(FROM THE ARTICLE: The writer threatened mass assassinations for pretty much everyone who receives a state government pension, including survivors and heirs. To avoid this fate, the author demanded in the form letter that the pension actuarial tables be changed and the state’s constitution be amended to remove the pension protection clause before instituting a graduated income tax. The writer also demanded unspecified “cap$ and clawback$ for outrageous$ pension payout$” and local government consolidation. He or she also demanded the end of pension double-dipping and “playing salary games at career’s end to max out your take.”)

My critics/opponents have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should pay reparations, that is, that I should pay the price of Affirmative Action, Diversity, and Inclusion. They stress that I am White, male, old (born in 1948), Republican, conservative, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), non-poor, 100% German national origin, draft avoider, retired, and my ancestors have been in America since 1844.).

EUREKA TIMES STANDARD
— On ‘Seeking: digital natives’ – ANGELA COPELAND (DIERSEN: How long have you had your email address? I have had diersen@aol.com for more than 24 years, since January of 1995 when I was 46 years old. How long have you owned a computer system? I have owned a computer system since 1982 when I was 34 years old. While I worked for GAO during the 1990s, before GAO provided its staff with computer systems, I bought several computer systems and used them in my office. I published Milton Township Republican Central Committee’s (MTRCC) first website in 2000 and served as MTRCC’s webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I published Milton Township’s first website in 2001 and served as its webmaster 2001-2003. I served as Illinois Center Right Coalition’s webmaster 2004-2006. I have been sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails since 2000 and publishing copies of them at www.gopillinois.com since 2005. I have been on Facebook since January of 2009.)
https://www.times-standard.com/2019/05/26/career-corner-seeking-digital-natives/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This term makes sense at first. But, the definition of a digital native, according to Dictionary.com, is “a person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the internet from an early age.” Those who are turning forty this year probably started to use the internet around 1995, when they were sophomores in high school — if they were lucky. That was in the time of the dial-up modem and America Online. Their parents were ahead of the game to have a home computer then. In all likelihood, they really began to use computers when they went to college. It should be noted that I’m omitting early Mac computers and things like Atari for the purposes of this column. I’m talking about the real-deal internet. Digital natives had the internet in elementary school or middle school. Wikipedia says digital natives “are often used to describe the digital gap in terms of the ability of technological use among people born from 1980 onward and those born before.” By this definition, a digital native would be 38 years old or younger today. Let that soak in. A job description that specifically requests that someone is 38 years old or less. Why does this happen? I don’t have the answer for you. I’d like to know this myself. I thought that the idea of a job posting was to hire someone with a certain skillset rather than a certain age. I also heard this rumor that discriminating on the basis of age when hiring is not allowed. In fact, I think there may be something called the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.)

BUSINESS NEWS DAILY
— How Can You Tell if a Job Candidate Is Lying About Their Credentials? – Adam C. Uzialko
https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/11314-background-check-candidate-credentials.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When employers don’t want to conduct candidate verification themselves or feel it would be better handled by a professional third party, there are background check services. These companies are available to screen candidates, usually for a per-candidate fee, and provide background check reports for the employer’s review. Background checks generally review criminal history at the federal and state level, as well as verify past employment and educational attainment. “Manual verification of job candidates, especially in high-volume situations, may be impractical,” Chancey said. “For best results, employers should consider partnering with a reliable background screening vendor. Look for a vendor whose screening platform is easy to use and takes out the hassle of verifying multiple candidates, integrates with other HR systems such as the applicant tracking system, and whose capabilities can be customized to the needs of your organization.”)

I refused to help my Democrat superiors and supervisors get rid of their employees because they were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran and had not made GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40. I complained about political affiliation discrimination. I complained about reverse discrimination. I complained about age discrimination. I complained about retaliation. In 1988, when I was 40 years old, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.)

Operatives and dupes who work for my critics/opponents hint/imply/argue/shout that a) their parents have/had far less money than my parents and b) that I have always had a tremendous unfair advantage in life because my parents were filthy rich.

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; collected delinquent taxes 1971-1980; and audited federal agencies 1980-1997.)

