https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-ent-pandemic-board-game-20200305-ujujmxok3zeqnlkrn3c7mp75r4-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It was created by Matt Leacock, a former Chicago graphic designer who grew up partly in Wheaton and studied visual communication at Northern Illinois University. He’s unsure of the exact inspiration for Pandemic but notes he developed it between the SARS epidemic of 2003 and the H1N1 swine flu outbreak of 2009, with warnings about the spread of infectious diseases in the 21st century on his mind. Now 48, he lives with his family in Silicon Valley, and like everyone else, he’s intently following coronavirus news and contemplating the endgame. We spoke the other day about the legacy of his scarily prescient creation. The following has been edited and condensed for space and clarity.)
— Low expectations can be deadly for African American youth – NELL K. DUKE, ERNEST MORRELL AND MIMI RODMAN (DIERSEN: When I was in high school, I was not viewed as being “college material.” Neither of my outstanding parents attended college. My father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma. My mother never attended high school. I just barely made into the upper 20% of my class. My ACT score was only 24. I was 1-A for draft notwithstanding the fact that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, I had partial red/green color blindness, and I had Osgood-Schlatter disease ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osgood%E2%80%93Schlatter_disease). I spent my junior and senior years in high school and the summer in between washing dishes.)

By definition, blacklisters have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout. I should write a book about the blacklisters in my precinct, in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, and in DuPage County.

https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/485922-antonio-sabato-jr-backing-trump-got-me-blacklisted
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Antonio Sabàto Jr. says he’s working construction after being “blacklisted” by Hollywood for his support of President Trump. “All my representatives left me, from agents to managers to commercial agents. I literally had to move, find a new job to survive and take care of my kids,” the former Calvin Klein model said in an interview this week with Variety. “It’s been terrible. It’s mind-blowing. It’s a disgrace. It’s tough, because if you’re in that environment in Hollywood and you have something to say that they don’t like, they’re going to let you know,” Sabàto said. The 48-year-old former “Melrose Place” actor was one of a handful of entertainers to vocally support Trump’s 2016 White House bid, and spoke at that year’s Republican National Convention. “I was the first celebrity to come out and talk about the president, and he had my vote from day one,” Sabàto told the magazine. But after Trump won office, Sabàto says his job offers in the entertainment industry dried up, forcing him to pack up and move to Florida for construction work. “I go on the job at two in the morning, and I’m making sure that the job is controlled and supervised by me. I’m in the car all day, driving, going through all the sites. Five days a week, nonstop,” he explained. The one-time GOP House candidate — Sabàto lost a 2018 bid to unseat Rep. Julia Brownley (D-Calif.) — claims other pro-Trump performers are reluctant to publicly vocalize their support for the commander in chief. “I know a lot of actors who are lying about who they’re going to vote for because they don’t want the crap,” Sabàto said. “They won’t want to be talked about and fired from movie sets. This is serious.” “The reality is the power that makes movies happen in Hollywood — casting directors, producers, executive producers, directors — they’re all liberal,” said Sabàto, while also noting he’ll vote for Trump’s reelection in November. “They hate anyone or anything who supports this president.”)

