— How much the US minimum wage was actually worth the year you were born
(DIERSEN: I worked for the minimum wage 1964-1966. The $1.25/hour that I earned then is worth $10.64/hour in today’s dollars. I washed dishes in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights part-time during my junior and senior years at Crete-Monee High School and full-time during the summer in between. With the money that I earned and saved, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint (a poor man’s GTO) in May of 1966 to commute to classes at UIC in the fall from my parents’ home in Crete.)

— NOVEMBER 29, 2014 FLASHBACK: 12 Things That Make A Neighborhood Truly Great
(DIERSEN: Things that attract Democrats to my precinct include a) the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 Administration Building, a public grade school, and a public middle school being in the precinct, b) LGBTQ-promoting churches being just north and south of the precinct, and c) the west half of the precinct being represented by an LGBTQer on the Wheaton City Council.)

DAILY PRINCETONIAN
— Confronting Gerrymandering: The Power of Just Data – Collin Riggins
(DIERSEN: Only 157 in my precinct voted for Trump while 269 voted for Biden. LGBTQ-promoting churches are just north and just south of my precinct. My precinct’s polling place is the LGBTQ-promoting and BLM-promoting church just south of the precinct. About half the homes in my precinct are represented on Wheaton City Council by an LGBTQer whose wife is an LGBTQ activist. Ever-since the 2015 gerrymandering, my precinct contains the Wheaton Warrenville School District 200 Administration building, a public grade school, and a public middle school. My precinct has fewer middle-income voters, more lower-income voters, and more upper-income voters than many other precincts. My precinct has had more turn over (home sales teardowns) than many other precincts. From what I see, about 4 out 5 times when a home owned by Republicans is sold, it is bought by Democrats.)
https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2021/04/gerrymandering-data-census-redistricting-just-data
(FROM THE ARTICLE: For example, Kmetz outlined a problem in the electoral system that affects communities nationwide: there is currently not a centralized database for election results on the precinct level. As a result, the impact that smaller communities have in elections is obscured. Kmetz stated that this “makes it difficult to determine how changing district lines could impact elections.” So, rather than taking very zoomed-out election results as they are, the Lab started a project called OpenPrecincts. Working with local organizations to ensure their use of data is collaborative, transparent, and just, OpenPrecincts is a database that offers precinct-level election results for all 50 states. That way, context can be attributed to data, which can help explain disparities in voter turnout, the prevalence of gerrymandering, and other areas for structural change.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20210225/deborah-sajdak-2021-candidate-for-college-of-dupage-board
(FROM THE ARTICLE: After a lengthy professional career, I am in a position now where I can become more involved in the community. Since education has such a vital role in our society I would like to make some contribution to the success of our young people as they learn and grow. In my positions with Nordstrom I have acquired a broad variety of skills that include: procurement, conflict resolution, negotiation, organization and communication and I would enjoy being able to use these skills in a completely different environment. The only direct experience I have had in higher education has been as a student myself, but it seems to me that the COD board is a place where the skills that I developed over decades at Nordstrom, a large, well known retailer, could be exceptionally useful. At Nordstrom, in my positions as store manager as well as a buyer, I was able to cultivate a broad variety of competence in important management skills including procurement, conflict resolution, negotiation, organization, and communication. I would really enjoy putting those abilities to good use in a completely different, noncommercial environment. I believe that I would bring a fresh set of eyes to the table and would be able to give a different perspective to the issues that are currently faced.)

