BLOOMBERG
— How WealthScore Assesses Your Financial Health. Methodology details how scores are calculated from user inputs. Bloomberg’s online WealthScore tool allows users in the US to get a financial health checkup by answering questions about their age, household size, income, spending, debts and assets. – Phil Kuntz (DIERSEN: When I was 29 years old, in its 4-page article in its February 1978 issue, Money Magazine put my net worth at $53,950 ($245,715 in today’s dollars). Of course, needless-to-say, my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates used that to demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as being undeservedly filthy rich.)

MARKET WATCH
— Planning to work longer? How to stay in the job you love. – Jessica Hall (COMMENT: My Democrat GAO superiors forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old. They hinted that they might let me work another 6 years until I would be eligible for regular retirement if I would happily agree to be demoted and to be transferred to another work group. Since 1989, I had been working in their group that audited federal financial industry regulators. Earlier that year, I had earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT. The year before that, I had become a Certified Financial Services Auditor.)

HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW
— People Can Learn to Recognize Their Racial Privilege – Anyi Ma, Sean Fath, and Ashleigh Shelby Rosette (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, according to Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs, if you are a successful White, male, older person, heterosexual, married, homeowner, conservative, Republican, Protestant, German American, and/or if you ancestors have been in America for a long time, it is because you have benefitted tremendously from discrimination against those who are minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, renters, moderate, liberal, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time.)

OHIO CAPITAL JOURNAL
— 100 million people in America are saddled with health care debt – NOAM N. LEVEY (COMMENT: What has helped you avoid health care debt? For me, it has included my working for the federal government for almost 30 years 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 and becoming a federal retiree in 1997. The federal government pays 72% of health care insurance premiums for its employees and retirees and their spouses. Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always been furious about that. I should write a book about those who are the most furious. I would focus on a) those who hate past, present, and future federal employees, retirees, and their spouses and b) those who look down on, if not despise, if not hate wage earners. I was a wage earner 1964-1997.)

— Two wings of the GOP confront their political futures in Tuesday’s primaries – ZACH MONTELLARO (COMMENT: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. I have always been in the platform wing of the Republican Party. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives, and all their dupes reject at least one plank in the Republican Party platform. The more planks that they reject, the harder that they work against me.)

— Cheney braces for defeat as Trump tested in Wyoming, Alaska primaries – AP (COMMENT: In 2004, I braced for defeat when I ran for the open Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) Treasurer position. The former MTRO Chairman that I ran against got 69 votes and I got only 13. I should write a book about that. I would focus on the negative campaigning against me. I was blamed for Jim Ryan’s defeat to Blagojevich in 2002. SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Illinois_gubernatorial_election I had been the MTRO webmaster since 2000, but I was rudely dumped in 2004. I had been the webmaster for the Milton Township government and a member of its Cemetery Authority 2001-2003, but I was rudely dumped in 2003.)
