CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Caylor, Chirico answer wide range of questions in first Naperville mayoral candidate forum – Erin Hegarty (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, if recreational marijuana is legalized and municipalities can say NO to the selling and growing of marijuana within their boundaries, candidates for municipal offices should promise to vote NO on the selling and growing of marijuana in their municipalities.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-naperville-mayor-forum-chirico-rocky-st-0125-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Recreational marijuana Chirico said he understands that cannabis has a medicinal value. “I have no question about that,” he said, but the question becomes how do officials make it safe. “Just broadly speaking, I think people getting arrested and incarcerated because they have pot is not a very smart policy,” Chirico said. “Alcohol has a far greater impact on society today than marijuana does.” “As a council and a community, we need to sit down and look at that and say what do we want,” Caylor said. “If we are going to do that, how do we manage that with a firm hand?”)

I have almost 18 years experience working for GAO, the last 11 years of which at the GS-13 Step 1-10 levels, currently $96,403-$125,325/year. Government is nasty. Politics is nasty.

DAILY ILLINI
— Food insecurity leads to federal investigations – OLIVIA WELSHANS (DIERSEN: Did you suffer food insecurity while you earned your bachelor’s degree? I did not thanks to my outstanding parents who provided me with room and board while I attended UIC 1966-1968, weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969, and the summer of 1969. That enabled me to earn enough money working part-time for the Park Forest Post Office a) to pay for tuition and books at UIC and NIU, b) to pay for room and board at NIU 1969-1970, c) to pay for a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, d) to pay for a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, and e) to graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970.)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— On Saturday, U.S. Rep. Sean Casten (IL-06) will host a district swearing-in ceremony and reception at 3 p.m. at the DuPage County Auditorium JTK Administration Building. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin will deliver the keynote address and U.S. Judge Thomas Durkin will administer the oath of office. The public is invited (doors open at 2:45 p.m.). – Shia Kapos

— There was chatter at last week’s inauguration that Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s management and media style can be compared to another governor—Republican Jim Thompson. “Thompson would walk down in the press room and have a few beers with us and try to get to know us casually,” recalled Thom Serafin, a public affairs strategist who worked as a reporter back in the day. “He was good at dealing with people. A lot like Bill Clinton. He’d look you in the eye. You’d feel like he’s really interested in what you have to say. That’s a gift Jim Thompson had, and I see it in J.B.” Pritzker so far seems willing to keep an open line of communication with media. We’ll have to wait and see if he’s ready to have a beer with us. Big Jim Thompson, as he was known, attended Pritzker’s swearing in. He had a knack for giving people responsibility “and then letting them do their jobs,” said James Prescott, a public affairs consultant who worked for Thompson from 1981-88 as a press aide. He attended the inauguration gala and brought along a commemorative coin from Thompson’s 1977 inauguration—the first of four. – Shia Kapos (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the nastiest, rudest, and meanest politicians, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.)

Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman, two left-leaning economists at the University of California, Berkeley, have been advising Warren on a proposal to levy a 2 percent wealth tax on Americans with assets above $50 million, as well as a 3 percent wealth tax on those who have more than $1 billion, according to Saez.)

Trump’s Make America Great Again hats have become a hot-button issue – KRISTEN JORDAN SHAMUS (DIERSEN: From what I see, as Trump-haters ever-increasingly promote hatred of Trump supporters, a Chick-fil-A restaurant is one of few remaining places in the world where you can wear a MAGA hat and not worry about being harassed, insulted, threatened, beaten up, killed, etc. If you wore a MAGA hat, what would the Trump-haters in your neighborhood, in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois do to harm you? Who would come to your defense – the officers of your township/ward/county Republican party organizations, your representative in the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) State Central Committee, the IRP officers, etc.?

