I’m assuming they probably mis-typed someone’s SSN or insurance ID number and got to yours. Still a weird mistake.

The 40 hours work week was designed for an era where only one spouse/parent had to work and could support his family on a single income and the other one was able to stay home and do all the domestic labor and child rearing so it didn’t end up piling up at the end of the week.

In this day and age when both people have to work it becomes really hard to keep up with it. I don’t know how people with kids to do it. It’s hard enough to stay on top of my 2-adult, 1-pet household.

I don’t know what has to change to fix this but shit, something does.

Great in theory but my fear is that they’ll just cut my hours and I’ll end up getting paid less. Unless employers are legally mandated to keep pay the same I don’t see anyone willingly paying people the same to do less hours, and they won’t want to shell out for overtime either.

I would love 3 day weekends but I’m pessimistic that it would actually end up being a good thing and not just end up docking everyone’s pay.

You’d think they’d just excuse her and move on to someone who’s just gonna show up without going back and forth with them trying to get out of it.

I’m not blaming OP by any means, I think it’s BS they won’t just excuse her because her reason is valid, but I’m thinking from the clerk or whoever’s perspective. If it were me I’d be like “well this person’s making more work for me by arguing, just toss her.”

“Market changes” AKA the “fuck you, that’s why” fee

Anything that’s not in the lease isn’t enforceable. I’ve had companies do that before where upon move out suddenly they “require” X Y and Z to be done to get the deposit back. Welp, you didn’t put that in my lease so tough shit. Printed out the relevant paragraphs of the law and left it on the counter with the keys. Got the deposit back.

Such bullshit. Just list the price and I’ll decide if I want to pay it. Why is that so difficult.

Lol Duquesne Light sucks. A couple years ago I lost power for 3 days in 100 degree weather. That was fun.

With Duquesne Light’s shitty service? Nothing surprises me anymore.

Transformer blew. Has nobody on this sub experienced this before or what?

It’s a transformer. They blow. It happens.

If I own the property, fuck off. If a landlord owns the property, that should be the landlord’s decision as the owner to set the rules of the property as long as they aren’t violating fire/safety/discrimination laws. You’re gonna tell them they’re only allowed to rent to single individuals or full families? Expect to see LLs push back on that. As they should.

Talk about government overreach. Not to mention privacy concerns. What business is it of anyone else’s who I’m living with?

Ah yes. It’s totally my fault chemo sucks, apparently. Silly me.

Seriously, why the hostile attitude? I never even said I thought there would be a cure but here you are with the guilt-trippy attitude for no good reason.

It’s good to see progress. Even without a cure for cancer, something that can give the person more time is great. Especially if it’s decent quality of life time.

That last sentence is key: trial participants reported no major side effects like those experienced with chemo and radiation (I’m paraphrasing the article.) That is huge. I’ve seen what chemo does to a person and I’d literally rather die. Hopefully one day we can use injections like this as an alternative treatment to chemo. I’m cautiously hopeful.

I didn’t even know Keystone was real for the first 4 years I lived in PA and I tossed them. Never had them come after me those years.

I never got a letter from them last year at tax time, I only got a letter months later saying I owed $2 (yes, 2 dollars) in local tax and had to pay a $25 penalty. Well, you people never sent me the forms to pay the local tax in the first place! Fuck Keystone.

If my Borough really wants that $2 that badly I’ll happily walk down the street to their office and hand it to them. Sheesh.
