Me too. They changed my bank info and my email. This was after I got laid off in early January and called in. They didn't get back to me till the middle of March. That's when I found out what happened. Unemployment told me I had to file a police report and give it to the treasury department but he had no idea how I'd be able to do that. Also said I could never claim unemployment again unless I did this. Local police department charged me 15$ to file a basically useless report because I had zero information to give them. I spent two weeks trying to get through to them before I finally did. They told me they have nothing to do with that and I need to give the police report to the unemployment office. The treasury depart lady also checked my account and saw that they unemployment guy never changed my bank and email info back like he claimed he did. They still had the scammers info on my account.

The unemployment guy also wanted me to upload scans of my social security card and birth certificate to the website to prove my identity but we never figured out how the scammers got into my account so I didn't want to basically hand over more of my information to them. Fortunately a friend saw something online about unemployment sending reps out to the local career link offices so you could make appointments and fix issues with them. I spent 5 hours in that office that day but the guy was great. Got all my problems resolved and even was able to get me back payments from when I tried to file the fall before when I was off work but the website didn't work.

Something this happened around here like ten years ago. Someone ordered heating oil but the delivery driver screwed up and pumped it into the neighbors house. Unfortunately that house had switched over to natural gas and didn't use oil anymore. The fill pipe just dumped out into the basement because the homeowner had removed the old storage tanks. I forget the exact amount but I believe they put a few hundred gallons into that basement.

Yeah except Philadelphia has no right to have their own process. Thats actually against the law and has been challenged more then once. As for the open carry issue, that's because they are a city of the first class. All that means is that they hit a certain population number. It's not because Philadelphia decided to make it that you needed a license for open carry.

The funny thing is that there are situations where you could legally walk around with a AR strapped to your back but couldn't carry a pocket knife. Philly I believe for example bans all knives from being carried unless your actively using it for work. While firearm laws are uniform across the entire state (even if certain cities like to act like that's not the case), knife owners unfortunately don't have that same protection.

First energy keeps shutting plants down too. I worked at one for about 9 years as a contractor. I've also seen how they're losing employees from the plants that are still open because those employees are worried their plant will be the next one to go. They've even been talking about shutting down the nuke in beaver valley.