AMERICAN PROSPECT
— Pelosi Must Not Run Congress Like Trump Ran His Businesses Congress doesn’t have the resources right now to take on Trump, and Democrats aren’t fighting to acquire them. – DANIEL SCHUMAN (FROM THE ARTICLE: Congress is a shadow of itself. What this means in terms of personnel, for example, is House committee staff fell by one-third from 1994 to 2016, from 1,947 people to 1,298. Government Accountability Office staff fell by one-third, from 4,572 to 2,989.)
https://prospect.org/article/pelosi-must-not-run-congress-trump-ran-his-businesses
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A quarter-century ago, Newt Gingrich set out to destroy Congress as a force for progress, slashing the House’s funding by 14 percent and eviscerating its support agencies, like the Office of Technology Assessment, which drafted reports on emerging scientific and technological issues. In the last decade, House Republicans literally decimated funding for the House. Overall funding for the legislative branch is down by $370 million in constant dollars over the last decade alone, and funding for committees over that time has dropped by 22 percent—from $432 million to $329 million in constant dollars. Congress is a shadow of itself. What this means in terms of personnel, for example, is House committee staff fell by one-third from 1994 to 2016, from 1,947 people to 1,298. Government Accountability Office staff fell by one-third, from 4,572 to 2,989; and the Congressional Research Service fell by one-quarter, from 835 to 609. This is colloquially known as the lobotomization of Congress. The average expertise of and resources available to the rump of remaining staff have dropped precipitously, and few in power have any real experience governing. As if you couldn’t tell. To sum up, Congress is in no shape to take on Trump.)

— How the Rural-Urban Divide Became America’s Political Fault Line Such a conflict isn’t unique to the U.S., but the consequences are far-reaching here. – Emily Badger
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/21/upshot/america-political-divide-urban-rural.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the United States, where a party’s voters live matters immensely. That’s because most representatives are elected from single-member districts where the candidate with the most votes wins, as opposed to a system of proportional representation, as some democracies have. Democrats tend to be concentrated in cities and Republicans to be more spread out across suburbs and rural areas. The distribution of all of the precincts in the 2016 election shows that while many tilt heavily Democratic, fewer lean as far in the other direction. As a result, Democrats have overwhelming power to elect representatives in a relatively small number of districts — whether for state house seats, the State Senate or Congress — while Republicans have at least enough power to elect representatives in a larger number of districts. Republicans, in short, are more efficiently distributed in a system that rewards spreading voters across space. . .The median congressional district in America looks ideologically more Republican, Mr. Rodden finds (the median precinct in the chart also voted slightly Republican). And so Democrats have to find a way to win in those places, even as the progressive wing of the party is ascendant and lobbying for control of the party’s message. If Democrats hold on to some suburbs they recently flipped — a possibility as suburbia diversifies and as college-educated whites move toward the Democrats — Republicans could one day be as concentrated in rural areas as Democrats have been in cities. In that situation, one where Republicans pack their votes more tightly in rural America and the median suburban district becomes slightly Democratic, the urban party might actually start to benefit from geographic polarization. But there will still always be the Senate.)

AMERICAN GREATNESS
— President Trump Can Win on Race – Karin McQuillan
https://amgreatness.com/2019/05/20/president-trump-can-win-on-race/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The good news for President Trump is that most Americans agree with Republicans about race: that we are all created equal and deserve equal treatment and opportunity. The problem is that far too many Americans believe the lie that Republicans, instead of adhering to these basic truths, are racist. President Trump has the courage to express our views on race. We can win on this issue. Democrats don’t want all citizens to be treated equally. Democrats want people treated differently and according to their skin color. They want group justice. They call it social justice because it sounds better. In their idea of a just America, whites, Asians, and Jews must give up opportunities as a group, and blacks and other people of color must be privileged with extra opportunities and reparations. By their definition, Democrats claim half the country is racist. Understand this: the Democratic Party’s idea of racism is defined by group identity, not by an individual’s behavior or beliefs. You’re not biased? Doesn’t matter. Utterly reject discrimination? Doesn’t matter. White? You’re racist. Democrats believe being colorblind is itself racist. Republicans, who believe laws should be colorblind, are by definition racist.)

