(FROM THE ARTICLE: To try at being non-partisan I also feel like Joe Biden’s optimism if he is elected is just as likely not credible in the difference he can make. In other words — for the foreseeable future we seem to be almost for sure living in a continued COVID world for some period between months and years. And just when I thought things were bleak enough, I read the World Health Organization’s assessment back in May of 2020 to which I cannot find a change of opinion published anywhere: “This virus may never go away!”)

— ‘The tyranny of merit’ is tearing America apart – Stan Grant (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes, I was able to do the following a) only because my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors were not poor and b) only because me, my parents, my grandparents, my great grandparents, and the rest of my ancestors benefitted from discrimination against minorities and against females: I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. In my defense, I was the first of my ancestors to earn a college degree notwithstanding the fact a) that neither of my outstanding parents attended college, b) that my father was the first of his ancestors to earn a high school diploma, c) that after fighting type 1 diabetes from age 14, he died suddenly of heart failure in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21, and d) that my mother never attended high school.)
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-10-18/us-tyranny-of-merit/12774726
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Regardless of who wins the US election, one thing is certain: it will be a victory for the meritocracy. The meritocracy are the elite, the richest, most privileged of Americans who have a stranglehold on power and wealth. Like the aristocracy of old they are distant from the rest of the population, often looking down on them, mocking them or exploiting them. Like the aristocrats they party together, live alongside each other in the same wealthy suburbs and attend the same weddings, even if they supposedly represent different sides of politics. Remember, Bill and Hillary Clinton were guests at the wedding of Donald and Melania Trump. The meritocracy has rigged the game to suit themselves, getting richer while the poor are getting poorer. Their children dominate entry to the best universities, a pathway to the richest careers ensuring this new royalty shores up its status for another generation. So entrenched and immovable is this elite that the Brookings Institution showed that, on current trends, “it would take six generations for family economic advantage to disappear”.)

— What the Coronavirus Means for the Future of Financial Planning It’s time to rethink what our financial goals can and should look like. – Christine Benz
https://www.morningstar.com/features/what-covid-means-for-the-future-of-financial-planning
(FROM THE ARTICLE: How Can You Accommodate Low Yields in a Financial Plan? Finally, retirees of all ages—early or otherwise—have a huge challenge today in the form of very low bond yields, the result of Federal Reserve activity designed to ignite an economy that would otherwise be struggling even more amid the pandemic-related slowdown. . .Moreover, the fact that safe securities yield so little today has contributed to the ascent of higher-risk assets, especially stocks. But even as retirees have gained on one side of the ledger as yields have declined, they’ve lost on the other. Not only do low yields reduce how much retirees can wring from their safe investments, but yields are also predictive of what bonds are apt to return over the next decade. The Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Index currently has an SEC yield of about 1.3%, suggesting that investors will barely break even assuming even modest levels of inflation.)

— Report Examines the City of Evanston’s Practices That Impacted the Black Community, 1900-1960 – Larry Gavin (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. National origin discrimination is nasty. Religious discrimination is nasty. If you are White and you seek a government office or a political office, expect that your critics/opponents will use your parents and use their parents against you. What is your home town? What is/was your parents’ home town and your grandparents’ hometown? Crete was my hometown. I lived there 1948-1972. Crete was my father’s hometown and his parents’ hometown. Grant Park was my mother’s hometown and her parent’s hometown. I should write a book about how my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used my parents, their parents, Crete, and Grant Park against me. They stress that both Crete and Grant Park were overwhelmingly German American and Missouri Synod Lutheran. They hint/imply/argue/shout that Crete and Grant Park were full of White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.)