They stress that my IRS superiors argued that the graduate business courses that I took at Loyola 1972-1976 and the graduate accounting courses that I took at DePaul 1976-1980 were not job-related, did not help me carry out my job duties, were taken by me to get a job in the private sector, and were a distraction. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my degrees and certifications are stale. They stress that I earned a) my bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970, b) my master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) my professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and d) my professional license when I was 32.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mistake # 3 Left The College Graduation Year Off Or Fudged It Some job hunters removed the graduation date thinking employers can figure out their age. Omitting your year of college graduation was a concern for Lizzie Rahm, HR Senior Manager and Recruiter, Clark Nuber PS who noted that employers may wonder if you had ever finished your degree if they saw no graduation date. Another worry is that a third of all job applicants lie about their education (see the Career Builder study), and when I mention this to Ms. Rahm, she quickly stated that her organization does a background check on every single person they make a job offer to. So if you are lying about the year you earned a degree to appear younger, it will come out. And if you claimed to have a degree that you don’t, that will be in the background report too. The result of lying to this employer is they will terminate your job offer. “There are so many background check companies out there now,” cautions Rahm “that many employers are doing thorough background checks on new hires, so job hunters definitely need to use integrity in creating their resume.”)

— Inside feds’ struggles to make ends meet – AP (DIERSEN: From the beginning of time, government employees have been viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned as being overpaid by those who would never seek or take government jobs because government jobs do not pay enough. I should write a book about this. I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years. Those who have viciously demonized me, viciously denigrated me, and viciously condemned me as being overpaid include a) Money Magazine, b) my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates, and c) my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.)

I obtained my first student draft deferment in 1966 when I was 18 years old, and ever since then, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a draft dodger. In 1970, when I was 21 years old and had earned a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU, employers were extremely reluctant to hire me because they fully expected that I would be drafted. They did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment would be granted, but it was granted, and then, because of my draft lottery number, I was no longer subject to the draft. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted a) that instead of me, the Post Office should have hired a veteran in 1966, b) that the Post Office should gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a veteran could have my job, c) that instead of me, IRS should have hired a veteran in 1971, d) that instead of me, IRS should have promoted veterans in 1972, 1973, and 1974, e) that instead of me, GAO should have hired a veteran in 1980, f) that instead of me, GAO should have promoted a veteran in 1986, and g) that GAO should have gotten rid of me much sooner than it did so that a veteran could have my job and my preferred corner office.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20190122/news/301229872/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Donald Trump says he directed White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders not to bother with the traditional daily briefing of reporters. The last briefing took place on Dec. 18. In a tweet on Tuesday, the president said the press covers Sanders “so rudely & inaccurately, in particular certain members of the press. “I told her not to bother, the word gets out anyway!” he tweeted. “Most will never cover us fairly & hence, the term, Fake News!” The afternoon briefing has been a staple of cable news schedules during the past few administrations and the sight of Sanders’ predecessor Sean Spicer at the podium was an enduring image of the early days of Trump’s tenure. The White House Correspondents Association called the decision a retreat from transparency and accountability that sets a terrible precedent.)

Federal civil service protections a) did NOT stop my Democrat GAO superiors from forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, giving me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, not promoting me beyond GS-13, getting rid of my mentor in 1987, keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forcing me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980; b) did NOT stop my Democrat IRS superiors from not promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions in 1978, getting rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowing my partial day per diem claims in 1974, and did NOT stop my Democrat Post Office superiors from forcing me resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/companies-manipulate-glassdoor-by-inflating-rankings-and-pressuring-employees-11548171977
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Last summer, employees of Guaranteed Rate Inc. posted a stream of negative reviews about the mortgage broker on Glassdoor, a company-ratings website. “An American sweatshop,” read a one-star review in June. “Worst company I ever worked for,” read another in July. The company’s rating on Glassdoor, which is determined by employee feedback, fell to 2.6 stars out of 5. Concerned that negative reviews could hurt recruiting, Guaranteed Rate CEO Victor Ciardelli instructed his team to enlist employees likely to post positive reviews, said a person familiar with his instructions. In September and October these employees flooded Glassdoor with hundreds of five-star ratings. The company rating now sits at 4.1. Glassdoor has become an important arbiter of employee sentiment in today’s highly competitive job market. A Wall Street Journal investigation shows it can be manipulated by employers trying to sway opinion in their favor.)

