How badly have Pritzker and Illinois Democrat legislators jerrymandered your congressional district? I should write about their 3rd Congressional District.

— Co-living buildings offer ‘attainable luxury’ for Chicago’s young professionals. Back in the good old days, that is, back when I was 25 in 1974, when IRS promoted me to a $99,069/year in today’s dollars job in the Loop, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East Building and I walked to work and to graduate business courses at Loyola. In 1976, when my salary was $105,675/year in today’s dollars, I traded that studio condo in to the building’s developer for a one bedroom condo and I walked to graduate accounting courses at DePaul. I had bought a new town home in University Park in 1972. I lived in it full-time 1972-1974, part-time 1974-1976, and then I rented it out until I sold it in 1984.

— Smithsonian denies White House pressure to remove President Donald Trump impeachment references. I filed Diersen v. GAO in 1998 (SEE: https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) knowing full-well that my chance getting a settlement, let alone winning, was bleak. Everything was stacked against me. But I filed anyway to get my facts and my arguments on the record.

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

WCIA
— BLS commissioner reacts to Trump firing. GAO works for Congress. I should write about how my Republican U.S. Senators and my Republican U.S. Representatives reacted to my Democrat GAO superiors a) forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997, b) delaying my promotions and never promoting me beyond GS-13, c) always ranking me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, d) keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and e) forcing me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980.

— Time for conservatives to kick antisemites out. Many, if not most of my Democrat Chicago office GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were antisemites. They were furious when I volunteered to work for the office’s leading Jewish GS-15 (currently $163,749-$195,200/year) manager. She put them to shame. She had an MBA from the University of Chicago. She had passed the CPA examination on her first attempt. She was attractive. She was young. She was wealthy. She was demanding. She wanted all her employees to have a graduate degree in finance. I got her appointed to the IIT board of directors for its master’s degree program in financial markets and trading that I completed in 1997. Nevertheless, she played a big role in forcing me to retire when I was 49 in 1997.

And it is a broken immigration system which both parties have failed to fix” . . . “look to the undocumented and find qualities they share in common” . . . “So many of the undocumented have for decades been connected to us” . . . “They are here not by invasion, but by invitation — an invitation to harvest the fruits of the earth that feed our families; an invitation to clean our tables, homes and hotel rooms; an invitation to landscape our lawns; and yes, even an invitation to care for our children and elders.” . . . “Looking for connections instead of differences, people can respond to this moment and thus reclaim our calling to live as authentic persons in the image of divine persons.”)

— Ram admitted it screwed up by killing a legacy American-made engine known for its raw power — and is revved up to bring it back after facing major backlash. The automaker had discontinued the beloved HEMI V-8 engine from its 2025 Ram trucks as part of a “woke” pivot by the since-ousted CEO of parent company Stellantis Carlos Tavares. But new Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis, who came out of retirement last year, offered up a mea culpa over the decision to pull the plug on the engine that powered the top-selling truck for decades. My 2013 Dodge Charger R/T Max has a HEMI.

— Chicago minimum wage set to increase July 1. Did you ever work for the minimum wage? I did 1964-1966 washing dishes in Chicago Heights while I was a junior and a senior at Crete-Monee High School. With the money that I earned, I bought a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint, a poor man’s GTO, in May of 1966, and I used it to get to/from my parents’ home in Crete and summer jobs and then classes at UIC and my part-time Park Forest Post Office job. When you were in high school, did your classmates work part-time during the school year and/or full-time during the summers in between like I did? Few of my high school classmates did. There were few good jobs available. I worked far too many hours washing dishes instead of studying. Nevertheless, I took college preparatory classes, I got an ACT score of 24, I got into the upper 20% of my class, and UIC accepted me.