— Chicago starts to see immigrant tide from Mexico. Agencies say local arrivals are running at the highest level in years. – GREG HINZ
(DIERSEN: Democrats illegally encourage illegal immigration. To vote for Democrats is to illegally encourage illegal immigration. Those who illegally encourage illegal immigration should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.)
https://www.chicagobusiness.com/greg-hinz-politics/chicago-starts-see-immigrant-tide-mexico
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Agencies here that serve refugees and other immigrants seeking asylum say their caseload has soared in recent weeks and now is at the highest level it’s hit for several years. For instance, Heartland Human Care Services reports that as of this morning it was housing 240 children who crossed the border unaccompanied by adults. On Dec. 3 it housed none. “I have no doubt we’re going to hit capacity” of the 359 beds Chicago-based Heartland operates under a contract with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, said Executive Director David Sinski. “You’ve read about what’s happening. I’m sure they’re going to keep coming.” At this point, the wave appears likely to at least match surges in 2018 and 2014, Sinski says. Though the kids are young, “almost all” are teenagers from the Golden Triangle area of Central America, he says. “They’re seeking safety. They’re escaping violence that is unimaginable.” The young refugees are usually flown to Chicago by the federal government and temporarily housed here by Heartland before being given permanent homes. Another group that deals with family units, the Interfaith Committee for Detained Immigrants, says it now is meeting 30 to 50 people a week who show up on Greyhound buses straight from the border. The group expects the number to keep growing even though it’s at the highest level its seen in years. Colin McCormick, the agency’s program director for refugee assistance, says the surge began in late February as the Biden administration eased some rules and “gets a little bigger” every week. Many are stuck on Greyhound buses for at least two days before they arrive in Chicago, where they may have even longer journeys ahead, depending on their final destination.” As is the case with Heartland, “the vast bulk” of the arrivals are from Central America. But a few are from other countries, such as Haiti, entering the U.S. via Mexico. Though it may be controversial with some U.S. natives, to the immigrants, trying to enter here “is not a choice,” McCormick asserts. “They’re doing what they need to stay alive.” Most of those arriving here end up not staying in Chicago. Heartland says its clients, who are placed with sponsors, usually family members vetted by the agency, end up on the East and West coasts, not Chicago. All are tested for COVID when they arrive here, with some also tested on the border. Catholic Charities also runs a similar program for unaccompanied youngsters, with some finding their way here on their own or via other agencies. Metropolitan Chicago has a large Mexican-American population, with growing numbers of people from Guatemala, Honduras and other Central American countries. To some degree the influx is seasonal, tailing off in the cold winter months before building again when it’s warm. If that’s the case this year, the tide may have a ways to run before it peaks.)

FED SMITH
— Soaring Stock Market Means More TSP Millionaires. The rising stock market has rewarded TSP investors who have stayed invested for the long term. – Ian Smith
(DIERSEN: The TSP was established in 1987. I contributed the maximum amount to the TSP until my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. My Civil Service Retirement System pension is dramatically reduced because a) my Democrat GAO superiors forced me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, did not promote me beyond GS-13, delayed my promotions to GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, and forced me to take a $20,361 (21%) 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. My Democrat Post Office forced me resign in 1969.)
https://www.fedsmith.com/2021/04/01/soaring-stock-market-means-more-tsp-millionaires/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: As the stock market continues to climb to new record levels, it is helping federal employees with their retirement savings as well. The number of federal employee millionaires investing in the Thrift Savings Plan has hit a new high. According to the latest data from the TSP, as of the end of the first quarter 2021, there are now 84,808 TSP investors with a balance of $1 million or more. The highest account balance is now pushing $10 million; the lucky current or former federal employee with this designation has a total TSP account balance of $9,318,238. The number of millionaires in the TSP has increased 12.4% since the end of 2020.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Research shows that when stress becomes long-term, it can negatively affect every system in the body. Over time, chronic stress can become debilitating. It can also increase the risk of serious health complications, such as obesity, depression, and heart disease. Many symptoms of stress are easy to ignore or mistake for symptoms of other common conditions. The symptoms of chronic stress include: headaches, digestive problems, skin problems, pain, lack of energy, focus, and interest in previously enjoyed activities, being irritable, easy to anger, and forgetful, eating too much or too little, misuse of alcohol or drugs, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, fearful, or out of control, feeling depressed, insomnia, heart palpitations)

