CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN NAPERVILLE SUN WITH COLOR PICTURE: Customers at
Naperville restaurant say their group was asked to move because another
customer ‘doesn’t want black people sitting near him’ – SUZANNE BAKER (DIERSEN:
Of course, Trump-haters want everyone to assume that this “regular
customer” is a Trump supporter, Protestant, conservative, patriotic,
Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owner, German American,
draft avoider, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

— Dear millennials, now is the time to invest in your unexpected future –
JERRY DAVICH (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and
their dupes who saved far less for their retirement than I did, I was able to
do save more for my retirement because I avoided the draft, the federal
government grossly overpaid me, I had good health, I paid less federal income
tax by itemizing, my wife had a good job, we gave up trying to have children,
we did not adopt, we did not become foster parents, I did not give lots of
money to churches like they did, etc.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: One
hundred dollars a month. This was how much money my financial adviser told me to
save, back when I was in my 20s and 30s. “Damn it, Jerry, if you do this you’ll
have a retirement nest egg waiting for you 30 years from now,” George Wilson
told me sternly. He was one of my father’s poker buddies who once sold me a
life insurance policy. He was intimidating and outspoken. He also was 100%
right. Wilson tried slipping me a proverbial ace in the hole for my losing hand
of cards in life. I was too stupid and shortsighted to accept it. After a few
years of scraping together $100 each month to pay into this seemingly mythical
retirement fund, I stopped contributing. I eventually cashed it in to pay off
some credit card bills, telling myself that I couldn’t afford it any longer. It
was the cheapest rationalization I could afford back then. At that point in my
life, I was earning a meager income in a family food business, I had two young
children, and I was already thinking of cashing in my marriage. Putting away
$100 a month, every month for 30-plus years, seemed impossible. My wiser self
in the future has never forgiven my stupid self from the past. In my younger
days, I likely spent $100 a month on “must have” purchases – my Coca-Cola
addiction, drive-through junk food, weekend entertainment in Chicago, a massive
collection of music cassettes and CDs, you name it. These unnecessary
expenditures, in hindsight, have only compounded my anger toward myself. I try
to keep this in mind when I now hear about millennials who believe retirement
savings is a myth or a rumor they’ve been told by gray-haired geezers like me.
What do we know, right? In my 20s, I thought the same thing about “old man
Wilson,” who was only in his 40s at the time. He seemed to be in his 70s or
80s. (He’s still around. Please don’t tell him.) Youth has a way of distorting
our perception of life. We had more answers than questions. We had more time
than money. We had more reasons to not think about getting older, getting
unhealthy, or getting prepared for retirement. It all seemed so… impossible, or
at least improbable. As if it would never happen.)
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
— Chicago teachers can save 244 unused sick days, retire early under new
contract The tentative agreement raises the cap on accrued sick days from 40 to
244; some longtime teachers could use those days to retire a year early and
still collect their full pension. – Matthew Hendrickson (DIERSEN: Almost all of
my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates in the federal
government took many more sick days than I did. Starting in 1966, when I was 18
years old, they made it very clear that they did NOT want me to take any sick
days. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I should NOT get that benefit for
many reasons including I avoided the draft, had good health, was non-poor, had
more education, professional certifications and/or licenses than they did, was
Republican, was conservative, was Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed
as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), was 100% German American, my wife had a good
job, we gave up trying to have children, we did not adopt, we did not become
foster parents, and/or my ancestors have been in America since 1844.
Nevertheless, they are furious that my Civil Service Retirement System pension
is higher because of my many used sick days.)
