Tell me you don't know what socialism is without telling me you don't know what socialism is.

And the rich carpet bagger who didn't even live in the state could have served you better?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you have no idea what road safety really is.

That's inspections for roads and bridges and safety features like guard rails, electronic signs and plowing and salting.

>At I have pointed out elsewhere, the section of the Commonwealth Constitution that restricts motor vehicle revenues
includes highway safety, which would include PSP highway patrols, as
among the permissible expenditures and these transfers have been going
on for decades. Even if the transfers were abolished, they would need
to be made up for by cutting PSP activity, cutting other programs
supported by the General Fund to transfer their funding to the PSP or
increases in revenue through new or higher fees and taxes.

No, it doesn't, and any belief it does is the same as in believing in faeries and unicorns, or just a straight inability to understand the English language.

The PSP was getting a handout from the Motor License Fund because towns were getting rid of their police forces and making PSP pick up the slack.

How much of the $4.25 billion that was siphoned off for PSP could have been spent fixing the number of red flagged bridges in this state? You know, like the one in Pittsburgh that collapsed?

Yes, that amount was over 7 years, and amounts to just over $600 million a year. But the point of that money was to fix the states failing roads and bridges, not as a slush fund for the police.

If the money is not going to where it's supposed to, we shouldn't be paying it.

Wife works in Vital Records, PA's long form birth certificate is standard issue now. The problem your having is each state has their own version of what constitutes as "long form."

So basically, you're going to have to fight it, which may involve getting a letter from PA HHS.

I did archaeology in the Allegheny National Forest for companies doing resource drilling years ago. We found so many rigs just left to rot out there. We reported them, and people just shrugged their shoulders like it wasn't their problem.

No one cared then, and they only care now because of how bad it's gotten. But none of the people that let it get to this point will be prosecuted.

Wife works in Vital Records. Online orders take about 2 weeks, but if you go to an office, It very much depends on where you go.

Some offices issue same day if you get there and get your forms in before 2pm. Some are doing mail out only. Some offices have limited hours and staff.

My guy, I'm not the one crying so hard he went and created a new subreddit.

Also, I was one of those who reported and got your shit removed. To Quote Olenna Tyrell: "I want her to know it was me."

This isn't an airport. You don't announce your departure here.

Also, cry harder dude. You do nothing but whine and complain.

... wow dude. Comparing biology to having a shit mentality. Way to go.

Cry harder dude.

It's not our fault you chose to be ammosexual.

Oh quit lying. You already sound enough like a tinfoil hat nutjob.

Is anyone really surprised? Toomey has always been for himself and only for himself. He won't face any repercussions because he's running for the hills with his pockets full.

No kid, you're a racist because you seem to think that all anyone has to do to be accepted into American Exceptionalism is subdue their cultural identity and "blend in".

That's not how this country has ever worked. And calling me "bigot" or "fascist" for calling you out on it doesn't help your case any. I even quoted you, so if you're going to meltdown on anyone, maybe look in the mirror and confront your own shit first.

This country is not all star-spangled awesome, nore should it ever be treated that way. We are a blend of ideas and cultures. Not wholly one, but from many, homogenized into something that works. But we should never forget what this country has done to the people in it.

So maybe start acting like a member of that instead of forcing others to fit as a member of your narrative.

Cute. Ass backwards wrong, but still cute.

Yes, when I went to Italy, they called me American, because that's where I was from. (Also to be fair, my pronunciation of the language wasn't the best as I learned from my grandparents, and they have a very northern Italian local dialect that doesn't work everywhere) Much like anyone from France, Germany, etc, would be called where they're from.

That would be because culture isn't about the place you're born, you absolute donkey. It's shared customs, beliefs, art, etc. We barely have that, because we choose to think of ourselves as (insert epithet)-American. That could be something as small as a regional epithet such as state, medium scale as directional (Southern, northeastern, western), or larger scale such as adding another country (Italian-American, Irish-American, etc). We are a young country. A few scant hundreds of years old. Culture is developed over a macro scale of time, not micro.

Also, what you are harping on about in your original diatribe, is cultural suppression, not adaptation or amalgamation. Lets take your one comment;

>all immigrants got shit on until they blended their culture with our culture.

This line of thinking here is racist as fuck, because you seem to think that shit stopped when someone became "Americanized" enough. Sorry to burst your bubble pal, but that dog don't hunt. Easiest way to point that shit out is post Pearl Harbor, post 9/11 or during COVID.

There is no such thing as "American culture" unless you are speaking about Native Americans.

We are a country of blended ideologies and cultures. We don't have a culture.

You're talking about American racism. Everything not "us" is "evil" and "should be stomped out"
