— Should children have skin in the game for college? You bet – Steve Rosen  (DIERSEN: What percent of your college expenses came from money that you earned? For me, it was 100%, but my outstanding parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete a) while I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968, b) during weekends my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969. I paid for my college expenses and for new cars with money that I earned washing dishes 1964-1966; cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966; delivering mail 1966-1969; and working on an automobile assemble line and as a security guard in 1970. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that college expenses were much lower back then and that UIC and NIU are not Ivy League schools.)

DAILY CALLER
— Google And Facebook Co-Sponsoring Protest Of Pro-Life Women’s Health Care Clinic – Peter Hasson  (DIERSEN: What percent of Google and Facebook employees are anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders (except Bill Clinton), and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors?)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/11/google-and-facebook-co-sponsoring-protest-of-pro-life-womens-heath-care-clinic/
— Google Is Holding Women Back – Penny Nance  (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes reject the Rutan decision.  They want individuals, organizations, companies, governments, and countries a) to have the power to destroy those who do not pander to them, b) to have the power to destroy those who refuse to serve as their operatives or dupes, and c) to have the power to destroy those who do not give them money.)
http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/09/google-is-holding-women-back/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Google spent over $265 million in the past few years to try to fix their “diversity” problem and recruit more minorities, including women. The result? Absolutely no change in the percentage of women employed at the company. Something didn’t go well. Maybe it’s because the company has been systematically underpaying women. They are currently embroiled in a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Labor on this very issue and 60 women may take legal action for discrimination. This controversy aside, it is inexcusable (and illegal) that someone should be fired from their job because they stated their opinion and specifically disagreed with the arbiters of political correctness. This is viewpoint discrimination, and it was ruled as a violation of the First Amendment by the Supreme Court in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois in 1990.)

— Google Cancels Meeting on Diversity, Citing Safety Concerns for Employees  CEO had scheduled meeting after the firing of a Google engineer, which had set off a nationwide debate – Jack Nicas
https://www.wsj.com/articles/google-engineers-firing-fuels-debate-among-employees-1502395326
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Google canceled a companywide meeting about diversity just before it was set to begin Thursday, saying right-wing websites published the names of employees who had proposed questions, raising security concerns. Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai said in an email to employees that the company decided to cancel the highly anticipated meeting after employees expressed concerns “about their safety and worried they may be ‘outed’ publicly for asking a question in the Town Hall.”)
— Google Episode Sends a Message: Diversity Is a Tough Sell in Silicon Valley  Tech firms face broad skepticism about results of industry’s push to attract more women and minorities – Georgia Wells and Yoree Koh  (DIERSEN: Because most young women and most young minorities are Democrats, it is easier for the Democrats who run the federal government to hire, to retain, and to promote young women and young minorities. But then again, because federal employees and federal retirees are viciously hated, it is harder for the Democrats who run the federal government to hire, to retain, and to promote young women and young minorities.)

https://www.ft.com/content/ce016eae-7db6-11e7-ab01-a13271d1ee9c
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Having read the memo, a recurring subtext appears: Mr Damore felt stuck in his job, denied access to training and career development paths designed to increase diversity throughout the company. A perception formed in his mind, rightly or wrongly, that Google had overcompensated in its drive to address criticism over diversity. As he saw it, Google was now recruiting and grooming a subset of employees to bypass or even replace him, while excluding him from comparable investment and support. That he was a self-identified “conservative” in Silicon Valley did not help; his complaints were viewed as creating a hostile workplace environment.)

— Speaker Madigan calls legislators to work — on Governor’s Day – Tina Sfondeles
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/speaker-madigan-calls-legislators-to-work-on-governors-day/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But Illinois House Republican Leader Jim Durkin called the scheduling “no coincidence.”  “They just didn’t pick this date out of thin air. They know it’s Republican Day. I think the whole point is to create some type of controversy for the day. And this is old school. It comes out of the old playbook. We’ll deal with it,” Durkin said. Durkin said Republican House legislators typically attend a luncheon on Governor’s Day, with some taking on speaking roles. But he said he’ll be on the House floor. . .Rauner is expected to speak at a Governor’s Day breakfast, as well as attend State Fair events in the afternoon during a rally.)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/bluesky/originals/ct-james-damore-fired-googler-20170808-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But unlike government employees, who have some free speech protections, private employees in the U.S. have little legal recourse if companies choose to retaliate for things they say at work or at home. In fact, most non-union private sector employees can be fired for almost any reason — or no reason at all. “Any claim that [Damore] brings will have only a negligible chance at success,” said law professor Paul Secunda, who directs the labor and employment law program at Marquette University. What’s more, firing Damore may have kept Google on the right side of the law, if the company or its employees felt that the memo had created a work environment that was hostile to women. Adam Galinsky, chair of management at Columbia Business School, said companies may have a legitimate reason for firing someone for expressing views that disrupt the professional environment. “I think that the firing was the appropriate response here,” Galinsky said. “I think if they didn’t fire the employee it would have created a lot of internal unrest among the women who work at Google.” In his defense, Damore could claim under the Civil Rights Act that he was fired for being male or for speaking out against anti-male discrimination, but Google could counter that it actually fired him for the attitudes he expressed about women, which aren’t protected. “He would have to show that if a woman had made similar comments about women’s superiority for jobs, that woman in a similar situation would not have been terminated,” , said Shannon Farmer, a partner at Ballard Spahr who represents employers. “That’s probably a hard thing to prove.” On Monday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent a note to employees that said portions of Damore’s memo “violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.” He didn’t say if the company was taking action against the employee. A Google representative, asked about the dismissal, referred to Pichai’s memo.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Washington Blade reports that, “Sources familiar with the planning said it would encourage early retirement, usher out any enlisted personnel after their contract is up, and would fire trans officers up for promotion. Basically, said a source, ‘the administration wants to get rid of transgender service members as fast as they can.’”)