PITTSBURG POST GAZETTE
— Why ageism hurts men more than women – JULIA CARPENTER (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all 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.post-gazette.com/news/aging-edge/2019/01/22/Why-ageism-hurts-men-more-than-women/stories/201901220156
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Age bias can be subtle — a whispered comment, a snide dig, an errant thought. Or it can show up in more overt behaviors — a forgotten meeting invite, a blatant preference for a younger colleague or even hiring discrimination. But new research shows that age bias doesn’t affect men and women equally. In fact, older men face harsher penalties than older women. Battling stereotypes By 2022, 25 percent of the American workforce is estimated to be comprised of workers age 55 and older, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But claims of age-based discrimination are already on the rise, says Michael North, assistant professor of management and organizations at New York University. Comparing the number of age discrimination complaints filed to the EEOC in 1999 to the number of claims now shows that the problem isn’t going away. This tension in modern workplaces, Mr. North says, often involves younger employees viewing older employees as overly aggressive, or selfishly refusing to step down from the C-suite and leadership roles. The stereotypical version of this kind of older worker — who continues to work past retirement age, sowing discord among younger employees who covet the senior position — is usually male. Part of that stereotype stems from a dearth of older women in senior roles. “One thing we’re really seeing is a lot of dominant older men people think aren’t willing to step aside, and you see resource constraints with millennials trying to get jobs, and we’re thinking of male CEOs refusing to relinquish power — so I think the exemplars are men,” says Ashley Martin, an assistant professor of organizational behavior at Stanford Graduate School of Business. “So when people harbor this age bias, they’re thinking ‘These men need to get out of the way.’ And women are forgotten — which allows them to escape.”)

 

NEWS TRIBUNE
— Divided America: Traditional values now scorned – ROBERT HUMPHRIES, Puyallup
https://www.thenewstribune.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/article224939410.html
(FROM THE LETTER: We already have a wall, but it divides Americans rather than defending our border. Deja vu, it’s1860 all over again, and we know where that led after the flash points of Harpers Ferry and Fort Sumpter. Anyone who would declare that our nation was built on the foundations of Western European civilization is now considered a racist. That alone confirms there is a deep schism/high wall already established within our nation. On one side are those who desire to defend the culture, religion and traditions that created the greatest form of self-governance (even with all its flaws) mankind has ever devised. On the other side are those who fervently dig at its very foundation, guided by their “diverse” cultures (or worse, the failed ideology of Lenin, Stalin, Mao or Che). One can only ask: When and where will there be a defining flash point? Certainly the verbiage of many elected Democratic members of Congress loudly proclaim in “political correct” terms that they are pushing for one — in their active support of illegal aliens flooding across open borders, or in their attacks on the 2nd Amendment.)

— Pritzker vows ‘most progressive state’ on abortion — GOP sees ‘left wing’ agenda – Tina Sfondeles
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/pritzker-progressive-abortion-roe-v-wade-hb40-gop-left-wing/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The move prompted one Republican legislator to accuse Pritzker of running a “highly-politicized and left wing administration.” . . . Rauner’s decision to sign the bill angered the state’s conservatives and spawned a primary challenger in former state Rep. Jeanne Ives, who lost by just 4 percentage points. . .State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, has always opposed HB40. McSweeney said Pritzker has “rubbed HB40 in the face of conservatives by saying he’s actually going to expand it even more.” “My concern is he claims he wants to be bipartisan but he takes on highly inflammatory issues like taxpayer funding of abortions and expansion … and also the implied threat to opposition of the progressive tax,” McSweeney said. “I don’t see much bipartisanship. It looks like a highly politicized and left-wing administration to me.”)