They stressed that in today’s dollars, my part-time Post Office salary was $17.23/hour in 1969, that my IRS salary was $93,592/year in 1980, and that my GAO salary was $127,654/year in 1997. They stressed that at the end of 1977, in today’s dollars, my net worth was $203,600. They stressed the new cars that I bought in 1966, 1967, 1968, 1971, etc. and the collector cars that I bought in 1989 and 1994. They stressed the real estate that I bought in 1972, 1974, and 1976; the home that my wife and I bought in 1978; and the home that we had built in 1984. They stressed the money that I spent to earn a bachelor’s degree in 1970; master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997; and professional certifications in 1979 and 1981. They stressed the money that my wife and I saved for our retirement.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20190518/how-much-money-do-you-need-to-be-wealthy-in-america
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Merely having a net worth of $1 million, it seems, doesn’t mean you’re wealthy. In Charles Schwab’s annual Modern Wealth Survey, the amount people said it took to be considered rich averaged out to $2.3 million. That, the company said, is “more than 20 times the actual median net worth of U.S. households.” It’s also a very slight drop from the $2.4 million average in the two previous iterations of the survey. The older one gets, the higher the bar goes, predictably. Among baby boomers (roughly age 55 to 73), the average net worth you need to be considered wealthy is $2.6 million, 35% higher than what millennials envision as the admission price to the plutocracy. For someone to be deemed merely financially comfortable, the required net worth shrinks significantly. The average amount was $1.1 million, and only Generation Z (about age 9 to age 22, though Schwab’s sample was 18 to 22) cited a number below $1 million ($909,600, to be exact.) The Schwab survey, which took a national sample of 1,000 Americans between the ages of 21 and 75, also revealed that the majority of Americans really crave real estate. More than 50% of respondents across generations said that if they got a $1 million windfall, they’d spend it, and the most popular purchase would be a place to live — particularly among millennials (roughly age 22 to 37).)

— The real cost of school for first-generation college students “The biggest gap in understanding the cost of college has to do with nontuition expenses, which are primarily living expenses,” said the author of a new report. – Esta Pratt-Kielley (DIERSEN: I was a first-generation college student. My outstanding parents provided me with room and board in their Crete home a) 1966-1968 while attended UIC, b) weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969. I paid for a) tuition and books at UIC 1966-1968 and at NIU 1969-1970, b) room and board for three semesters and a summer session at NIU, c) a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442, and d) a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE with money that I earned a) cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966; b) delivering mail 1966-1969; and c) working on an automobile assembly line and as a security guard in 1970. I graduated debt-free from NIU in August of 1970 owning that 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

FORBES
— U.S. Courts Crack Down On Employers Using ‘Slippery’ Criteria To Hide Discrimination – Patricia Barnes (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. They use very slippery criteria to not hire and to get rid of those who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who did not make GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A growing number of federal appeals courts are recognizing that nefarious employers are using subjective criteria to justify discriminatory hiring decisions. This has been an epic problem for decades in age discrimination litigation, where it is not unusual for workers with objectively superior qualifications to be passed over in favor of candidates who are deemed a better “cultural fit.” This month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit joined four other federal circuits to rule that an employer may not defend a discrimination charge with “vague” and “slippery” reasons because of the “intolerable risk that a nefarious employer will use [them] as a cover for discrimination.” The court said employers must articulate “specific reasons” for employment decisions, such as “the candidate’s ‘seniority, length of service in the same position, personal characteristics, general education, technical training, experience in comparable work or any combination’ of such criteria.”)

— How saving and sensible investing can pay for a long, active, comfortable retirement – Thomas Heath (DIERSEN: Your required minimum distribution (RMD) says a lot about how successful you were saving for your retirement. My RMD is only about $10,000/year. It would be much greater if my Democrat superiors in the federal government had not wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20190519/how-saving-and-sensible-investing-can-pay-for-a-long-active-comfortable-retirement
(FROM THE ARTICLE: White and his wife live mostly on the dividends from 62 blue-chip companies, including Coca-Cola, Bristol-Myers, Ford, Verizon, Caterpillar, American Electric Power, Duke Energy, Baxter Labs, Johnson & Johnson and PPG Industries. He also owns a couple of exchange traded funds (ETFs). He said all the holdings have appreciated “a lot,” but he doesn’t plan to sell any because, (a) he doesn’t need the money and (b) selling would create a sizable tax bill. (He hates the “required minimum distribution” that he must take on his tax-deferred retirement accounts because they raise his taxes.) White is fortunate in one respect. His father, who was an engineer with New York Telephone, gave him early training in investing and taught him the value of owning shares in good companies. It took me until I was 40.)

