— Are we over cars? Not so fast. – John Kelly

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Neither of my 20-something daughters owns a car, I explained. By the time I was their age, I’d owned three. A lot of today’s young people would rather grab an Uber or a Lyft ride than drive themselves. And if they do want to drive, they reserve a Zipcar. John said: “In urban areas, and if you’re young and in college, or just out of college and in your 20s, everything you said is true.” But get married, have a baby and move to the suburbs, he said, and “everything you said is false.”)

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Someone polling for an Ives challenge against Casten; Will she run? – Lynn Sweet
https://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/someone-polling-for-an-ives-challenge-against-casten-will-she-run/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Someone is paying for a poll to test how former state Sen. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, would do against freshman Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., who represents the swing suburban sixth congressional district. Ives, a conservative, almost defeated former Gov. Bruce Rauner and Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti in the March, 2018 GOP primary, with Rauner struggling to attract Republicans while also keeping a distance from President Donald Trump. In April, Sanguinetti announced a March, 2020 GOP primary bid in the sixth. If Ives jumped in the contest, Sanguinetti would have to decide if she will be pulled to the right and if she would run from, or with, Trump whose name will be at the top of the ballot. Polls show Trump very unpopular in Illinois. Ives, a West Point graduate, told the Chicago Sun-Times she is not closing any doors. Ives was asked, “Are you interested or thinking about running for Congress in the 6th district?” and she replied, “We’ve you know, this for me it’s always been a team decision. I don’t do anything without my team supporting it and we’ve not made a decision on any race at all.” Asked about the origins of the survey, she said, “You know, I don’t control that,” adding that she was one of the people getting a call from the polling firm. Casten, allied with House centrist Democrats, pulled an upset in 2018 when he beat now former Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill. The 6th Congressional District hugs the Chicago suburbs and includes parts of Cook, DuPage, Kane, McHenry and Lake counties.)

– How Congress can better protect whistleblowers from retaliation – Jessie Bur (DIERSEN: While I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, I blew the whistle on political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation.

https://www.federaltimes.com/federal-oversight/congress/2019/05/10/how-congress-can-better-protect-whistleblowers-from-retaliation/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal whistleblowers often go to members of Congress to report waste, fraud and abuse at their agencies. But that means congressional staff need to be on top of their game to make sure that they don’t expose those whistleblowers to negative repercussions, according to a May 7 Government Accountability Office report. “Federal whistleblowers — employees who report violations of law, agency mismanagement or ethical violations — help to safeguard the federal government against waste, fraud and abuse,” the report said. Whistleblowers can report to various entities, including the Congress. While these reports are a key source of information for federal oversight, whistleblowers can risk reprisal. Therefore, it is important to appropriately handle whistleblowers’ information and identity.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Mr. Clinton chimed in on Sunday, adding that the country had reverted back to “tribalism” similar to the Reconstruction era following the Civil War. “I’m a white Southerner, I come from what is now the president’s base — a small, rural town and all of that,” the former president said. “And it’s not exactly the same as the Civil War, but it’s sort of an updated strategy for what happened and the reaction to Reconstruction where we went back to divisive tribalism.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-illinois-recreational-marijuana-protest-20190506-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Opponents of legalizing recreational marijuana in Illinois on Monday rejected Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s argument that his proposal would promote social equity by providing potential benefits to communities that have been disproportionately affected by enforcement of lower-level drug crimes. “Minorities have said to me we don’t want this stuff in our neighborhood,” state Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, said at a news conference outside the Thompson Center in the Loop. “There’s other ways to generate revenue, not on the backs of our children and young adults.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-met-cheri-bustos-democrat-incumbents-lipinski-newman-20190506-story.html
— FROM THE ARTICLE: Bustos has faced criticism from more progressive elements of the party for opposition to primary challenges and for a DCCC policy that also prohibits political advisers, consultants or vendors from doing work with the organization if they work against incumbents. “I don’t want to spend one ounce of any resource on keeping Democrats in the seats that they already have. I want to make sure that we have resources to pick up seats,” said Bustos, who called the DCCC “an incumbent-friendly organization.”)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— No Partner, No Kids, No Problem (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and RINOs are nasty. They used/use against me the fact that I did not get married until was 29, that my wife has always had income, that we gave up trying to have children, that we did not adopt, and that we did not become foster parents.) 
https://hbr.org/podcast/2019/05/no-partner-no-kids-no-problem
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you aren’t married and don’t have kids, people at work might assume a lot of things: that you can stay late at the office, that you can’t possibly understand their stories about parenthood, that you just haven’t found the right partner (ugh). But those assumptions are often false. Single childless women have busy lives, close relationships with children like nieces or nephews — and many don’t want coupledom or motherhood. We talk to two women who’ve been researching and writing about being a single childless professional. The writer Shani Silver shares her experience with the career pros and cons, and then Tracy Dumas, a professor at Ohio State University, gives research-backed advice for responding to bias and unrealistic expectations.)

