DAILY HERALD
— Consortium organizes to battle Pritzker’s graduated income tax plan – Jake Griffin (DIERSEN: When will conservative and Republican groups organize to battle Pritzker’s pot plan? From what I see, ever-increasingly, a) Libertarians exploit the Republican Party’s “big tent” philosophy, b) Libertarians falsely claim to be conservative and/or Republican, c) Libertarian plants gain leadership positions in the Republican Party, and d) those Libertarian plants use those leadership positions to get rid of conservatives and Republicans like me. I should write a book about past and present Libertarian plants who held/hold leadership positions in the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants, City of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois.)

https://www.dailyherald.com/discuss/20190420/editorial-a-foreboding-decline-in-the-united-states-press-freedom-ranking
(FROM THE EDITORIAL: Truth be told, press freedom in America ranks below that of almost every other country in the West. Reporters Without Borders, an international organization that promotes freedom of expression around the globe, released its 2019 World Press Freedom Index Thursday, and the results are troubling worldwide, disturbing in the U.S. Worldwide, “hatred of journalists has degenerated into violence, contributing to an increase in fear,” the organization said in a summary of the report. “The number of countries regarded as safe, where journalists can work in complete security, continues to decline while authoritarian regimes continue to tighten their grip on the media.”)

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/why-older-workers-are-ideal-employees-2019-04-15
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Ageism is apparent in the workforce and the hiring process. Legislators are combating age discrimination, including a recent proposal called the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act, and companies are under fire for certain hiring practices, such as targeting younger applicants through social media. Older workers are stereotyped as lacking a strong work ethic, counting down the days to retirement and a disinterest in learning new skills to stay competitive in the workforce, and they also struggle with negative comments about their age from colleagues or are overlooked for promotions.)DAILY BEAST

https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20190330/how-waves-of-immigrants-are-overwhelming-asylum-process
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illegally crossing the border is a criminal offense, but asylum is a matter for civil courts. And that is where change is most needed, says David Iglesias, a Wheaton College professor who prosecuted many criminal cases between 2001 and 2007 as U.S. attorney for the District of New Mexico. “The laws haven’t caught up,” says Iglesias, director of the Wheaton Center for Faith, Politics and Economics. Some people seeking asylum might not meet the legal requirements when it comes to race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group, but they still have a well-founded fear of persecution due to gangs or violence in their homeland, Iglesias said. Asylum is granted unevenly. Statistics from 2015 show that New York City immigration judges denied 16 percent of asylum requests, while judges in Atlanta denied 98 percent.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Burnout is caused by chronic stress, not stressors, the Nagoskis say in their book. It’s important to differentiate the two. Stressors are external: to-do lists, financial problems or anxiety about the future. Stress, on the other hand, “is the neurological and physiological shift that happens in your body when you encounter [stressors],” the Nagoskis write. To fix burnout, people need to address the stress itself. They must allow their body to complete its stress response cycle. Instead, people tend to focus on stressors. “They assume their stress will go away if they’re on top of things, if they’re accomplishing things and constantly checking things off their to-do list,” Emily Nagoski says.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Illinois Democrats Offer Relief From Deduction Cap, But Not Repeal Lawmakers who won GOP-held seats want to increase $10,000 cap on state and local tax deduction – Richard Rubin (DIERSEN: Trump should increase the $10,000 SALT cap to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/illinois-democrats-offer-relief-from-deduction-cap-but-not-repeal-11553805167
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republicans imposed the $10,000 cap as part of the 2017 tax law, which also cut tax rates, doubled the child tax credit and sharply narrowed the alternative minimum tax. Most taxpayers, even in high-tax states, received tax cuts, but the cap still proved unpopular with suburban voters. That provision contributed to GOP election losses in high-tax states such as New York, New Jersey, California and Illinois, where Mr. Casten defeated Rep. Peter Roskam, a chief author of the tax law.)

— Despite a good law, age discrimination is still common – JOE CARBONE (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.)
https://www.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-op-carbone-age-discrimination-0324-20190324-5abuapcslbbdhm5xxbr64weo3i-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Research from AARP indicates that nearly two out of three workers age 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job. While few doubt its existence, even skeptics acknowledge that it’s unlike the age discrimination of the past. This class of discrimination is subtle, seemingly invisible — but it has gone viral. There are scores of economists and political leaders who see it as the latest inevitable fallout from the Great Recession. To be fair, technology, for all its benefits, must share some blame. Search engines do the work for you, which sometimes produces hundreds of applicants, which totally overwhelms most human resources departments. Data make it painfully clear that the insidious practice of stereotyping based on age has become a cultural norm — and shamefully, it’s flourishing. When I turned 50, I was shocked to receive a greeting letter from AARP, realizing this marked a new stage in life. Now at age 50, individuals in the job market are subject to a value comparison with younger generations. A common first step in the applicant review process is to determine age without asking. Many times, an unsuspecting job applicant will list their graduation year, use a chronological resume or an email account format that becomes a giveaway for their age. Conventional wisdom in talent search is to go younger. Some employers, perhaps many, assume that millennials will have better tech skills and little to no interest in retirement or even health benefits. So, younger folks have the advantage. This is classic stereotyping, it’s unfair, it’s wrong and it will prove in short order to have been a strategic mistake.)

— Ocasio-Cortez blames uptick in death threats on ‘right-wing media,’ feels safest at home in Bronx (DIERSEN: Are you a Trump supporter? How safe do you feel? In theory, Trump supporters should feel safer in precincts, in municipalities, in townships/wards, in counties, and in states the more voted that Trump got than Clinton got in 2016. In my precinct, a) Trump got only 137 votes in the 2016 general election while Clinton got 211 and b) Trump got only 21 votes in the 2016 Republican primary while Kasich got 93. Further, another indicator is how strongly those who represent you in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in your state support Trump.)
