CITIES 92.9
— Congress focuses on work requirements for federal welfare benefits with Illinois hearing – Kevin Bessler (COMMEMT: What did you do to avoid poverty? I focused on education, professional certifications, and a professional license. Even though virtually no one saw me as being “college material,” I nevertheless took college preparatory courses in high school, I got and ACT score of 24, graduated in the upper 20% of my class, earned a bachelor’s degree in business, earned an MBA, passed the CPA examination on my first attempt, earned a master’s degree in accounting, passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt, became a licensed CPA, earned four more professional certifications, and earned a master’s degree in finance. Given the extremely low opinion that my critics/opponents have of intelligence, ability, and judgment, one could argue that because I did the aforesaid, anyone could do the aforesaid.)
https://www.cities929.com/2024/04/09/congress-focuses-on-work-requirements-for-federal-benefits-with-illinois-hearing/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A Congressional hearing held in Chicago Tuesday explored ways to lift people out of poverty with employment being the main theme. The U.S. House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Work and Welfare held a field hearing Tuesday in Chicago to examine ways to help people get out of poverty through employment. The hearing was called the “Dignity of Work: Lifting Americans Out of Poverty.” “No amount of handouts or government assistance, no matter how well intentioned, can substitute for the intangible benefits and dignity that work brings to individuals and their families,” said Illinois U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood, R-Peoria, the chairman of the committee. Matt Paprocki, president of the Illinois Policy Institute, discussed strategies for reducing poverty that Congress could implement to uplift impoverished individuals, including instituting work requirements with welfare benefits. “Institute work requirements similar to the successful bipartisan reform that was passed in 1996 which lifted millions of people out of poverty,” said Paprocki. Paprocki said the federal government should end the benefits cliff because the system leaves people with impossible choices like providing for their family at a job or reducing work hours and receiving greater benefits from government assistance.)

MCHENRY COUNTY BLOG
— What woke Public Sector Bureaucrats Allow on Public Transit
https://mchenrycountyblog.com/2024/04/10/message-of-the-day-a-bus/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Pace bus seen in Naperville. Ives wrote the following to accompany the photo. I guess a White House Proclamation wasn’t enough visibility. This bus was seen in Naperville. PACE Suburban Bus is a public system serving suburban Chicago communities. It is heavily supported by taxpayers and less so fare-riders, so how they spend their money is important to everyone. It is unclear at this time if taxpayers paid for the very expensive wrapping on the bus or if they let the sexual identity-obsessed radicals pay for it as advertising. Either way, this messaging is selling sex and shouldn’t be allowed.)

— Feds join ranks of employers with generous IVF benefits – Michelle Andrews (COMMENT: Democrats and RINOs ever-increasingly use IVF to promote more hatred against Republicans. I should write a book about how my Democrat and RINO GAO superiors used IVF against me big time. They viciously demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being a DINK and as being a disgusting religious, conservative, Republican, and American hypocrite because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF and because we did not adopt or become foster parents. They viciously hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I lied about my and my wife’s efforts to have children. In my defense there were serious problems with my sperm and with my wife’s eggs. My Democrat GAO superiors knew that full-well. In my book, I would focus on my Democrat GAO superiors who had the most children, who complained the most about the cost of raising children, and/or who had adopted. I would focus on those whose spouses had little or no income.)

— The partisanship and ideology of American voters (COMMENT: From what I see, those who vote for Democrats increasingly want socialism/communism/dictatorship, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, abolition of the Second Amendment, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. Those who vote for Republicans want capitalism, traditional marriage and family, right to life, enforcement of immigration laws, conservative values, Second Amendment rights, and equal opportunity (no race of gender based preference giving).)

QUORA
— Do you think you are the cause of all your problems? (COMMENT: My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes blame me for all their problems, for all your problems, for all my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems.

I admit that I should have tried harder to get a better ACT score. I admit that I avoided the Vietnam War draft. I admit that I should have majored in accounting instead of management. I admit that I should have earned the master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance that I did much sooner. I admit that I should have tried harder to get better scores on the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations and passed those examinations much sooner. I admit that I should have qualified myself to be a licensed CPA much sooner. I admit that I spent too much money on new cars when I was 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, and 29. I admit that I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I admit that I became an active member in a class action lawsuit in 1988 when I was 40 years old that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I admit that I have always promoted conservative principles. I admit that I have always promoted the Republican Party platform. I admit that I have never tried to hide the fact a) that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran, b) that I am 100% German American, c) that my ancestors have been in America since 1844, d) that I lived in Crete 1948-1972, and e) that I have lived in Wheaton since 1978.