HUFFINGTON POST
— Passenger Confronts GOP Congressman Rodney Davis Over Flying First Class During Shutdown “Do you think it’s appropriate?” he asked the lawmaker. “Taking that as a yes.” – Akbar Shahid Ahmed
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/rodney-davis-flying-first-class-ggovernment-shutdown_us_5c477fe1e4b083c46d634be8
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With President Donald Trump and the GOP prolonging the partial government shutdown, a Republican lawmaker had an uncomfortable run-in Tuesday when a fellow airplane passenger found him flying first class from Chicago to Washington, D.C., according to a video of the encounter shared with HuffPost. “Congressman, do you think it’s appropriate to fly first class while 57 TSA agents aren’t being paid?” the person says to Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), in an apparent reference to the Transportation Security Administration’s 57,000 employees, who are being required to work without pay. A tipster who asked to remain anonymous shared the video with HuffPost, which hasn’t been able to identify the person who approached Davis. Davis remained silent, prompting the person to say, “Taking that as a yes.” “Taxpayers paid for this flight? Fair enough,” he added. Members of Congress can have the government pay for regular flights to and from their home jurisdictions, as maintaining constituency contact is part of their job. Unlike the paychecks of TSA workers, as well as those of hundreds of thousands of other federal government workers affected by the shutdown, those paid flights do not go away during a government shutdown. Davis did not use his taxpayer-provided budget to purchase a first-class ticket and has never done so, his spokeswoman Ashley Phelps told HuffPost in an email. His office bought a regular coach ticket, but he was upgraded automatically because of his frequent flyer status, she added. “There was no additional cost to taxpayers.” Accepting the upgrade is not a violation of anti-corruption rules because it’s something available to any person who accrues a certain number of miles and wasn’t offered exclusively to Davis because of his position as an elected representative, an ethics officer in the House, who asked to speak on background since the episode is not under any official investigation, told HuffPost. All the same, for someone with power over people’s paychecks to enjoy a luxe experience amid mass economic disruption makes for a jarring sight. A photograph of Davis in the first class section of the plane made it into Politico’s Playbook PM newsletter on Tuesday. Most of the GOP has stood with President Donald Trump during the shutdown, arguing that he’s right to reject deals to reopen the government until he gets the funding he wants for his promised wall on the border with Mexico. Davis has frequently supported the party on the issue, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, and praised Trump’s approach. But the congressman recently sided with Democrats on bills to reopen some agencies ― a nod, perhaps, to his political vulnerability, given his tight re-election in the 2018 midterms.)

— The Left Won’t Allow a Peaceful Separation – Christopher Roach
https://amgreatness.com/2019/01/21/the-left-wont-allow-a-peaceful-separation/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The divergence of the desires and needs of the nation’s interior and those of the coastal ruling class has become more pronounced since the election of Trump. Even the “respectable” Democrats, exemplified by Hillary Clinton, have a barely concealed contempt for middle America. She, of course, infamously labeled Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables.” But Obama himself earlier let the mask slip, dismissing religion and guns as a false consciousness, to which the working class “clings bitterly” as transferred aggression from their economic and social decline. Perhaps this insulting language is so casual and automatic, because this is also how the Republican Party has treated its voters. Until Trump, the GOP saw itself as one wing of a responsible governing class. All the talk of shrinking the government and the culture war was just overheated rhetoric that no one in power seriously believed. The party’s leadership functioned to divert its voters discontent into an agenda more palatable to the ruling class. Thus, every campaign sounded like the second coming of Paul Revere, but in the end, the practical outcome was some work on the margins related to tax cuts. For issues like gay marriage, abortion, immigration, crime, and affirmative action, the Republican leadership mostly tried to avoid them altogether. After every electoral loss, the solution was to be less divisive and to focus on economic issues. This was the party leadership’s official recommendation following Mitt Romney’s loss in 2012, as if this milquetoast establishment hack’s defeat was the result of him being too conservative. The friction between the coasts and the interior is not merely political; it’s cultural, religious, economic, and demographic. The intensity of the friction has led, in recent times, to the suggestion we may be on the brink of a kind of civil war. We see hints of similar divisions in Europe, where Brexit and the Gilets Jaunes protests are fundamentally populist and have occasioned maniacal responses by the ruling class. Separation Would Be Preferable to the Current Hostilities  One solution proffered from time to time is a peaceful separation. Observers on the Right and the Left have suggested that the rift is simply too deep and serious to be resolved, and that the mutual interest of everyone concerned would benefit by a divorce, whether deemed secession or an invigoration of local autonomy or something else. . .The Left Is Totalitarian By Nature Leftism is not simply one opinion among many. For the Left’s votaries, it’s closer to a religion. It’s not enough that one is himself a vegan, drives a Prius, doesn’t own guns, rejects the traditional family, or anything else that goes with the lifestyle. It is essential that everyone else does so. Any deviations are “backwardness” and “divisive” or worse.)

Instead of $60,586/year, it is only $53,316/year, or $7,270/year less. SEE: http://www.opm.gov/retirement-services/csrs-information/computation/)
http://www.nprillinois.org/post/pension-buyout-participation-rate-higher-expected-early-numbers-show#stream/0
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Public employees hired before 2011–and who have worked for at least eight years–get an annual three percent boost when they collect their pensions. That adds to what the retirees bring in, but also the cost of Illinois’ pension debt. So, state lawmakers introduced the option as part of last year’s budget. State retirees can now choose to swap the three percent annual adjustment on their pensions for a lump sum payment–70 percent of what they would have gotten. They also get to keep their base pension and 1.5 percent adjustment each year. Tim Blair is the Executive Secretary for Illinois’ State Employees Retirement System. He says the deal isn’t a panacea.)