Will that result in the formation of a new political party that represents older White men who are Protestant and/or German American, that is, a political party that does not discriminate against those who are older, White, male, Protestant, or German-American?)

My critics/opponents should be asked who, if anyone, reads their emails.

FORBES
— How Living Longer Impacts Your Retirement – Gregory Ostrowski (DIERSEN: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 42% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2019/05/01/how-living-longer-impacts-your-retirement/#160ea2d560be
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Especially for those on fixed incomes, such as retirees, inflation can negatively impact your standard of living in retirement by diminishing the purchasing power of your income. One way to prepare for such a scenario that can also help you overcome the risk of outliving your savings is to build a buffer into your retirement income projections. For instance, if you believe that a retirement income of $6,000 per month will be enough to pay your expenses, plan to save enough to generate $7,000 a month. Or if you think $7,000 per month will be enough, aim for $8,000, etc.)

— The Average Social Security Recipient Today Only Gets This Much Income Hint: It’s really not enough to live comfortably on. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: My Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 42% of what my salary was in 1997 in today’s dollars.) 
https://www.fool.com/retirement/2019/05/02/the-average-social-security-recipient-today-only-g.aspx
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just as you need a roof over your head, a means of transportation, food, clothing, and healthcare during your working years, so too do you need all of these things in retirement. The same holds true for things like utilities, cable, communications (think your cellphone and internet service), and even leisure. Therefore, it’s silly to think that you’ll get by on 40% of your former earnings while maintaining a standard of living that’s similar to what you’re used to today. And even if you are willing to cut back on some expenses, to live on Social Security alone would likely require some drastic changes — changes you likely won’t be happy with.)

BRINKWIRE
— Microsoft employees question if diversity is important (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents who are Republican, White, male, and/or older. Not one of them has ever suffered any kind of a) political affiliation discrimination, b) reverse discrimination, or c) age discrimination. I would focus on my critics/opponents who are Republican, White, male, and older who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.) 
http://www.brinkwire.com/science/microsoft-employees-question-if-diversity-is-important/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Several Microsoft employees have been questioning whether diversity is important and slammed the tech giant for ‘discriminatory hiring’ against Asians and white men. The employees have been debating the company’s pro-diversity push on an internal online message board meant for communicating with Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella. Two posts that have been heavily argued were written by a female Microsoft program manager, Quartz reports. One of those posts questioned Microsoft’s push to hire more women and minorities, arguing that it discriminates against white and Asian men. It also criticizes the monetary incentives senior leadership are awarded if they hire female or minority employees. ‘Does Microsoft have any plans to end the current policy that financially incentivizes discriminatory hiring practices? To be clear, I am referring to the fact that senior leadership is awarded more money if they discriminate against Asians and white men,’ one post reads. ‘I have an ever-increasing file of white male Microsoft employees who have faced outright and overt discrimination because they had the misfortune of being born both white and male. This is unacceptable,’ she wrote in a follow up post on the thread.)

I should write a book about my Democrat superiors in the federal government who painted me as being an anti-Semite. They stressed that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran and that I am 100% German national origin. They had great success in forcing my Jewish superiors and my Jewish supervisors to take adverse actions against me.)

— Income can peak before you’re ready (and what that means for retirement) – LIZ WESTON (DIERSEN: If you are retired, when did your income peak? My income peaked in 1997 when I was 49 years old at $72,460/year, or at $127,654/year in today’s dollars.) 
https://www.dailyherald.com/business/20190505/income-can-peak-before-youre-ready-and-what-that-means-for-retirement
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Most retirement calculators are optimistic to a fault. They assume our incomes will rise throughout our working lives, or at least stay roughly the same. In reality, our incomes are likely to peak years — and sometimes decades — before we retire. Consider this: People’s biggest wage increases tend to happen in their 20s and 30s, with more modest increases in midlife followed by declines, according to a 2016 analysis of Social Security earnings records underwritten by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Most people’s incomes peak by age 45, the researchers found, although the top 20% of earners peaked in their 50s. More than half of those who enter their 50s with a stable job are laid off or otherwise forced out the door, and the vast majority don’t recover financially, according to analysis by ProPublica and the Urban Institute. These may be grim statistics, but if you’re tempted to put off saving for retirement, take heed. “When you’re 40 and things are going well, you think, ‘OK, I can see when things are going to get better and that’s when I can save for retirement,'” says Gary Burtless, an economist with the Brookings Institution who studies earnings patterns. “And those days just don’t come.” THE BIGGEST GAINS COME EARLY What’s true on average for a group of people may not be true for an individual, of course. Understanding these general patterns, though, could help people make better decisions about spending, saving and when to retire. Generally, the more education people have, the more money they make over their lifetime and the later their earnings peak, Burtless says. “For somebody with a position like professor at a university, it might be when they’re in the second half of their 50s, as opposed to the second half of their 30s, which it might be for your brother-in-law who failed to complete high school,” Burtless says. But the 50s tends to be a dangerous decade for workers, according to ProPublica, an independent nonprofit newsroom, and the Urban Institute, a nonprofit think tank that researches social and economic issues. The researchers found 56% of full-time, full-year workers ages 51 to 54 suffered an involuntary job loss after age 50 that had a substantial economic impact, either by reducing their earnings at least 50% or resulting in six months or more of unemployment. The median household income of these workers dropped 42%, and only one in 10 ever earned as much after they left their jobs as before. An additional 9% left their jobs involuntarily for personal reasons such as health. The analysis was based on data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, which tracks 20,000 people in the U.S. SAVE EARLY AND AVOID LIFESTYLE CREEP Job disruptions and declining earnings help explain why so many people in their 60s have so little saved, Burtless says.)

