Further, I knew that my Democrat superiors would advise me to do things that I would not do, namely, become a Democrat, help them get rid of their employees who shared my demographics, promote the Democrat Party platform, promote political affiliation discrimination, promote reverse discrimination, promote age discrimination, etc. Instead, I took my own advice and 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.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Supreme Court Justice Michael Burke is running for election as a Republican. He’s serving from the current 2nd Judicial District. A new district map will be in effect when the next term starts, so if he’s elected Burke will be in the newly drawn 3rd District that covers LaSalle, Bureau, and Grundy counties plus DuPage County where he’s from. Burke joined the state’s highest court last year when Robert Thomas retired. He announced his candidacy today, just three days after Gov. Pritzker signed the bill into law to create the new legislative and judicial districts that’ll be in effect for the 2022 elections. It’s the first redraw of the Illinois judicial districts in nearly 60 years. According to the 72-year old Burke’s campaign web site, people endorsing him for election include St. Sen. Sue Rezin, Illinois House members Tom Demmer and David Welter, former LaSalle County Sheriff Tom Templeton, Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland, and former Illinois Attorney General Jim Ryan. If he wins the 2022 elections, Burke would have a ten-year term toward the end of which he would be up for a retention vote if he wants to keep the job. The ballots in 2032 would ask voters if he should remain a Supreme Court Justice. But the 2022 ballots will ask voters to choose from Burke and other candidates if others run. Justice Michael Burke is not related to Ill. Sup. Ct. Chief Justice Anne Burke.)

My great grandfather and then my grandfather operated Crete’s only hardware store at the northeast corner of Main (Dixie Highway) and Exchange Streets until the 1950s. My parents and I lived in an apartment above that store 1948-1954. My brother continues to live in a house in Crete that my grandfather had built in 1926 on land that his grandfather bought in 1864.)

— Employment: Search for better job proves fruitless – Chris Breach
(COMMENT: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination.)
https://www.daily-journal.com/business/employment-search-for-better-job-proves-fruitless/article_3df77900-1b11-11ec-8a3b-cf363be21e2a.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So, he says, the fruitless hunt for a job is not due to a lack of a resume. Rather, he believes, it’s his age. “The biggest point I’m trying to make is I’m an older worker,” he said. “… I’ve applied [at companies] a number of times. I counted them up the other day — it was 25 different places I’ve applied, and some of them multiple times. I can’t get an interview. “It’s the only thing I could come up with,” he said of his age. “It’s the only thing I could figure.” Kunsch said he thinks his age eliminated him immediately for consideration for many of those positions. While an employer can’t legally inquire about an applicant’s age, some job search websites have required drop-down menu items that might give away an applicant’s age, including year of graduation, etc. “That’s age discrimination,” he said. “There’s got to be a way of governing that. I don’t know.” He’s not alone in feeling like his age has served as a deterrent for potential employers.)