WASHINGTON POST
— Inside a stealth ‘persuasion machine’ promising Republican victories in 2022 – Isaac Stanley-Becker
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/republicans-midterms-digital-influence/2021/04/03/391103a8-8c0e-11eb-a730-1b4ed9656258_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The American Culture Project is set up as a social welfare organization exempt from disclosing its donors or paying federal income taxes but, in exchange, barred from making politics its primary focus. The project is led by an Illinois-based conservative activist, John Tillman, who also oversees a libertarian think tank and a news foundation that recently received grant money to highlight opposition to public health restrictions. Tillman, who declined to be interviewed for this story, wrote in an email that the American Culture Project’s objectives are “issue education and advocacy (not electioneering).” “We focus on reaching millions of Americans who can no longer rely on traditional media to become fully informed on a diversity of views on the issues of the day,” he wrote. “By reaching millions of Americans with a broader, more wide ranging set of issues and ideas, we think that voters will make decisions that will elect people, whether Democrat or Republican, that believe in America’s founding principles, and particularly the Bill of Rights.” While data collection and digital ad targeting have become commonplace in political campaigns, what’s unusual about the American Culture Project, experts said, is how it presents its aims as news dissemination and community building. It touts transparency and civic engagement using an online network whose donors remain private — part of a bid to shape public opinion as local news outlets crater and social networks replace traditional forums for political deliberation. The arrangement “puts the lie to the public presentation of these nonprofits as public welfare organizations that might happen to do a little politics,” said Noah Bookbinder, president of the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “It shows the system is being abused in ways we knew were happening but you usually don’t see quite so blatantly.”)

FORTUNE
— JULY 16, 2020 FLASHBACK: Are you willing to pay for news? The future of journalism may depend on it – JENNIFER HOEWE and BRETT SHERRICK
https://fortune.com/2020/07/16/american-journalism-crisis-save-news-media/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The following strategies should help news consumers make these decisions: Think about where you get your news. Are you selecting information just because it agrees with you? Don’t do that. Pick news sources that do more than simply cater to a partisan audience. Make sure you’re differentiating between news and commentary. Good news organizations should clearly demarcate what is news and what is opinion content. Check the news organizations’ use of sources. Are the sources they use in their news stories credible and considered experts in their field? Keep in mind: Experts are often people other than politicians. Look for journalistic standards. A good news organization should have a code of ethics or clear reporting guidelines posted on its website. If you spot a piece of information on social media or a news aggregator, first make sure the information originated with a legitimate news organization (using the other steps listed here). Then visit the site of the news organization that created the original content to ensure it will earn ad revenue for that content. Read full articles, not just headlines (or Facebook posts or tweets). In-depth reporting provides more context, which is part of why it’s worth paying for.)

THE DRIVE
— Everyone who’s window-shopped car auction sites has seen their share of classics with glistening paints and low miles, but no apparent reason for having been treated like unicorns. Take as an example the 1972 Chevrolet Corvette C3 on Bring A Trailer right now—it’s nothing all that special as Corvettes go, but it was preserved like a C2 L88, covering just 3,286 miles in 45 years. Who does this, and why? Who makes what many would consider a landmark car purchase only to drive it fewer miles each year than they walk on their two feet? – JAMES GILBOY
(DIERSEN: I took delivery of my 1972 Corvette on October 14, 1971; it has 5,143 miles on it today.)

— Are Classic Chevrolet Corvettes Prices Already Past Their Peak? The Answer Is Complicated. Rather than break a Corvette auction record at Mecum in March, a rare C2 L88 fizzled. Has Boomer nostalgia reached its limit? – JAMES GILBOY
https://www.thedrive.com/news/39924/are-classic-chevrolet-corvettes-prices-already-past-their-peak-the-answer-is-complicated

(FROM THE ARTICLE: So, are we past peak C2? If you define that as the maximum of what one can be worth, then the answer would appear to be probably. The generation for whom the C2 is probably most evocative, Baby Boomers, are slowly getting too old to drive these symbols of their childhood. But while they account for the biggest percentage of C2 owners insured by Hagerty, at 40 percent, they are actually outnumbered by Gen X and Millennial policy-holders, who own 48 percent of the C2s Hagerty insures. Not all of midcentury America’s icons have stood the test of time, but as demonstrated by younger generations taking up the C2 ownership mantle (and at slowly increasing cost), this Corvette has.)

