Pritzker, who pumped more than $171 million of his own wealth into his campaign to defeat Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner in November, now will use his own money to bolster his top government aides’ salaries, his transition team reported Friday. Pritzker’s incoming chief of staff Anne Caprara will be paid a salary of $298,000 — $148,000 in state money and $150,000 more from East Jackson Street LLC, an organization Pritzker set up to “enable the governor-elect to per- sonally compensate some staff in addition to their government sala- ry,” a spokeswoman said in a statement. Rauner’s chief, by comparison, made $180,000 in 2018, according CHRIS SWEDA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE to state records. Michael Montagano selects noodles to buy with his Illinois Link card at SZ Food Mart in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood on Friday. The Pritzker camp announced the unusual arrangement days before he is inaugurated on Mon- day. On top of the new LLC, lawmakers this week approved legislation that would allow the incoming governor to pay new Retailers bracing for agency heads 15 percent more.

  • Who Are the Rich, White Men Institutionalizing Transgender
    Exceedingly rich, white men (and women) who invest in biomedical companies are funding myriad transgender organizations whose agenda will make them gobs of money. As an environmental activist who was deplatformed from a speaking venue by transactivists, in 2013 I developed curiosity about the power of this group to force this development. A year later, when Time magazine announced a transgender tipping point on its cover, I had already begun to examine the money behind the transgender project. I have watched as all-women’s safe spaces, universities, and sports opened their doors to any man who chose to identify as a woman. Whereas men who identify as transwomen are at the forefront of this project, women who identify as transmen seem silent and invisible. I was astonished that such a huge cultural change as the opening of sex- protected spaces was happening at such a meteoric pace and without consideration for women and girls’ safety, deliberation, or public debate. Concurrent with these rapid changes, I witnessed an overhaul in the English language with new pronouns and a near-tyrannical assault on those who did not use them. Laws mandating new speech were passed. Laws overriding biological sex with the amorphous concept of gender identity are being instituted now. People who speak openly about these changes can *ind themselves, their families, and their livelihoods threatened. These elements, along with media saturation of the issue, had me wondering, Is this really a civil rights issue for a tiny part of the population with body dysphoria, or is there a bigger agenda with moneyed interests that we are not seeing- This article can only begin to gra e the surface of this .uestion, but considering transgenderism has basically exploded in the middle of capitalism, which is notorious for subsuming social justice movements, there is value in beginning this examination.

This Memorial will be a critical piece of the Pritzker Archives and Memorial Park Center currently under development in Somers, Wisconsin. In ways both small and large, The Cold War shaped our country’s history. Between 1945 and 1991, the U.S. and the Soviet Union were locked in a titanic battle of competing visions for organizing their societies and the world. The two superpowers were not technically at war with each other. Still, the war for ideological dominance spurred a nuclear arms build-up, a space race, economic and industrial competition, and a string of proxy wars that drew Americans into battle against not only Soviet aggression but also Communist China and a slew of other powers.

THE BEST THINGS MONEY CAN BUY Understatement is the hallmark of true luxury, says Vikas Oberoi www.forbesindia.com LETTER FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Rich Is a State of Mind ahul Gandhi was perhaps on to something when he said some time back that poverty is a state of mind. What he did not elaborate R on was how this state of mind has become the guiding principle in Indian political discourse. Politicians love poverty, since it gives them endless opportunities to tax everybody and everything and focus on pork-barrel schemes to “alleviate” this condition. Sorry, we don’t buy this. We think it is glorious to be rich, especially when it is the result of our own eff orts. It is time to rekindle the spirit of human aspiration by changing our thinking. We should foster richness rather than poverty as a state of mind. It requires no genius to tell us that it is aspiration that creates growth and wealth. It is in the process of aspiring INDIA for something and making eff orts to meet our desires that we collectively end up pushing growth. In the process, we also pull everybody up to a better life. It is with this attitude in mind that we present this luxury special where we focus on The Best Things Money Can Buy, among other things.