PEORIA JOURNAL STAR
— May 16 event aims to explain real estate tax bills – Chris Kaergard (DIERSEN: Realistically, do you believe that could you sell your home for what your assessor says it is worth? I do not. Recent sales near 915 Cove Court in Wheaton are at https://www.zillow.com/homes/comps/4447887_zpid/. What percent is your real estate tax bill of what your assessor says your home is worth? My real estate tax bill is $11,089 with a $362 senior exemption, or 2.23% of the $492,300 that my assessor says my home is worth. Of that $11,089 real estate tax bill, $7,484 is for Wheaton Warrenville School District 200, $1,430 is for the City of Wheaton, $1,144 is for the Wheaton Park District, $474 is for DuPage County governments, $355 is for the College of DuPage, $178 is for Milton Township, and $25 is for the Wheaton Mosquito Abatement District.)

DAILY CALLER
— POYNTER INSTITUTE SHELVES ENTIRE BLACKLIST OF ‘UNRELIABLE’ NEWS OUTLETS FOLLOWING BACKLASH – Mike Brest (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, www.gopillinois.com and GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are unreliable. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. Better yet, I should sue them.) 
https://dailycaller.com/2019/05/02/poynter-shelves-entire-unreliable-news-outlets-list-following-backlash/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Poynter Institute, a journalism nonprofit organization, has completely disabled a list of what they labeled as an extensive list of “unreliable” news websites on Thursday night after facing scrutiny in the days since its publication. A litany of conservative publications, including The Washington Free Beacon and The Washington Examiner, were lumped into the list of “unreliable” publications and it received nearly instantaneous condemnation from them. “Soon after we published, we received complaints from those on the list and readers who objected to the inclusion of certain sites, and the exclusion of others. We began an audit to test the accuracy and veracity of the list, and while we feel that many of the sites did have a track record of publishing unreliable information, our review found weaknesses in the methodology,” Poynter’s managing editor Barbara Allen said in a statement on their website. “We detected inconsistencies between the findings of the original databases that were the sources for the list and our own rendering of the final report.” She went on, “We are removing this unreliable sites list until we are able to provide our audience a more consistent and rigorous set of criteria.” Aside from the list of “unreliable” news outlets, the initial publication included an accompanying article that called for advertisers to use the list in an effort to “blacklist” these websites. That language was deleted from the story and an update went along with it. Baybars Orsek, the director of the International Fact-Checking Network, told the Washington Examiner that they would be “evaluating all removal requests on a case by case basis,” and adding that “the total number of complaints is less than 2% of the whole database.”)

https://www.oflaherty-law.com/learn-about-law/defamation-in-illinois
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In this article, we will explain defamation law in Illinois. In order to state a cause of action for defamation in Illinois, the plaintiff must allege the following elements: ‍The defendant made a false statement about the plaintiff; ‍Made with actual malice or negligence; ‍That was published to a third party; ‍That damaged the plaintiff. ‍There are two types of defamation in Illinois, defamation per se and defamation per quod. Defamation per se consists of certain types of statements that the law considers to be automatically damaging and for which damages need not be proven. A statement that does not qualify as defamation per se is classified as defamation per quod. In defamation per quod cases, the plaintiff must prove actual monetary damages. The following types of statements qualify as defamation per se: statements accusing the plaintiff of a crime; statements asserting that the plaintiff has a “loathsome” communicable disease; statements asserting that the plaintiff is unable to perform in his or her employment or lacks integrity in his or her employment; statements that harm the plaintiff in his or her profession; and ‍statements accusing the plaintiff of adultery or fornication. ‍The statute of limitations for defamation actions is 1 year. ‍In Illinois there is no distinction between libel (written defamation) and slander (oral defamation). Many types of statements are privileged, meaning that the speaker will not be held accountable for defamation even if the elements of defamation would otherwise have been met. Privilege usually depends on the context in which the statement is made, such as statements made in a court of law.)

From what I see, the more who voted against trump in the aforesaid jurisdictions, the more that you are at risk.