LISLE TOWNSHIP REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION
— The Lisle Township Republican Organization is outraged by recent comments made by our newly elected State Representative Anne Stava-Murray. Impugning the residents of Naperville who have worked tirelessly to make Naperville a great place to live for people of all races and religions is reprehensible. Rep. Anne Stava-Murray’s baseless attacks on Naperville highlight her lack of interest in serving her constituents. She has stated that she is already running for another office even before she begins her term in the General Assembly. If she is so disinterested in serving and holds her constituents in such disdain she should resign and let someone who wants to work for all the residents be the State Representative from the 81st District. On behalf of her constituents and all the residents of the City of Naperville, we demand an apology from Rep. Stava-Murray and call on her colleagues in the General Assembly to publicly
censure her extremist attacks. – Jay Fisher, Chairman, LTRO

SPRINGFIELD STATE JOURNAL REGISTER
— Springfield police set to start camera program with public – Crystal Thomas
https://www.sj-r.com/news/20190119/springfield-police-set-to-start-camera-program-with-public
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Springfield will soon join several Illinois cities that have a voluntary program in which residents can register their private cameras to help out police. Police Chief Kenny Winslow told the City Council this past week that the registration will be available through the Springfield Police Department’s website in February. Residents who own private exterior cameras would enter information, like their address and a way to contact them, into a portal on the website. That information would be uploaded into a spreadsheet, which would plot all of the registered private security cameras on a map. Police officers would have access to this information and would be able to contact camera owners afterward if a crime occurred nearby. “We can send an alert via email or have detectives just call,” Winslow said. Winslow said the camera owners would be able to send in the footage through evidence.com, which is an encrypted hosting site that the city already uses. Or, a police officer could review the footage with the homeowner. Winslow said police are more likely to apprehend a suspect if they get information quickly after a crime. Plus, Winslow said the camera network could act as a deterrent to crime happening in the first place. “It will hopefully lead to more investigatory leads on crimes, or hopefully a better apprehension rate or maybe even a reduction (in crime),” Winslow said. “We just have to figure it out how to better market it to have good participation.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: After I’d been writing a column for a few years, a male boss gave me a T-shirt depicting the Furies swooping. He didn’t mean it as a compliment. The three sisters, the “infernal goddesses” of ancient mythology born from the blood shed by Uranus when he was castrated by his son, were known for relentlessly hounding men. But the Furies took vengeance on wicked men who hurt women and swore false oaths. So I took it as a compliment. The capital has suddenly been infused with the spirit of the Furies. After many false springs and discouraging backlashes, we are finally experiencing a revolutionary assertion of women’s power that is transforming Congress. “Kill Bill”-style, the fiery Democratic women keep coming, driven by vengeance against the wicked man in the White House with the history of hurting women and swearing false oaths.)

GAINESVILLE TIMES
— How younger generations get their news and why that matters – Shannon Casas (DIERSEN: Facebook is a Democrat/Libertarian/Green/RINO website. Those who run Facebook want those who are religious, conservative, and/or Republican to lose. Nevertheless, ever-increasingly, and outrageously, religious, conservative, and Republican activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, etc. rely on Facebook to communicate. Ever-increasingly, they erroneously assume that if they post something on Facebook, everyone will see it. Ever-increasingly, they stop publishing websites, stop updating their websites, and stop sending out emails. That is exactly what Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs want them to do.)
https://www.gainesvilletimes.com/columnists/shannon-casas-how-younger-generations-get-their-news-and-why-matters/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A little more than 10 years ago, distributing news by way of Facebook, Snapchat or any other social media was unheard of; it’s one of the most transformational shifts in the way we consume news. And it’s a driving force in how vastly different news consumption habits are and will be for millennials and younger. Older generations seek out news, for example setting aside time to read the morning paper, while millennials’ are more likely to bump into a story on social media. They don’t necessarily spend less time reading news. Some 85 percent of them report that keeping up with news is at least somewhat important to them and 69 percent get news daily, according to the American Press Institute. But they consume that news throughout their day across multiple platforms — a click on a Facebook link here, viewing an Instagram post there, watching a video on YouTube their friend shared, and so forth. And the large majority of it is done on their cellphones. I’ll point out here that much of this column was tapped out on my phone. “News and information are woven into an often continuous but mindful way that Millennials connect to the world generally, which mixes news with social connection, problem solving, social action, and entertainment,” according to the American Press Institute research. This trend continues with the next generation, those born after 1995: “Media consumption for Gen Z’s is embedded in their daily lives so they are not even consciously making a decision to consume content,” according to a Forbes article.)

