The Cabella's down the road in Hamburg brought in some big convinces to Pottsville - Lowes, Walmart, Aldi's, restaurants, etc.
Pottsville is home to the original Yuengling brewery, which is kind if my Graceland 😀

I'm happy to see the it play out the way it did. Kind of proves my point on the state of this sub, and reddit in general.
I noticed a bunch of my comments in unrelated subs took big downvotes out of the blue as well.
Yay.

Yay!
I'm GOP registered since 1990 and voted mostly D in the last cycle, incluing Biden.
Thanks for the downvotes, I guess. I'm willing to discuss where and why I diverge from the GOP (and have here before).
But - fuck the GOP is an easy way to get upvotes here with NO comments.

Senior voters are the most reliable.
By a large margin.

Reply to comment by Strongbow85 in Oaks are dying at record rates across Chesapeake region by Strongbow85
I've noticed conifer saplings have taken over here and are growing like weeds (at least for the past 2 springs). Hemlock, spruce and fir.
Not so much for hardwoods.

There's been so much news about EAB (estimated 6 billion dead Ashes in NA), I didn't even realize there was an Oak problem.
Guess I know what I'll be planting seedlings of to replace the fallen ashes on the open parts of my property.

Reply to comment by JNDCLLC in Pennsylvania Senate passes bill to cut state gas tax by wildfireonvenus
That's the crux of it. Where does the weed tax money get allocated? PA has more miles of roads than all of New England combined.
I've got nothing against legalization, but a big portion of that tax revenue has to be allocated to mundane infrastructure costs, at least if one considers it an alternative to gas taxes.

They need to keep an eye on these young COs.
Remember when the TSA hired a ton of mall cops after 9/11? Teenage kids on a power trip.
18 year old COs should probably be relegated to intern status.

Reply to comment by joefred111 in PA High School Athletes Can Now Profit From Name, Image, Likeness by gvillepa
It was a bigger deal with NCAA athletes, where the argument was they were already being compensated via scholarships.
I was glad to see that flipped - students with art scholarships could sell their art, but OSU athletes couldn't trade autographs for free tattoos?
I didn't realize it was even a thing with high school athletes, but my stance is the same - athletic associations should not interfere with athlete's personal (and legal) doings off the field.

>Regarding long wait times, L&I has taken many steps since the start of the pandemic to meet demand and improve the UC system. These include:
>Hiring staff
>UC claims are processed by staff in interviewer and examiner roles. Currently, in total, the department has 619 individuals in these roles. About 80 of these individuals are new hires within the past few months, and efforts to hire additional UC staff are ongoing.
Seems like a good "one stone, two birds" approach 😀 press 1 to apply for UC benefits, press 2 to apply for a job here...

I grew up in Allentown in the 70s, I've lived in Philly, and attended college in Pittsburgh. Spent the first 25 years of my career in Harrisburg.
I find it insulting that you are shitting on most of the state.
Perhaps that's your intent to get upvotes here. But grow up. PA is an awesome state, it's not just Philly or Pittsburgh.

He's hated on this sub, but Toomey was/is a strong proponent of term limits, and was true to his word. I believe he's been partnered up with Ed Rendell to propose a convention of states term limit ammendment.
Either way, congrats to Fetterman, I (a genx'r) wish him well.

Even an "invited guest"? Which seems to me like the case here.
I had a friend break a leg at my property while helping me do some work. My USAA homeowners policy paid them (actually overpaid above and beyond my liability, then tried to recoup the overpayment).

I'm not sure, but the homeowner's liability insurance should cover you if you get hurt or accidentally damage their property.

Reply to The 3 Mile Island nuclear power station near Harrisburg, PA, suffers a partial meltdown in 1979, due to coolant leakage. Though there were no casualties, the accident gave way to more stringent safety standards, and also a slowdown in construction of reactors. by LoneWolfInCyberia
I was in middle school less than 20 miles from TMI when it occurred, so too young to really understand what was going on.
I recently watched the Netflix TMI documentary, and my initial reaction was that it seemed slanted towards a anti-nucular viewpoint. But the Wikipedia account of what happened in 1979 seems pretty close to the Netflix version.