His efforts and speeches pushing back against a Democrat controlled federal government will be embraced. . .And Lee is likely saying, “Come on in. The more the merrier.” A large field of moderate candidates will split the centrist vote in a multi-candidate primary and allow Lee to waltz to victory with his strong conservative base. . .If the Biden administration continues its leftward lurch and pushes bigger government, more regulation and higher taxes, Utah voters may want to send a conservative to go to battle in Washington, not someone who wants to get along with everyone.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger is at war with Trumpism, but GOP ‘tribes’ are heavily against him – ERIC ZORN
(DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. I am a member of the Republican Party’s platform tribe.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/eric-zorn/ct-column-kinzinger-trump-republican-tribes-poll-fabrizio-zorn-20210402-ttjzojzj3rgivi7rxxc4upf4em-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The bad news for Kinzinger is that a recent national survey of more than 1,200 Republican voters found that only 15% fall into the “Never Trump” category. The survey, conducted by Fabrizio, Lee and Associates, a Republican polling firm, and released in March, sorted the GOP into five “tribes,” four of which are populated by Trump fans. The “Diehard Trumpers” tribe makes up 27% of the party, the survey found. Members of this group said they “believe Trump should still lead the party,” will definitely support him if he runs for president in 2024 and consider themselves more Trump supporters than Republicans. The “Infowars GOP” tribe — the crackpot caucus — makes up 10% of the party and its members believe “several conspiracy theories pushed by QAnon” as part of their near unanimous support of Trump. The “Trump Boosters” tribe makes up 28% of the party, according to the poll findings. These Republicans give the ex-president “very strong job approval ratings” and show a preference for Trump in a theoretical primary ballot. The “Post-Trump GOP” tribe, 20% of the party, has a “strong, positive opinion” of Trump, but members say they think it’s time for him to step back. Yet only 5% of that tribe expressed support for the theoretical 2024 candidacy of Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, the most Kinzingeresque of the potential Republican presidential hopefuls. Overall, 88% of respondents had a favorable opinion of Trump’s presidency and 57% said they’d definitely vote for him if he runs again. And while, yes, Anthony Fabrizio worked as a pollster for Trump in 2016 and 2020, FiveThirtyEight’s pollster rating gives his firm decent marks and says its results skew slightly Democratic. Further, the overall image emerging from the Fabrizio Lee poll of the GOP as a party in cultish thrall to Trump is born out by news story after news story of moderate Republican officeholders under threat or heading for the exits. Kinzinger hasn’t announced his political plans yet and did not return my request for comment. But if he runs for reelection in 2022 the “fight and battle” he envisions looks to be far tougher than just “difficult.”)

CONSERVATIVE HQ
— What’s Jesus coming back for? – George Rasley
https://www.conservativehq.org/post/what-s-jesus-coming-back-for
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Back in 2014, Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty clan and a committed Evangelical Christian preached an Easter sermon about sin at Whites Ferry Road Church in his hometown of West Monroe, LA. The substance of the sermon, based on a verse from Corinthians defining “sinners,” eventually got him pushed out of his TV show and generally deplatformed. “Neither the sexually immoral, nor the idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves, nor greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God,” preached Mr. Robertson. The New York Post reported that during the time Mr. Robertson was preaching the “Duck Dynasty” patriarch got tremendous rounds of applause and cheers. Does anyone reading this believe the cheers and applause were because the audience was free of sin, or that no one in attendance had checked any of the boxes on the list Paul gave us in his letter to the church at Corinth? If you do, we have a bridge in Brooklyn and a couple of New Age books to sell you, cheap.)