— With silence from Milwaukee officials, rumors have grown about the Molson Coors shooting. Here’s what we know. – Ashley Luthern and Gina Barton
https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/crime/2020/03/03/milwaukee-molson-coors-shooting-facts-behind-racism-noose-rumors/4934728002/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Company addresses harassment allegations In Milwaukee, a city known for its racial disparities, discussion on social media and elsewhere has increasingly turned to the shooter’s possible motive, with several former workers describing a hostile, and at times racist, work environment. The shooter’s family has declined all interview requests to discuss his background and any possible racism he experienced at work. However, on Tuesday, the company acknowledged that five years ago, a noose was placed on or in his locker. “The employee was not working that day, our HR team notified him of the incident, it was investigated fully,” Adam Collins, chief communications and corporate affairs officer for Molson Coors, said in a statement. In addition, reports have surfaced that the shooter had ongoing tensions with at least one co-worker. Company officials are not aware of any formal complaints by the shooter to management or human resources about racist harassment, nor are they aware of the shooter filing any Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or state agency complaints related to race discrimination or harassment, according to information Molson Coors provided Tuesday. In an email to employees Tuesday, Molson Coors CEO Gavin Hattersley acknowledged the rumors and commentary on the company’s culture. “Our emotions are running high and that’s compounded by what we see and hear in the press and across social media,” he wrote, later adding: “And with few facts available, it’s easy to resort to speculating about the reasons behind the shootings.” “In the meantime, I want to be absolutely clear on one thing: We do not tolerate any kind of harassment whatsoever,” Hattersley wrote. “We have investigated, and we will investigate, every complaint of harassment, intolerance or misconduct that is raised. And we have taken, and we will take, appropriate action in response to complaints.”)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/for-growing-numbers-of-struggling-u-s-cities-the-downturn-has-arrived-11583248603
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Few municipalities are in a deeper hole for their size than Harvey, a city of 24,641 that was founded in 1891 by a lumber tycoon. Harvey, located about 17 miles south of downtown Chicago, grew into an industrial center, producing car mufflers, farm and mining equipment and military airplane parts. When Mr. Clark, the new mayor, was born a half-century ago, the population was nearly 35,000. Roughly 46% of employed men over 16 worked in manufacturing, according to the 1970 census. “Everybody had a nice fenced-off yard,” Mr. Clark recalled of his boyhood neighborhood. “There was either a Cadillac or a Lincoln in front.” The local Dixie Square Mall had more than 50 stores, including Woolworth and Montgomery Ward. Mr. Clark drove a forklift before getting a scholarship to law school. He opened his law practice 10 years ago in a former jewelry store downtown. Factories closed in the 1980s, taking jobs with them. By 1990, nearly 15% of men ages 25 to 54 were unemployed, according to the census. Dixie Square Mall was demolished in 2012 after closing years earlier.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE
— Civil Service Reform, Again – HOWARD RISHER (DIERSEN: Democrats run the federal government. They focus on hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. That means wasting the careers of and getting rid of federal employees who are Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who do not make GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40. Extremely few make the aforesaid promotion deadlines.)
https://www.govexec.com/management/2020/03/civil-service-reform-again/163480/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: he recently released report from the Republican Study Committee’s Government Efficiency, Accountability and Reform Task Force identified civil service reform as one of three pillars to produce “a more efficient, effective, and accountable government.” The report correctly observes that without the “right people” meaningful reform cannot be implemented. However, the basic changes needed to attract the necessary talent—hiring reform, pay reform and benefits reform—have been proposed repeatedly in reports going back decades. At this point, no one would argue that the civil service system serves the needs of government or the country. The system impedes badly needed change. But it’s very likely this latest report will be quickly forgotten, just like all such previous reports.)

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/feb/29/buttigieg-extremely-vulnerable-attack-touting-navy/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: This cycle, such an effort would be designed to chip away at the former mayor’s argument that his time in Afghanistan gives him unique intellectual and moral authority on U.S. foreign policy. Political observers and other veterans who served in Afghanistan interviewed by The Times suggest that beneath the surface, Mr. Buttigieg could be walking into a trap. “It’s a weak story,” said one national GOP political strategist who has worked on presidential campaigns. “If the entire foundation of your foreign policy experience is built around your time as a low-ranking officer staring at a green computer screen, you’re making yourself extremely vulnerable.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Instead of having too many newcomers, Mulvaney told the crowd that we have too few, according to an audio recording of his remarks obtained by the Post. “We are desperate – desperate – for more people,” Mulvaney said. “We are running out of people to fuel the economic growth that we’ve had in our nation over the last four years. We need more immigrants.” Oh? That’s certainly not what we’ve been hearing since Trump announced his candidacy five years ago. That’s when he infamously accused Mexico of “sending people” who are “bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people.” As president he has spent the past three years hardening this country’s immigration system into an obstacle course of physical and bureaucratic barriers. Most recently he added Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Sudan, Tanzania and Africa’s biggest country, Nigeria, to the travel ban. What’s going on? I wondered, is this another Mulvaney gaffe?)

Given the honor of commanding drivers to start their engines, Trump made a grand entrance before the start of the race. He gave thousands of fans a flyover of Air Force One and then rode onto the track in the presidential motorcade as the audience roared with delight. The motorcade took roughly a quarter lap before pulling aside in an infield staging area. The president’s visit was widely welcomed by NASCAR fans. Trump 2020 flags flooded the infield, and some fans wore them as capes in the garage area.)
