— It’s time for more equality in the legal field – ALICE SETRINI (COMMENT: In 1979, when I was 30 years old, I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt. In 1980, I completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. In 1981, a) I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and b) became a licensed CPA.)
https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/judicial/587536-a-higher-bar-its-time-for-more-equality-in-the-legal-field
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In fact, I would argue, it’s time to abolish the bar exam altogether. The typical path to practice law requires a person to be accepted to law school, graduate law school and pass the bar exam after an unlimited number of tries (in most states). For someone with ample wealth and resources, like Kardashian, multiple attempts to pass the bar are possible. However, each registration for the baby bar costs $624; the actual bar exam costs $670 per try. This is aside from the thousands of dollars spent on prep courses and tens, if not hundreds, of thousands to attend law school. A passing score on the bar is set to ensure that a significant percentage of test-takers fail. This does not ensure competency as much as it ensures that those with the most resources have the best chances of passing. In February of 2020, California saw a record low pass rate, with only 38 percent of first-time test takers passing, and just 26 percent overall. A better alternative to the bar exam or baby bar exam — one that looks to address systemic inequities and promotes competent attorneys — is diploma privilege. The concept of diploma privilege, or automatic licensure upon graduation from law school, is not new. Before the 1870s, people who wanted to practice law would serve as legal apprentices. Abraham Lincoln famously never went to law school, and is rightfully revered as one of our country’s greatest lawyers. The bar exam was so informal at the time, he once administered one from his bath. After the civil war, new law schools emerged, offering automatic admission as an incentive to attend. As historically black colleges and universities were established and law schools proliferated, opportunities for students of color to earn degrees increased; in response, the ABA rejected diploma privilege in favor of written examinations. However, these exams exclude minorities from passage, and do not test real lawyering capacity. At first this barrier to entry was by design. The ABA and the legal profession in general have a well-documented history of excluding women, African Americans, immigrants, and religious minorities.)

— Changing slaveholder school names is a chance to confront history. Ideally, CPS — and the city — would seize the moment as a chance for Chicagoans to delve deeply into the truth about our country’s ugly legacy of slavery and racism. – Editorial (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, to promote political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, otherwise known as Affirmative Action, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, BLM, CRT, 1619, and reparations, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are a Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you have benefitted from slavery. All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s. In their defense, they always lived in northeast Illinois. On my father’s side, my great great grandfather worked in a brick factory in Chicago 1844-1854 and then he homesteaded a farm in Crete. My great grandfather and my grandfather operated a hardware store in Crete. My father worked in the office of a nasty chemical plant in Chicago Heights. On my mother’s side, my great great grandfather was a sharecropper. My great grandfather and my grandfather operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border. My mother was raised on that farm.)

— How to Make Your Financial Life Happier in 2022. After two years in which many have been under pandemic stress and strain, consider making your money goals focus on happiness. – Anne Tergesen (COMMENT: What “really matters” to you? Obviously, putting together and sending out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletter each and every morning and each and every evening really matters to me.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-to-make-your-financial-life-happier-in-2022-11640399712
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Focus on yourself. Studies show that as income rises, so does happiness. But once earnings reach about $75,000, more money brings no significant improvements to happiness, according to a 2010 study. (The $75,000 in 2010 would be about $96,000 in today’s dollars. The income threshold is likely to be higher in expensive locations.) Part of the problem is that when income rises, we start to compare ourselves with new peers, said Sonja Lyubomirsky, a psychology professor who studies happiness at the University of California, Riverside. “We might delight in a new hatchback just a tiny bit less every time our neighbor drives by in his convertible,” she added. One way to boost happiness is to analyze what really matters to us—rather than to others. To prompt clients to clarify their goals and make sure their goals are really theirs, George Kinder, founder of the Kinder Institute of Life Planning, asks three questions: What would you do if you had all the time and money in the world? How would you live if you knew you had only five to 10 years left? And what would you most regret if you die tomorrow? “The third question is key,” says Mr. Kinder, 73 years old, whose answers have led him to spend more time in nature, with family and writing books. “It is fundamentally important not to compromise on something that, if unfulfilled, would leave you with a deep regret.” Save time and aggravation. Anything you can do to create more free time can lead to happiness,” said Dr. Lyubomirsky.)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/sheilacallaham/2021/12/26/signs-that-age-equity-is-gaining-workplace-relevance-at-last/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: While progress toward workplace age equity has been slow, this past year shows definite signs of improvement. As a result, there is an elevated awareness of workplace age bias and discrimination and the need for companies and organizations to address it. Earlier this year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) made it very clear: job postings conveying preference — for example, “recent graduate,” young,” “energetic,” are examples of a recruiting practice that may involve systemic age discrimination. The update provided transparency by explaining the use of administrative and litigation tools used to identify and pursue systemic discriminatory practices. In March, the World Health Organization (WHO) released its Global Report on Ageism and issued a call-to-action for all ages. In collaboration with the United Nations, the 200-page report defined a myriad of ways ageism manifests across the age spectrum. Promoting the report’s release, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus underscored how insidious and socially acceptable ageism is and how important it is for all countries to participate in actions to prevent it. At the same time, the Urban Institute released the results of a study showing how the unemployment rate for older workers was at the highest annual rate on record–more than double that of younger workers. Not only is it more challenging for older workers to find employment, the lack of opportunity often forces them to dip into retirement savings or take early social security, robbing them of future earnings.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: National Republicans are expecting a strong off-year election, thanks to Democratic President Joe Biden’s sagging poll numbers. But Illinois remains a solid blue state, where Democrats hold the governor’s office, both U.S. Senate seats, supermajorities in the state House and Senate and a majority on the Illinois Supreme Court. At the same time, Democrats drew a favorable (to them) congressional map, one they expect guarantees victory in 14 of the state’s 17 U.S. House districts. Plus, Democrats have unlimited funds, thanks to multibillionaire Pritzker’s use of his personal fortune to fund party activities and candidates. Facing formidable opposition, what’s the GOP to do? So far, it has four official candidates for governor — lawyer and former Illinois Senate member Paul Schimpf, businessmen Gary Rabine and Jesse Sullivan, and state Sen. Darren Bailey of Xenia. It has one candidate for secretary of state, state Rep. Dan Brady of Bloomington. Other than that, no credible candidate has stepped forward to seek the nominations for state treasurer, comptroller or attorney general. . .Some Republicans may yearn for an all-powerful kingmaker with a bundle of cash to spend on a slate of candidates. But the notion that Republican voters are waiting to hear from Griffin as to whom they’ll nominate is a stretch. Slate-making has a long history in the Democratic Party, particularly in Cook County. But former GOP state party Chairman Pat Brady said “the reality is that Republicans do not have a history as a slate-making party.” “We don’t slate” candidates, said Pat Brady, who is supporting Rabine for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. That, of course, does not mean that the GOP’s four gubernatorial candidates won’t seek Griffin’s backing. Bailey already has been quoted as to why Griffin should back him, and the others can be expected to do the same — either in public or private. Griffin’s endorsement will be worth a lot to the favored Republican, perhaps more in the general election than in the primary where four candidates will divide the vote.)

