— Suburban postal workers hold rally amid uncertainty over Trump administration cuts. The Park Forest Post Office would not have hired me in 1966 a) if it had not gotten extra money to deal with the 1966 Christmas rush and b) if it could have found a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would have taken the job. I qualified myself a) by passing the postal employment examination, b) by earning a high school diploma, c) by passing a truck driving test, and d) by owning a car that I could use to deliver mail with.

— The downside of early retirement. Because my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, in today’s dollars, my Civil Service Retirement System pension a) is only 44% of what my salary was in 1997 and b) is less than what my IRS salary was in 1972. But far worse than that, my critics/opponents have always viciously used against me my having been forced to retire early. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I must be an extremely bad person because I was forced to retire even though I had so many qualifications. I had worked for GAO for almost 18 years and for IRS for almost 9 years before that. GAO audits IRS. I had earned an MBA in 1976, a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, and a master’s degree in finance in 1997. I had passed on my first attempt the CPA examination in 1979 and the Certified Internal Auditor examination in 1981. I had earned four more job-related professional certifications in 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997. I had become a licensed CPA in 1981.  My critics/opponents ignore/dismiss/belittle a) the fact that I had been an active member in a class action lawsuit since 1988 that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation, b) the fact that Gingrich had dramatically cut GAO’s budget, and c) the fact that my Democrat GAO superiors gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had one professional certification while I had six, had no CPA license like the one I had, and had always ran the office’s Black History Month events.

That’s Congress’ job,” Glover said.
