college preparatory courses, got an ACT score of 24, and made it into the upper 20% of my class. My father frequently decried his not having a college degree. What if you had not earned a college degree? If I had not earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, a) Firestone Stores would not have hired me in 1970, b) Oldsmobile would not have offered me a job in 1971, and c) IRS would not have hired me in 1971. If I had not earned a master’s degree in business in 1976 and in accounting in 1980, GAO would not have hired me in 1980. Further, IRS would not have promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974 if I had not been taking graduate evening business courses. Further, GAO would not have promoted me in 1986 if I had not a) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and c) became a licensed CPA in 1981. Further, the Post Office would not have hired me if I had not passed the postal employment test in 1966 and IRS would not have hired me if I had not passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970.

— Career counseling is very important. My not majoring in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970 was a very big career mistake. I erroneously thought that I could not pass the CPA examination. I did not start taking graduate accounting courses until I was 27. I did not take and pass the CPA examination on my first attempt until I was 30. 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, the accounting profession saw me as being far too old to have a successful career in accounting. The accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a minority, female, or veteran. – Dave Diersen

(FROM THE ARTICLE: U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly putting “America First” even within his own administration. As the president continues to slash the federal workforce, he and his team have reportedly unveiled a new plan to ensure that any new hires are “patriotic Americans” who vow to advance the president’s policy priorities. The White House, in coordination with the Office of Personnel Management, released the directives for the departments to use when recruiting employees in a memo on Thursday. The directives represent a dramatic shift in hiring procedures at the federal level. POLITICO reported that prospective federal employees will now be required to write a short essay about how they plan to advance Trump’s priorities when applying for a job. The new procedure comes after Trump and many of his allies have railed against civil servants and accused them of trying to undermine Trump’s plans. It was also reported that those federal job vacancy announcements starting at a GS-5 pay grade or above will now have to complete the short essay responses to questions about their commitment to the Constitution, how they plan to improve government efficiency, how they plan to advance Trump’s executive orders and policy priorities, and about their work ethic. . .According to the Trump plan, federal employee hiring has focused too much on “elite universities and credentials.” The memo dictates that the government will target recruits from “state and land-grant universities, religious colleges and universities, community colleges, high schools, trade and technical schools, homeschooling groups, faith-based groups, American Legion, 4-H youth programs, and the military, veterans, and law enforcement communities.” The memo also states that agency heads are to “cease using statistics on race, sex, ethnicity or national origin, or the broader concept of ‘underrepresentation’ of certain groups” when deciding hiring or promotions. It also orders agencies to stop disseminating information about the composition of agencies’ workers based on their race, sex, color, religion, or national origin. Trump’s hiring plan also allegedly aims to expedite the hiring process in response to the order directing government-wide hiring to be completed within 80 days. Additionally, on Thursday, the administration issued a memo outlining new guidelines for hiring and talent development plans for leaders within the federal government’s career employee ranks, known as the Senior Executive Service (SES). During his first days back in the Oval Office, Trump issued a memo saying that because those officials “wield significant governmental authority, they must serve at the pleasure of the President.” The most recent memo now criticizes SES hiring as a “broken, insular” process that has “resulted in the hiring of executives who engage in unauthorized disclosure of Executive Branch deliberations, violate the constitutional rights of Americans, refuse to implement policy priorities, or perform their duties inefficiently or negligently.” Prior to the memo, it was claimed the qualifications for SES hiring “included unlawful ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ (DEI) criteria for hiring Federal executives.” Trump’s memo stated that they were eliminating DEI factors in the hiring process and would instead focus on candidates’ efficiency, merit, competence, ability to lead, and ability to achieve results. To sustain the quick 80-day turnaround, the memo claims that OPM will provide an 80-hour intensive “fee-based aspiring executive development program” that’s “grounded in the Constitution, laws, and Founding ideals of our government, and will provide training on President Trump’s Executive Orders.” The program is “designed to equip aspiring leaders with the skills, knowledge, technical expertise, and strategic mindset necessary to excel in senior leadership roles.”)