FED SMITH
— Can Feds Use ‘Retrograde Analysis’ to Pursue Retirement Success? – Randy Silvey  (DIERSEN: My $50,856/year Civil Service Retirement System pension is only 41% of the $122,991 that I earned in 1997 in today’s dollars. Because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, I have at least $72,135 less each year or $6,011 less each month or $1,387 less each week or $198 less each day to spend.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2017/08/06/can-feds-use-retrograde-analysis-pursue-retirement-success/
(DIERSEN HEADLINE: Retrograde Analysis is an approach that uses reversed methodology. Think of it as a new tool; it has the benefit of providing perspectives that most linear thinkers would normally not consider. RA is not new or even unique as a general concept. It is likely many have used it without giving it much thought, let alone a name. In our everyday lives, we have problems occur that require we take an opposite and sometimes uncomfortable point of view to resolve. That is the essence of RA.)

GAO hired me in 1980 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. IRS hired me in 1971 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. The Post Office hired me in 1966 because it could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, or veteran who would take the job. Because I have always been a Republican, were it not for federal civil service protections, a) the Post Office would NOT have hired me in 1966 or let me work there for almost 3 years, b) IRS would NOT have hired me in 1971 or let me work there for almost 9 years, c) IRS would NOT have promoted me in 1972, 1973, or 1974, d) GAO would NOT have hired me in 1980 or let me work there for almost 18 years, and e) GAO would NOT have promoted me in 1986.)

I commuted to classes at UIC from my parents’ home in Crete 1966-1968. I came home weekends during my first semester at NIU in 1969 to work at the Park Forest Post Office. I worked full-time at the Park Forest Post Office during the summer of 1969 like I had done the summers of 1967 and 1968.  My Democrat Post Office superiors succeeded in forcing me to resign at end of the summer of 1969. My father died suddenly in October 1969.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— HARDCOPY ARTICLE TITLE: Excess At the Top  The CEO Pay Machine – Philip Delves Broughton  (DIERSEN: Trump’s lousy $400,000 salary is only 3.25 times what my $122,991 GS-13 Step 10 pay is in today’s dollars.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-better-way-to-reward-ceos-1501542185
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In 1978 the average chief executive at a large company was paid 26 times more than the average worker. By 2014, depending on your method of calculation, he was paid 300 to 700 times more. It has become standard for a CEO to make more than $10 million a year, and a few make more than $100 million. These aren’t founders or major shareholders but hired guns, managers playing with house money. It is not like this everywhere. In the U.K., the fifth largest economy in the world, the pay ratio of CEO to average worker is 84 to 1. In Japan, the third largest, it’s 16 to 1.)

MONEY MAGAZINE
— Millennials want their dream home now – not in 20 years – Angus Raine  (DIERSEN: Where are you on the “property ladder?” My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been are filled with envy.  They are furious a) that I bought a new town home in University Park when I was 24 in 1972, that I bought a studio condo in downtown Chicago when I was 25, and that I bought a one bedroom condo in downtown Chicago when I was 27 and b) that my wife and I bought 1017 East Harrison in Wheaton when I was 29 and that we had 915 Cove Court built in Wheaton when I was 35.)
http://moneymag.com.au/millennials-dream-home/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: When I bought my first home in the late 1980s, I didn’t care that it was ramshackle, I just wanted to get my foot on the property ladder. Now you hardly ever hear the term ‘property ladder’, and millennials want their dream family home now – not in 20 years. But that’s how long it took me to progress through a series of houses until I bought my current family home. I’m calling for a cultural shift: we need to return to viewing property ownership as a long-term, gradual strategy. So, if you’re a first-home buyer, just how do you climb the property ladder? First, you might need to rethink your expectations of a first home. Buying in the best location you can afford is more important than getting the perfect home immediately. And while many people think that the next logical step is to buy a bigger house, you are better off moving to progressively better locations. That will build value faster than graduating to bigger homes in the same suburb and will take you to the next rung on your journey up the property ladder.)

http://www.dailyherald.com/news/20170731/state-cuts-2017-funds-for-voter-registration-integrity
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Local election authorities will lose more than $4.4 million in grant funds this year that pay for, among other things, purging ineligible names from voter registration rolls. But officials say they are used to the roller coaster nature of election funding. Amy Kelly, the assistant to the executive director of the Illinois State Board of Elections, notified county clerks of the bad news at the beginning of July. Six election bodies applied for at least $100,000 from what’s known as the IVRS Lump Sum Grant. In addition to voter registration integrity, the grant helps fund voter registration equipment and corresponding software licensing fees. The grant typically functions as a reimbursement for money already spent for such efforts. The money for 2017 became one of the many funding casualties in the state budget debate.)

My Democrat GAO superiors got rid of the GAO manager who hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and got me promoted to GS-13 in 1986 (currently $94,610).  My Democrat IRS superiors got rid of the IRS manage who promoted me in 1972, 1973, and 1974.)

MADISON
— Will You End Up Working During Retirement? Chances Are, Yes. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: I would be working if I had to replace some or all of the $72,135/year in today’s dollars that I have lost and will forever lose because my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. In today’s dollars, my GAO salary was $122,991/year, but my Civil Service Retirement System pension is only $50,856/year.)