 

NORTHWEST ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT GAZETTE
— Age discrimination: a moral embarrassment – HELAINE OLEN (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Republicans, Whites, men, and non-veterans should be advised that they will be flushed down the toilet if they are not earning at least $100,000/year by age 25, $200,000/year by age 30, $300,000/year by age 35, $400,000/year by age 40, $500,000/year by age 45, $600,000/year by age 50, $700,000/year by age 55, $800,000/year by age 60, $900,000/year by age 65, and $1,000,000 year by age 70.)
https://www.nwaonline.com/news/2019/jan/20/age-discrimination-a-moral-embarassment/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When you dive into popular literature on retirement, you could be forgiven for thinking there are hordes of Americans in their late 50s or early 60s desperate to leave the paid workforce as soon as they can. Blog posts and academic studies beg people to hold off on collecting Social Security until the age of 70 so they can maximize their benefits. There is Bloomberg Businessweek’s article “Not prepared for retirement? Here’s a solution. Don’t retire.” And Inc.’s “Want to Retire Early? Here are 3 Reasons You Probably Shouldn’t.” Few listen. The most common age to file for Social Security is 62. Why? Well, many of these people are not downscaling their professional lives or exiting the workforce entirely because they want to do so. They are likely victims of age discrimination. That’s the searing conclusion that can be drawn from a recently released joint Urban Institute-ProPublica analysis of data from the Social Security Administration and National Institute on Aging’s joint longitudinal Health and Retirement Study. The researchers behind the report found a majority of workers over the age of 50 are likely at some point to be shoved out of their jobs, either via an overt firing or resignation under pressure of demotions, loss of future benefits or deteriorating work conditions. The damage to their bottom line is often permanent. When many find new positions, they are often jobs that are significantly below both their skill levels and previous pay grades, such as the former corporate executive ProPublica discovered working at a print shop, as a bartender, and staffing the front desk at a local gym. Making matters worse: The retirement prospects for many younger baby boomers and members of Generation X look dismal as the shift from workplace pensions to the do-it-yourself 401(k) has left millions of people without the resources to maintain even a semblance of their current lifestyle in retirement. As a result, surveys say a majority of Americans plan to work well past the traditional retirement age, with many claiming they will collect a paycheck till they drop.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— State Rep. Stava-Murray stands by comment that Naperville has ‘white supremacist policies’ – Erin Hegarty (DIERSEN: Politics is nasty. I should write a book about those in Wheaton and in Glen Ellyn who hint/imply/argue/shout that my hometown Crete was full of German Lutherans who were White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, and bigots while I lived there 1948-1972. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-stava-murray-white-supremacist-claims-st-0120-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: City officials reacted strongly to Stava-Murray’s claims about Naperville’s policies. “I don’t think that the city can be fairly characterized in that way. In fact, it’s very much the opposite,” Naperville Mayor Steve Chirico said. “It’s a very loving city and a very welcoming city.” Naperville City Councilman Kevin Coyne said the community celebrates diversity and welcomes people of all ethnicities. “Rep. Stava-Murray’s comments were reckless and unfounded,” Coyne said. “She should apologize to her constituents in Naperville who she has embarrassed with these disparaging and patently false comments.” Stava-Murray said Friday she is glad her comment, which was posted about two weeks ago, is getting attention. “I think this is a very necessary conversation people need to be having in Naperville and the Chicago area because we are still so segregated,” she said. “There are many schools in Naperville that have almost no black students in them and many schools where there is not a single black teacher teaching.” She also said Naperville makes no effort to educate residents on the city’s history as it relates race disparities and the city’s lack of a race-based bullying policy is “one of the areas where a lack of policy is a white supremacist policy.” Her preference for Oak Park is based on the fact that “they actually have a history of actively working to desegregate their area,” she said. “This reaction of caring more about appearance than reducing the negative impact on white active denial of white supremacy, that’s what made me want to move to Oak Park in the first place,” she said. Chirico said that while he understands some opinions can be based on experiences, he doesn’t see how a blanket statement regarding white supremacy could be applied to Naperville. “I certainly don’t think there’s any government policy that could even be interpreted that way,” Chirico said.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— U.N.C. Admissions Lawsuit Brings Another Attack on Affirmative Action – Anemona Hartocollis (DIERSEN: How bad are your demographics? UIC admitted me in 1966, NIU in 1969, Loyola in 1972, DePaul in 1976, and IIT in 1992, but I doubt that they would admit me today. My demographics are terrible in their eyes. I am a Trump supporter, Protestant (Baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (born in 1948), non-poor, gun owner, draft avoider, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, etc.)
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/18/us/unc-affirmative-action-lawsuit.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill weighs race so heavily in its admissions process that it is the predominant factor in determining whether many black and Hispanic students get in, according to court papers filed on Friday by an anti-affirmative action group that is also suing Harvard. The group, Students for Fair Admissions, says the university is excluding white and Asian applicants in favor of less qualified black and Hispanic students. The plaintiffs accuse U.N.C., a public flagship university, of using race “at every stage” of the admissions process, in violation of the law, “even when the application gives no indication that race affected the student’s life in any way.”)