— DISGUSTING, TRAGIC: Loyola Academy in Wilmette asks students how they ‘wield’ white privilege in assignment – Jonathan Garber
(DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, Democrat teachers crank out “good little Democrats” who are full of hatred against those who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Protestant, Italian American, German American, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.fox6now.com/news/chicago-area-prep-school-asks-students-how-they-wield-white-privilege-in-assignment
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Loyola Academy, which boasts high-profile alums such as comedian Bill Murray and actor Chris O’Donnell, has 2,094 students in grades 9 through 12 and costs $17,750 per year. About 80% of students are White, 6% Asian, 5% Black and 5% Hispanic. Loyola’s website says the school is committed to building a “welcoming, accepting school culture and climate in which all members feel a genuine sense of belonging.” However, another student, who asked to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, noted that ethics and sociology classes at the school are “very left-leaning” and that one exam being administered this week teaches kids there are 72 different genders. A second student speaking on the condition of anonymity told Fox News that it’s “shamed upon to be a conservative.” Some students, including Brennan, recently tried to start a chapter of Turning Point USA, an organization that advocates conservative narratives on school campuses, but were told by student activities group leaders Melissa Krein and Noah Hartman that they were not allowed to do so because the group is “anti-Semitic and racist.” The students were told, before a meeting to discuss the club had even begun, that there was a zero percent chance the chapter would be allowed on campus. A Zoom meeting held after the students were denied the ability to start a Turning Point chapter alerted parents to the “overlying problem” with what the kids were being taught, Brennan said. Since then, the students started a petition that has received over 170 signatures voicing support for a Turning Point chapter on Loyola’s campus. Loyola Academy needs conservative voices like Turning Point USA more than ever before, and it’s exactly why they are fighting to keep us out,” said Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA. Kirk is a frequent guest on Fox News and FOX Business. In the end, the students just want to go to a school where everyone’s voice can be heard. Loyola Academy is trying to make itself a more inclusive place, but “while doing so they have failed to include conservative voices,” Brennan said. The school has been “transformed into a social justice powerhouse,” said the first student speaking anonymously. “That’s not what school is. It’s supposed to educate, inform and give kids the opportunity to form their own opinions and critically think on their own.”)

— Lyons Township HS Conservative Group Meets Without District OK The student chapter of Turning Point USA has met on Zoom since December while an online petition has surfaced to keep it from gaining status. – Jeff Arnold
(DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents want me to get an OK from the following to send out GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters: Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. My critics/opponents stress how the aforesaid have treated me and treated my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters since 2000.)
https://patch.com/illinois/chicago/lyons-township-conservative-group-meets-without-district-backing
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In order for the group to be an official club by district standards, several things must occur, Bialobok wrote. The person proposing the club or activity must answer all questions in the Proposal Questionnaire — such as, a description of the club, a description of the lessons, experiences or benefits of the club, and where, when and how often the club will meet, etc. The person proposing the club or activity must also submit the New Club/Activity Petition, which should include at least 25 signatures from current LTHS students who would agree to join the club or activity should it be approved. The Stipend Committee, which meets four times per year, must decide whether to recommend the proposal to the Board of Education’s Human Resource Committee, to return the proposal with suggestions, or to reject the proposal. According to Bialobok, the Stipend Committee meets four times a year and would need to approve a club for a one-year pilot program. For the club to achieve full club status (which includes a stipend for the sponsor), the Stipend Committee, the district’s central office, the board of education’s human resources committee, and full board must approve. Meanwhile, a petition posted on Change.org entitled, “Keep hateful organizations out of Lyons Township High School” recently appeared online. As of Tuesday, the petition only had 12 signatures after being started by a poster with a username of “Concerned student.” The petition takes exception to the organization’s approach to “friendly relations” with far-right organizations, which the organizer of the petition does not want to gain traction at the high school level, the person wrote.)

