— DIERSEN HEADLINE: 700 side with those who have a “record of convictions
for a forcible felony or a felony drug conviction or the conviction for the
sale, manufacture or distribution of illegal drugs.” They argue that the
city housing code is “very highly discriminatory against African
Americans” and stress that “data that shows 69 percent of
African-Americans in Champaign are renters and that 66 percent of people sent
to prison in Champaign County are black” and “Countywide, the black
population is slightly over 13 percent, according to estimates from the U.S.

— I retired at 34 with $3 million – here are 5 downsides of early retirement –
Sam Dogen
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/06/24/early-retirement-5-downsides-no-one-tells-you/1553587001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: 1)
You may suffer from an identity crisis. One of the most common questions people
ask when they first meet each other is: “What do you do for a living?” When
you’ve spent at least a decade working in any job, you may find it incredibly
jolting to no longer be identified as the marketing expert, the investment
professional or the management consultant. It was only after I left my job that
I realized how obsessed I was with my profession. I often wondered: How is the
business doing without me? I was there for 11 years. Were they really able to
survive without my expertise? But after months of no emails or phone calls
begging for me to come back, I finally accepted the fact that I was no longer
needed. . . 3) People may treat you like a misfit. Maybe it’s because retiring
early is unconventional. Or maybe they’re secretly jealous you’re not grinding
away at a day job. Whatever the reason, people won’t always give you the same
amount of respect as they would to a working-class citizen. Eventually, I grew
tired of explaining why I retired early or that I wasn’t a trust fund kid. To
keep the discussion simple and regain a social identity, I’d simply say I was a
writer and tennis coach.)