— Stop Hiring: Self-Selection Is Better – Diane Bogino (DIERSEN: Potential federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran should be advised a) that they will be gotten rid of if they do not make GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40 and b) that extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescoachescouncil/2019/01/15/stop-hiring-self-selection-is-better/#a78b4a94a5e6
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Self-selection” is a relatively new phrase on the hiring scene. According to Personnel Today, “Self-selection is the process where a job seeker is given information about the negative aspects of a vacancy and employer as well as the good points, to better enable them to make an informed decision about whether to apply for a job.” Its transparency gives candidates the option upfront to withdraw themselves from being considered for a position, for whatever reason. However, self-selection has a longer history than one might imagine; and like every story, self-selection has two sides. The dark side of self-selection was in full bloom just a few decades ago. I’ve been on the planet long enough to remember help wanted ads that simply advised people of different races, nationalities or genders not to apply. None of those criteria determine anyone’s ability, talents, or attributes. Let’s not go back to the old days of discrimination — that’s never a good goal for your business, brand or candidates.)

DUPAGE POLICY JOURNAL
— Stava-Murray says Naperville has ‘white supremacist policies’ – W.J. Kennedy (DIERSEN: Who has charged you with benefitting from ‘white supremacist policies?’ My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that were it not for ‘white supremacist policies,’ I would never had been able to earn 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.)
https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/511723792-stava-murray-says-naperville-has-white-supremacist-policies
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just days into her new job as a state representative, Anne Stava-Murray (D-Naperville) has managed to cause a stir among her constituents by characterizing her hometown of Naperville as having “white supremacist policies.” Her remarks about Naperville came in a Facebook response to a post by Felicia Palumbo, who in early January wrote that “Naperville is the biggest bullies … horrible.” “I know and I am so sorry,” Stava-Murray replied on her “Anne Stava-Murray for U.S. Senate” Facebook page. “I actually wanted to move to Oak Park but stayed to work on my community. Our history of white supremacist policies is ongoing.” Stava-Murray did not respond to multiple requests from the DuPage Policy Journal seeking substantiation for her comments—any evidence that Naperville ever, or currently has, white supremacist policies. A white supremacist Naperville was news to Mayor Steve Chirico. “I would never characterize Naperville in this way,” Chirico told the Policy Journal, “but I realize that people have many different perceptions and views.” Twenty-three-year Naperville resident Richard Strawbridge said he couldn’t imagine where Stava-Murray’s comments were coming from. “I’m unaware of any so-called white supremacist policies,” Strawbridge, an attorney, said, “and I’m very active in the local community. “In fact,” he continued, “my impression is that the Naperville community as a whole tries to be very fair and inclusive. Are there individual idiots out there who buck this trend? I’m guessing there are. But to paint the entire community with this broad and defamatory characterization is unworthy of a public official in the absence of some actual evidence. These kinds of comments from any part of the political spectrum only serve to divide people and to impeded constructive dialogue.” Stava-Murray is expected to appear, with other members of the General Assembly, at a legislative forum hosted by the Naperville Area Homeowners Confederation on Saturday at the Naperville Municipal Center. “Every January, we invite our local state senators and representatives to share their views on what we can expect from Springfield in the upcoming year,” an announcement of the event on the Homeowners website said. “With representatives from both sides of the political aisle, and several new faces, this should be a great opportunity to get to better know those who hold our statewide future in their hands.” The 32-year-old freshman lawmaker also announced before even being sworn in as a House member representing the 81st District that she would challenge U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin for his seat in 2020. She supports the full range of progressive causes, according to her Senate campaign website. That includes Medicare-For-All, “actually affordable healthcare reform that doesn’t give away money to for-profit millionaires” and Wear Red for Ed, Families, “proper education funding that doesn’t result in mass striking for teachers to receive basic resources.” She also endorses “providing support for the LGBTQIA community as they have among the highest rates of being murdered by a member of the public.” In November, Stava-Murray defeated incumbent David Olsen (R-Downers Grove) in a close race. The 81st District includes parts of Bolingbrook, Darien, Downers Grove, Naperville and Woodridge.)