CRAIN’S CHICAGO BUSINESS
— Chicago CEOs outrun peers on pay, while employees trail national median The wide pay gap reflects the area’s high concentration of big companies with lots of low-wage workers. – STEVEN R. STRAHLER (DIERSEN: Trump’s salary is only $400,000/year. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary in 1997, when I was 49 years old, was $127,654/year. That pay ratio is only 3.13. If Trump’s salary was adjusted for inflation, it would be $704,687/year today. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who viciously demonize, viciously denigrate, and viciously condemn government employees as being overcompensated. My GAO salary would have much lower if I had not earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. My GAO salary would have been much higher if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/news/chicago-ceos-outrun-peers-pay-while-employees-trail-national-median
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The average Jo working at a Chicago public company made 1.3 percent more last year, lifting her median wage to $68,262—barely 1 percent of the middling CEO’s $5.6 million. For the second consecutive year, proxy filings compare CEO compensation to the median-paid employee’s. Excluding a couple of outliers, this so-called pay ratio ranges between 661 and 12 at the 107 local companies reporting so far. Chicago’s median pay ratio rose from 111 to 113.5 in 2018. That’s well above the nationwide median of 74, with a typical local CEO making 14.6 percent more than counterparts around the country. The opposite was true for median-paid workers at Chicago-based companies, who made nearly 20 percent less than the national median of $84,398, which rose faster last year than Chicago’s median.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The College Board plans to add a 1-to-100 “adversity score” to student SAT results, in a well-intentioned attempt to add context to a youngster’s performance on the test and — this is the theory, anyway — encourage schools to admit more high-potential youngsters from disadvantaged backgrounds. So far, they’re hiding the formula of how 15 different variables, including a school or neighborhood’s poverty levels, housing stability and crime rates, will be weighed in boiling everything down to a single, simple number. Bad beginning, especially for an institution committed to teaching and learning.)

According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, baby boomers like me were born with a silver spoon in their mouth and they have always been privileged. They hint/imply/argue/shout that if I had been a member of any other generation, I never would have been able to a) buy new cars and collector cars like I did, b) earn college degrees like I did, c) buy real estate like I did, d) get married like I did, e) earn professional certifications and a professional license like I did, f) save for retirement like I did, g) etc.)

— Kamala Harris Seeks Fines for Firms That Fail to Close Gender Pay Gap Presidential hopeful’s plan: Take 1% of a company’s profit for every 1% difference in wages for equal work – Ken Thomas (DIERSEN: While I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years, it paid its minority and female employees who had education, work experience, and professional certifications and licenses comparable to what I had higher salaries than it paid me. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

MARKET WATCH
— Congress gets serious about retirement saving The government wants Americans to take more initiative for retirement planning – Alessandra Malito (DIERSEN: Your required minimum distribution (RMD) says a lot about how successful you were saving for your retirement. My RMD is only about $10,000/year. It would be much greater if my Democrat superiors in the federal government had not wasted my career and forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/congress-gets-serious-about-retirement-saving-2019-05-16
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Increases the required minimum distribution age to 72 from 70 ½ years old by 2023, and then age 75 in 2030; creates an exception for individuals with $100,000 or less in eligible accounts, so that they can continue saving instead of having to withdraw; and reduces the penalty for failing to take RMDs from 50% to 25% of what they should have distributed. “It has a lot of common sense things that would make life easier for retirement savers and plan sponsors and administrators,” Grohowsky said.)

Now that the Democrats have moved in, disgustingly, tragically, there is lots of “blight, poverty, joblessness and crime” in Crete.)

The aforesaid completely agree with, if not orchestrated, all the adverse actions that the Post Office, IRS, GAO, Milton Township Republican Central Committee, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, Illinois Center Right Coalition, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, and TAPROOT Republicans took against me. Many of the aforesaid also promote religious discrimination and national origin discrimination.)