— Critics/opponents of the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T claim victory. I just bought a 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T. Its base price is $59,595. The base price for the Scat Pack model is $73,985. The Scat Pack does the quarter mile one second faster, but both models are doing 135 MPH at the end.  I also own a 2013 Charger R/T Max. I owned a 1968 Charger R/T show car 1994-2005 and a 1969 Charger SE 1968-1971. I worked on the Chrysler assembly line in Belvidere in 1970.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2025/05/18/dodge-cuts-electric-charger-daytona/83710636007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Dodge is pulling the plug, so to speak, on its base model electric Charger Daytona, the R/T, as it deals with slow sales, but don’t expect what appears to be a limited-edition run of vehicles to turn into collector’s items, according to a key industry watcher. “Rarity does not make a collectible. You need to have demand for it,” said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting for AutoForecast Solutions. “You can’t presume that this will be a Charger Daytona of 1970. They couldn’t sell those originally and years later, they were collectible.” Fiorani said it’s risky to bet on a car of today becoming something that brings big dollars in the years to come, even when the numbers of those made and sold are relatively small. Still, Dodge will continue to offer the more powerful and expensive electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack for the upcoming model year, even as it prepares to launch several gas-powered versions. While it’s not clear how many Dodge Charger Daytonas will be produced this year, so far, the sales picture is showing a fairly light impact. Electric Charger sales – the company did not distinguish between versions – for the first three months of this year were at 1,947. Granted, they were just beginning to arrive in showrooms in January after months of delays. However, the automaker likely had higher hopes. Fiorani noted that he’d recently driven by a Dodge dealership and saw a row of Chargers waiting to be sold. In a statement, Dodge CEO Matt McAlear said, “Production of the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T is postponed for the 2026 model year as we continue to assess the effects of U.S. tariff policies. The Charger’s flexible, multi-energy STLA Large platform allows us to focus on the Charger Daytona Scat Pack’s performance as the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car, add the new four-door model to the Charger mix for the 2026 model year and lean into the new Charger SIXPACK models that will launch in the second half of the year.” Sixpack refers to the engine, the inline-six Hurricane, which will come in 550-horsepower or 420-horsepower variants. The electric Scat Pack promises a peak power base of 630 horsepower with a limited push-button burst to 670 horsepower called the Power Shot. The Dodge website lists the Scat Pack all-wheel drive with a starting price of $73,985, excluding destination charge. Adding gas-powered versions to the lineup is not a surprise, as Dodge had previously said that was the plan. However, the decision, reported earlier by MoparInsiders.com, to end the electric R/T’s run so soon does highlight how the market has changed, both in terms of the slower adoption of electric vehicles and President Donald Trump’s embrace of tariffs. The Charger Daytona is assembled at the Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario, but the batteries initially were to come from South Korea. Fiorani offered some perspective on the potential tariff impact, however. “Everybody is leaning on tariffs for every change in production or sales, whether real or not,” he said. Market realities are, however, what they are. “The idea that an internal combustion engine version would hit the market better at the moment is a strong one,” according to Fiorani. “Buyers haven’t warmed up to EVs as a performance vehicle yet, especially since every EV is a performance model now.” Fiorani also noted that the company’s planned shift in production volume toward the gas-powered Charger would also take the focus off the less expensive EV version – the R/T was listed with a starting price of $59,595, not counting destination. “(They) kind of want to focus on the vehicle that will make money versus the entry-level models that will sell on price,” Fiorani said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you’ve driven past the Chrysler Technical Center (CTC) in Auburn Hills, Michigan lately, you probably noticed something big—literally. Stellantis just unveiled a huge new building wrap on its North American headquarters, and it’s all about celebrating America’s 250th birthday. The 15-story tower now proudly wears a red, white, and blue America 250-themed wrap, complete with the newest Dodge and Chrysler logos, along with bold nods to Jeep® and Ram. It’s part of a new yearlong partnership between Stellantis and America 250, the official group in charge of organizing the country’s semi-quincentennial celebration. This isn’t just some casual ad either. The new wrap covers the entire face of the tower and can be seen from a long stretch of I-75, where over 200,000 vehicles pass by each day. It’s designed to grab attention—and it does. The message is clear: Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, and Ram are proud to be American-born brands and even prouder to help lead the charge into the country’s 250th year of independence. It’s also a return to tradition. Before the merger that created Stellantis, the Chrysler Group was known for frequently updating the tower with new wraps that showcased their latest vehicles or milestones. Over the past couple of years, though, those updates slowed down. In fact, the last wrap—a Jeep® Wagoneer S promotion—was installed back in June 2024. Before that, the building went nearly a year without one. But now, the tower is back to doing what it does best—making a bold statement. The wrap doesn’t just show off new logos; it tells a story. A story about American innovation, independence, and the four powerhouse brands that have become part of the country’s automotive legacy. For car lovers, history buffs, and everyone in between, this wrap is a reminder that Stellantis’ U.S. brands still take pride in their heritage—and they’re more than ready to celebrate the red, white, and blue.)