My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, gave me unfair performance expectations and appraisals, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, got rid of my mentor in 1987, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forced me to take a $19,203 (26%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors did not promote me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, got rid of my mentor in 1975, and disallowed my partial day per diem claims in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.)

— Just get another job? For federal workers, it’s not that simple – Annie Nova (DIERSEN: Since the beginning of time, government employees have been viciously demonized, viciously denigrated, and viciously condemned as being lazy, stupid, grossly overpaid, and even worse things. Many millions have not and will not seek a job with the federal government a) because the pay and benefits are terrible, b) because the advancement opportunities are terrible, c) because they lack required education, work experience, professional certifications, and/or professional licenses, d) because they cannot pass an employment examination, e) because they cannot pass a background investigation, f) because they cannot pass a physical examination, g) because they cannot take the demonization, denigration, and condemnation that comes with being a federal employee or federal retiree, and/or h) because they are Republican, White, male, older, and/or non-veteran and they know that the federal government discriminates against the aforesaid.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Citigroup disclosed that female employees globally earn 29% less than their male counterparts and that, among U.S. employees, people of color earn 7% less than whites, based on unadjusted figures. . .Leading male economists offered an unprecedented acknowledgment of sexual harassment and discrimination in the field at the American Economic Association’s annual meeting in Atlanta, as female economists spoke up about their #MeToo experiences and called for change. “Economics certainly has a problem,” Ben Bernanke, the former Federal Reserve chairman, who took over as AEA president this year, said during a panel discussion. The profession has “a reputation for hostility toward women and minorities,” he said.)

They painted what GAO Analysts do as being a unique “trade or occupation.” They would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. They viciously demonized, denigrated, and condemned the fact a) that I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 levels, currently $81,071-$91,880/year, b) that much of what IRS Revenue Officers do is similar to what GAO Analysts do, c) that I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, d) that I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and e) that I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. They were furious that I transferred with me almost 12 years of federal seniority, 30 days of unused vacation days, and 130 unused sick days.)

— ‘We’re not going to sit idly by’: Freshman Dems look to seize shutdown optics The new class of House lawmakers is finding creative ways to pressure the GOP into reopening the government. – MELANIE ZANONA
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/17/freshman-house-democrats-government-shutdown-1110462
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The freshmen’s moxie has caught some veteran lawmakers by surprise. “I was talking to a senator last night. He said he was here 16 years in the House and never stepped foot on the Senate side,” Underwood said. “We’ve been here for two weeks, and I’ve been over twice, searching all around for Sen. McConnell to say: ‘Sir, do your job.’” The campaign hasn’t been flawless. At one point during their journey to McConnell’s office, they realized they had run out of copies of their letter and asked for one back. McConnell’s office was nice enough to print them extra copies. The day before, the group of lawmakers hit a snag when some of their staffers forgot their ID badges and couldn’t get into the Senate after the news conference. But members involved in the strategy sessions said they are used to the more on-the-fly approach, and dismissed the notion that their effort was simply a publicity stunt.)
