NEWSWEEK
— Hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters say “Joe Biden More Likely to Survive 4-Year Term Than Trump.” (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-more-likely-survive-4-year-term-trump-super-ager-study-finds-1536219
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Biden, who will turn 78 just days after the November 3 election, has a 95.2 percent probability of surviving a four-year term in office, compared to Trump at 90.3 percent, according to the study data. Conversely, there is an 82.2 percent chance Biden does not live through January 2025, while Trump has an 86.2 percent chance of dying prior to the end of his potential second White House term. . .Using data tied to genetics, social risk factors and behavioral patterns, Biden is expected to outlive Trump despite being three years older than the president. Each candidate’s parents lived beyond their mid-80s, with Biden’s father living to be 87 and his mother to 93 years of age. Trump’s mother lived to be 88 and his father lived to be 94 years old. . .Trump has an elevated familial risk of developing late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, but the study authors note “neither candidate is expected to have major cognitive functioning challenges” in the near future. The researchers write that Biden has a “nearly perfect health profile for a man his age,” but Trump has “significant but modifiable” risk factors, notably his weight. Both candidates are projected to live longer than the average man in the United States. The probability that Biden reaches the age of 85 is 66 percent and Trump’s is placed at 60 percent. Despite the Trump campaign repeatedly calling Biden’s mental competency into question, the study authors say this is not the case for either candidate. The study was conducted and released prior to Trump’s announcement early Friday that he had contracted COVID-19. His physicians said Saturday that he is set for a full and quick recovery. “The weaponizing of aging to portray the opposing candidate as a doddering old fool, in the presidential campaign, is ageism, pure and simple,” Wilcox said in a press release Friday. “In this election, each candidate is biologically younger than their chronological age.”)

NEWS CHANNEL 20
— Majority of Sangamon County races will automatically go to Republican candidate – Jakob Emerson
https://newschannel20.com/news/local/majority-of-sangamon-county-races-will-automatically-go-to-republican-candidate
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When you fill out your ballot this election season, you may notice many of the local races in Sangamon County are uncontested. Out of the 20 county races this year, 11 will automatically go to the Republican candidate because no Democratic candidate filed. In comparison, two uncontested races will automatically go to the Democratic candidate due to no Republican candidates filing. Kent Redfield is an Emeritus Professor of Political Science at the University of Illinois Springfield. He says the lack of Democrats running in Sangamon County is partly due to the state party’s focus and support moving north to Cook County and Chicago. “To recruit candidates, you need organization, you need a certain amount of money,” Redfield said. “The Sangamon County Democrats are down, and it’s very hard to build back up.” Redfield also said Sangamon County was a competitive race in the past, but voting patterns outside the City of Springfield have trended more conservative for decades. In total, five county positions and 15 county board positions are on the ballot for residents in 2020.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— Trump’s Tax Avoidance Is a Tax on the Rest of Us The majority of taxpayers can’t afford the expensive professional advice on which successful tax-avoidance strategies depend. – Brooke Harrington (DIERSEN: I worked for IRS for almost 9 years and I worked for GAO on audits of IRS for 3 years. Tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance is legal. What did you do to avoid paying higher federal taxes? Instead of renting, I bought the following and deducted mortgage interest and real estate taxes: a) a new town home in University Park in 1972, b) a studio condo in the Outer Drive East (ODE) building in downtown Chicago in 1974, and c) a one bedroom condo in the ODE building in 1976. My wife and I bought a home in Wheaton in 1978 and we had one built in Wheaton in 1984. Instead of spending my time and money on other things, I paid for and deducted tuition, fees, and books a) to earn a job-related MBA from Loyola on 1976, b) to pass the job-related CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) to earn a job-related master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, d) to pass the job-related Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and e) to earn a job-related master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

I should write a book about RINOs in Wheaton who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout who focus on demonizing, denigrating, and condemning Republicans.)

INSIDE PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
— The Illinois CPA Society wants to find out what’s driving the decline in individuals pursuing the CPA credential. (DIERSEN: My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious when I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old. It frustrated their efforts to get rid of me just like my earning an MBA from Loyola in 1976 did.)
http://insidepublicaccounting.com/2020/09/whats-clogging-the-cpa-pipeline/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To that end, the organization has launched a new in-depth research project, anchored by a survey aimed at understanding why some accounting students and young professionals don’t finish or never even consider the CPA exam. Through the survey, targeting accounting and finance students and professionals under the age of 35, ICPAS hopes to uncover trends and key issues that will provide a deeper understanding of the perceptions and value drivers that separate those pursuing a CPA from those who take a pass. The survey results will be used to help develop strategies for promoting the CPA credential and ensuring its sustainability and relevance moving forward. “Earning the CPA credential is one of the most notable ways to establish your professional identity and exhibit a high level of competence in the accounting and finance profession, yet we are witnessing a nationwide decline in new CPAs,” says ICPAS president and CEO Todd Shapiro. “While this trend is not unique to Chicago, Illinois or the Midwest, as a professional membership organization serving CPAs for nearly 120 years, we feel compelled to try to identify the driving factors for the decline.”)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— Biden is slightly healthier, study says, but both presidential candidates may be ‘super-agers’ – JAMES RAINEY (DIERSEN: What do you say to those who promote age discrimination? All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with younger people. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County’s 4th District, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.