— Lifestyle Inflation Can Make You Broke (Even With a High Income) — How To Not Fall Into the Trap – Jami Farkas (COMMENT: My wife and I have always tried to live on just one of our incomes, granted, on whichever income was the highest. We have always kept close track of our income and expenses. We have always put the maximums into tax-deferred savings accounts. Living on just one of our incomes became much more difficult when my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. That cut my income by 59%/year. Living on just one of our incomes became impossible when my wife retired. Ever-increasingly, we are spending more than my Civil Service Retirement System pension and our Social Security, and ever-increasingly, we have to spend down our retirement savings.)
https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/financial-planning/lifestyle-inflation-can-make-you-broke-even-with-high-income-how-to-not-fall-into-trap/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Make a Budget. Now that you know exactly what you must spend each month, figure out how you’ll spend the leftover. That’s necessary to break the cycle of lifestyle inflation, said Jennifer Stein, a certified financial planner and director of client engagement at Priebe Wealth. “To escape this, look at the income you’re making, the bills you have, and what is left over,” Stein said. “Then determine how much you will save and make this your priority. Pay yourself first. After you’ve saved, you can use some of the extra disposable income for things you enjoy and can afford, whether it’s an extra vacation throughout the year or fancy date nights in the city.”)

— 7 Issues to Look Out for During a Home Inspection – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: If my wife and I were to list our home for sale, we would disclose to prospective buyers and to their home inspectors all our home’s defects and what was done to mitigate those defects including the following. The foundation’s footings cracked before the foundation walls were poured, so the builder put steel reinforcement in the walls and laid interior foundation drain tiles. Many lengthy cracks formed in the basement floor, so I sealed them. The home was built on the intersection of two subterranean drainage lines, so I properly connected those lines to the city storm sewer system. Those subterranean drainage lines create drainage easements, so I had those easements recorded. The subdivision lacks adequate storm water drainage, so I paid the builder $700 to directly connect all of the home’s seven downspouts to the city storm sewer system and I installed many storm water inlets and hundreds of feet of French drains.)

— Foreshadowing America at the precipice in 2022. If USAID did an assessment of America today, what might it foretell? – Ron MacCammon
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/dec/22/foreshadowing-america-at-the-precipice-in-2022/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Data collected on the U.S. using this lens shows a nation in turmoil. Some of the glaring indicators are the crumbling of cultural and civic institutions, a toxically divided populace, an economy vitiated by COVID-19 and a significant loss of international prestige. Across the spectrum, Americans are distrustful and disdainful and appear to coalesce around two camps: the aggrieved and the resilient. Data gleaned from the analysis shows America’s aggrieved is a cabal committed to radically transforming society into a liberal dystopia. They see America through a lens of oppression and victimhood, and if you disagree, you are an existential threat. This is no proletarian movement. They use identity politics, institutional racism and COVID-19 as cudgels to purposefully badger everyday Americans into compliance. They are oblivious to context and nuance and rarely consider second- or third-order consequences. The aggrieved control the universities and have increasingly pushed their indoctrination into secondary education. They exert considerable control over legacy and social media, corporate America, sports figures and celebrities. They understand the power of networks and astutely recognize them as more important than hierarchical bureaucracies. The assessment shows the resilient represent traditional societal and institutional norms. Things like freedom of speech, law and order, and our history … warts and all. They are not as organized, nor have they been as committed to defending their values in the public square. The resilient are repelled by the brazen hypocrisy of the aggrieved and have suffered years of gratuitous insults. They finally recognize tolerance has only emboldened the aggrieved.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Worse than discovering small imperfections in your home is realizing that major construction mistakes are causing actual harm. Construction defects like leaks, mold, sinking or cracking can be detrimental to your property and to your physical health. Perhaps these errors were easy to overlook on the day of inspection, but as time has passed you realize that the mistakes are more significant than you thought. Your biggest investment is also losing value. What are Home Construction Defects? Construction defects come in various forms and produce a variety of problems for homeowners. Every state has different laws and statutes of limitation regarding construction policy.)
