— NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has wide-ranging powers to fine or suspend New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft – AP (DIERSEN: Chairmen of organizations have wide-ranging powers to punish the members of their organizations. I should write a book about how the chairmen of organizations that I have been a member of have punished me. They do not want me to use GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails a) to promote the traditional family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and in the Republican Party platform or b) to promote the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling. They punish me because they cannot manipulate me or dominate me. They punish me to curry favor with those who I have sued and with those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout.)

— No one wants to hear ‘You’re fired.’ Is there a better way to dismiss a worrisome worker? – Lauren Zumbach (DIERSEN: To be forced to take early retirement is to be fired. To get me to take GAO’s early retirement “offer” in 1997 when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO supervisor made lots of nasty vicious threats, but she did stress that if I did retire, a) I would have an inflation-adjusted Civil Service Retirement System pension for life (that pension is currently $53,316/year) and b) my wife and I would have federally-subsidized health insurance for life (that subsidy is currently $18,000/yr.)

— Income inequality is rising so fast that economic data can’t keep up – Christopher Ingraham
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/national/ct-biz-income-inequality-economics-20190221-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Nevertheless, the available data paints a clear picture of broadening disparities between top earners and everyone else. Adjusted for inflation, wages for the top 5 percent of earners rose from $50.46 an hour in 2000 to $63.10 in 2018, an increase of 25 percent. The median worker’s hourly wage, meanwhile, rose by 7 percent over that period, to $18.80. The divide was particularly stark among men: The wages of the top 5 percent of male workers rose by 42 percent from 2000 to 2018, while those of the median male worker rose by 0.8 percent. One way to capture that dispersion is to look at the ratio between wages at the top and wages at the middle. In 2000, for instance, the top 5 percent of workers earned 2.87 times as much, per hour, as the typical, or median, worker. By 2018, that ratio had increase to 3.36. Among men only, the ratio between the top 5 percent and the median increased from 2.83 to 3.98. However, there was little change in wage variation at the bottom of the distribution: The median worker earned roughly twice as much as the bottom 10 percent of workers in 2000 and 2018, among all workers and among men only.)

— Women May Have to Register for the Draft as Men’s Group Wins Selective Service Lawsuit – TYLER O’NEIL (DIERSEN: Were you draft bait? I was draft bait 1966-1971. Employers are extremely reluctant to hire, to retain, or to promote those who are draft bait. I graduated from NIU in August of 1970. During 1970 and 1971, potential employers did not believe that my application for a financial hardship draft deferment to help support my mother and brother would be approved. Consequently, in August of 1970, I took the only job that was offered me, a job that did not really require a college degree.)