BOSTON HERALD
— Web site ( https://www.45office.com/ ) boosts Trump link with supporters – Editorial
(DIERSEN: What do you say hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters who paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican?)
https://www.bostonherald.com/2021/03/31/editorial-web-site-boosts-trump-link-with-supporters/
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: When they’re not excoriating him, Democrats have been doing their level best to pave over the accomplishments of former President Donald Trump. To hear them tell it, Dr. Anthony Fauci spearheaded the ramped-up vaccine operation, and President Joe Biden should be credited with its rollout. Dems take particular glee in Trump’s ban from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. If they think this has dimmed his fire, they are much mistaken. Trump and wife Melania launched a website, 45office.com, offering a way for supporters to reach out to the pair. “The official website of the 45th President of the United States will allow individuals to submit correspondence, scheduling requests, and press inquiries for President and Mrs. Trump,” they announced. “President and Mrs. Trump are continually strengthened by the enduring spirit of the American people, and they look forward to staying in touch.” The site will no doubt rouse the ire of Dems — and disdain of late night hosts — who rarely miss a chance to sneer at the former president, while ignoring the appeal he holds for 74 million Americans. As the left wing continues to gain power on Capitol Hill and progressive legislation passes with little regard for those with opposing views, you can bet Trump’s supporters will be reaching out and speaking up. A website may not have the immediacy of a Twitter blast, but it’s still a valuable platform if one were to, say, back conservative candidates for midterm elections. Trump still has juice, and supporters. And Democrats will ignore both of these at their political peril.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pre-pandemic, suburban school board contests were often no-drama affairs, in some cases, failing to attract enough candidates to fill open seats. But this election arrives in the wake of a tumultuous 2020 campaign season that was punctuated by parents protesting for reopened schools, marathon school board meetings and even lawsuits, including one filed this month against school board members in Naperville- and Aurora-based Indian Prairie School District 204 by a group of parents who allege a coordinated “cover-up of COVID-19 planning.”)

USA TODAY
— Don’t blame the tests: Getting rid of standardized testing means punishing poor students. Eliminating meritocratic opportunities for students to excel will cause colleges to rely on the ‘soft’ parts of a résumé, which will benefit the rich. – Sean-Michael Pigeon
(DIERSEN: When you were in high school, were you viewed as being “college material?” I was not. 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. During my junior and senior years and the summer in between, I washed dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights. Nevertheless, I took college-preparatory courses, gat into the upper 20% of my class, and got a 24 on the ACT. What tests have you passed? The tests that I have passed include a) the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 when I was 30 years old, b) the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997, d) all the tests necessary to earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, e) all the tests necessary to earn an MBA from Loyola in 1976, f) all the tests necessary to earn a bachelor’s degree in management from NIU in 1970, g) the Federal Service Entrance Examination in 1970, and h) the Post Office employment examination in 1966.)

— General Motors Top In Manufacturer Loyalty For Sixth Consecutive Year. – SAM MCEACHERN
https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/03/general-motors-top-in-manufacturer-loyalty-for-sixth-consecutive-year/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: It’s worth pointing out GM has the highest manufacturer loyalty and not brand loyalty. That means that an owner of a new GM product (ie. Chevy, Buick, GMC, Cadillac) is more likely to buy another vehicle from one of its four retail brands. This study found Ford had the highest amount of brand loyalty, which was likely largely driven by the loyal buying habits of Ford F-Series customers. “Ford’s leadership in pickups contributed to its industry leading loyalty level of 63 percent, with F-Series accounting for 39 percent of the brand’s make loyal volume in 2020,” IHS Markit said.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The media show photos of young migrant children. Don’t fall for that. Three-quarters of these unaccompanied minors are young men ages 15 to 17. Think tattoos, not teddy bears. These teens are carrying the name and phone number of a relative in the U.S. who will sponsor them. A few weeks after surrendering to border officials, they’ll board buses to Los Angeles, Houston or New York City — the three most frequent destinations — or elsewhere in the U.S. where their sponsor lives. It’s the beginning of a hard road. The law requires them to go to school. But they’ve endured trauma on their trek and missed months or years of schooling. Few speak English, and many don’t know Spanish, only Mayan. Their education will cost thousands of dollars a year more than for the average student because they’ll need linguistic experts, tutors, psychological counseling, vaccinations and other support. They also consume most of a classroom teacher’s attention, leaving the rest of the class to make do with less. Even so, only 66% of students without English skills ever graduate. They will struggle, but so will our own kids. This migration wave is hitting schools just as they’re reopening after the pandemic. Students have missed an entire year of school activities. For school districts with tight budgets, the added costs of educating these young newcomers will mean an end to art classes, band and orchestra, and other enrichment activities.)