https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-09-25/biden-trump-super-agers-longevity-study
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The presidential candidates and their supporters will likely keep belittling the other guy as a doddering old fool, but a group of geriatric experts say in a new paper that both President Trump and challenger Joe Biden appear to have the physical and cognitive tools to make it through four years in the White House. In fact, the two candidates’ relative good health and other advantages — parental longevity, access to top-notch healthcare and abstinence from smoking and drinking — suggest both men are likely to become long-living “super-agers,” who thrive well into their 80s, or beyond, according to a draft report written by three medical doctors and four researchers with expertise in public health, survival analysis and statistics. . .While the candidates are unusually healthy for their age, Biden is projected to live longer because of his routine fitness regimen, compared with Trump’s relatively sedentary lifestyle and obesity, according to the paper. which will be published in October in the Journal on Active Aging. The journal bills itself as “an indispensable tool for professionals who are dedicated to older adults living as fully as possible regardless of age.”)

But there are also differences. At the NDP camp, workers from different parts of the campaign are “bubbled” and not allowed to interact with their fellow party workers. That is not only a drag for the Smith brothers, but for senior bus staffer Marie Della Mattia and her daughter, Emily, who works at NDP headquarters. The NDP says its rules are based on guidelines from WorkSafeBC and Henry’s office: At headquarters, staff work in small cohort teams that arrive and eat at different times while those on the bus sit in spread-out seats and hand sanitize after every stop. On Thursday, the party issued new protocols for journalists, which includes an online form that asks for symptoms and collects contact-tracing information. The Liberals’ safety plan includes many of those same elements, but also details minimizing the number of workers in campaign offices, prohibiting the public from entering the offices or requiring appointments, and using plastic or shower curtains barriers when physical distance cannot be maintained. The Liberals also have rules for canvassing, which includes limiting physical contact with doorbells and railings, hand-sanitizing between each house, never going into voters’ houses, and never petting their dogs and cats. Campaign material should be carried in a plastic bag, workers must “take every possible precaution to avoid sneezing” on it, and it should never be handed directly to a voter. Liberal events should have no more than 50 people, ideally be held outside, provide masks and sanitizer and, when possible, have assigned seating, the party says. In its safety material, the Green party acknowledges that “COVID-19 has created a situation where campaigning is going to look very different.” For starters, canvassers should wear gloves and, this year more than ever, respect a voter who isn’t interested. “Canvassers must understand that the public may not be comfortable with this type of activity at their place of residence. Team members will need to be polite, respectful and sensitive to people’s comfort levels,” the Green material says. Only team members in the same household bubble should travel in a car together. If additional people must be in the car, roll the windows down. In campaign offices, door handles, printers and sink taps must be cleaned several times a day, and Green party volunteers should avoid using common coffee pots, kettles or microwaves — which could make for some tired and hungry volunteers. Even when it comes to donations, the rules have changed. The Green party would prefer “contactless” transactions, presumably e-transfers, or old-fashioned cash can be dropped into a container with a slot on top.)

https://www.npr.org/2020/09/22/915843471/trump-expands-ban-on-racial-sensitivity-training-to-federal-contractors
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump said on Twitter on Tuesday that he had expanded the ban on “efforts to indoctrinate government employees with divisive and harmful sex and race-based ideologies” to contractors doing business with the federal government and those receiving grant funds. “Americans should be taught to take PRIDE in our Great Country, and if you don’t there’s nothing in it for you!” he tweeted. Earlier this month, Trump announced efforts to promote “patriotic education” and railed against students learning about systemic racism. He signed an executive order that requires contracts to now include a provision that says contractors with the federal government will not have “workplace training that inculcates in its employees any form of race or sex stereotyping or any form of race or sex scapegoating” or face the cancellation of contracts. “Instructors and materials teaching that men and members of certain races, as well as our most venerable institutions, are inherently sexist and racist are appearing in workplace diversity trainings across the country, even in components of the Federal Government and among Federal contractors,” the order says. The trainings cited include references to white privilege and systemic racism.)
