— Auto insurance rates are rising sharply in Illinois, as drivers hit the road and repair costs skyrocket – ROBERT CHANNICK
https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-auto-insurance-rates-rising-illinois-20220308-mnfo7e7h4bdydfpu3rfja7hvee-story.html
— COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are a conservative old White male Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more that you have benefited from their discrimination against minorities and against women. How soon, if not already, will Democrats demand that conservative old White male Republicans disclose when their ancestors immigrated to America, where they immigrated from, where they lived, what they did, etc.? All my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s from what is now Germany. They always lived in northeast Illinois. On my father’s side, they worked in a brick factory in Chicago, homesteaded a farm in southeast Crete, and then operated Crete’s only hardware store. On my mother’s side, they were share-croppers and then bought and operated a farm in Grant Park along the Indiana border.

If I had not been taking graduate accounting courses at DePaul 1976-1980, I might not have passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, GAO might not have hired me in 1980, I might not have passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, I might not have become a licensed CPA in 1981, and GAO might not have promoted me in 1986. If I had not been taking graduate finance courses 1992-1997, my Democrat GAO superiors might have succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer” sooner than they did.)
