Financial advisers and institutions typically counsel someone aim to have 70%
to 80% of their pre-retirement paycheck. Another estimate is roughly 75%,
according to T. Rowe Price, because living expenses go down, taxes will likely
be reduced and there won’t be a need to put so much toward retirement savings
anymore.)

from IRS. What would Lipnic say about that? In 1997, when I was 49 years old,
the Democrats who ran GAO forced me to take their early retirement
“offer” a) because I had been an active member in a class action
lawsuit since 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged them with reverse

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 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.)

— 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.”)

— 5 common career mistakes to avoid at all costs – DANDAN ZHU (DIERSEN: Given
your demographics, what harmed your career? The following harmed my career in
the federal government: I did not become a veteran. I did not become a
Democrat. I did not become a yes-man. 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.) https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/5-common-career-mistakes-to-avoid-at-all-costs

with disabilities, but faces little oversight because it’s a church – Anna Kim
(DIERSEN: What do churches and their members think of you? My
critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton
hint/imply/argue/shout that that churches in Wheaton, and especially the
churches that they are a member of, have such an extremely low opinion of me
and that they do not want me a) to become a member, b) to attend services, or c)
to give them money. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes
stress that I am a Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed
as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American,
White, male, old (70), non-poor, gun owner, 100% German American, federal
employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for almost 22 years, union member
for almost 12 years, draft avoider, my ancestors have been in America since
1844, and other such negatives. They stress that I oppose promotion of
dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ activity, abortion,
mass/illegal immigration, abolition of the First and Second Amendments, booze,
gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination,
reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.) https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-met-pacific-garden-mission-oversight-20190520-story.html

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.)

— What’s your why? Share it with your audience to sustain your future. –
Jennifer Hefty https://medium.com/trusting-news/whats-your-why-share-it-with-your-audience-to-sustain-your-future-a070669f317 (FROM THE ARTICLE: Why
do we do it? Why do we work in a highly unstable career with no job security?
Why do we cover stories so unimaginably terrible that sometimes all that’s left
for us to do at the end of the day is cry? Why do we endure a high-pressure,
fast-paced environment with little pay while at the same time dealing with a
constant barrage of criticism from those we are trying to serve? (You’ve
unfortunately probably heard some of this before: you’re a liberal rag; you’re
in Politician X’s pocket; have you EVER even HEARD of a copy editor?) We do it
because we care. We do it because our passion for our communities runs deep in
our veins. We do it because we feel a responsibility to tell our neighbors’
stories, keep our cities safe and hold our governments accountable. We do it
because we can’t imagine doing anything else. Historically, we haven’t been
very good at telling the story of our why. But it’s one that is key to
sustaining local journalism for years to come. As the news industry continues to
face more layoffs, I’ve heard my colleagues ask, “So what can we do? How can we
help ensure the future of our news organization?”)
