Nah, developers aren’t excused just because they CAN do something. The city’s at fault, no doubt about that, but accountability has to work in all directions. All parties involved are guilty except the tenants.

Does it matter where the blame is? It’s not on the individuals that are just trying to get by and that’s the point.

>The raises by the end of the contract would only bring the average salary up to $23,500, which is not enough to live on in Philadelphia
This is absolutely the truth. When rents are going up all over the city by over 15%, developers are kicking people out of their townhomes to make way for even more expensive apartments, and we are seeing taxes skyrocket, wages need to keep up until we finally realize that letting capitalists control basic necessity prices is not a good idea. Don't want to pay your people a livable wage (in any industry), then you shouldn't be hiring and need to suck it up and deal with it yourself.

Like don’t get me wrong, I found a good pizza place. Ani’s has decent pizza and great wings, but like you said, don’t expect it to be the same. Apparently someone doesn’t like us trash talking the shit pizza here. That’s ok though, I’ve supplemented with cheesesteaks and pretzels hahaha now those are good here

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, that’s funny.

Bruh, I’m from North Jersey originally, been here for 4 years… I still have yet to find any pizza here that REMOTELY tastes as good as a true NY/North NJ slice.

One thing I learned living in this city for the last few years, despite being called the “city of brotherly love” it’s also the city of “me first”. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve found an appreciation for this place, it’s home. I’ve met a lot of good people, but there are some people that are either just painfully oblivious to those around them, or so self centered that they don’t care enough to have any foresight as to how they’re affecting others.

Reply to Heads up Verizon Fios people by TwoWilburs
Also don’t be fooled by the people coming around asking for your account number to send you a gift card. I had a girl come to my door the other day doing that shit, she had a badge and a Verizon jacket. The badge looked a little janky so we called Verizon after I sent her away and come to find out i was right and it was a scam.

It’s the same when explaining that Karl Marx helped lay the foundation for our modern labor unions. Social security, Medicare, all the things these boomers are starting to take advantage of are social programs which are SOCIAList in nature. Pig headed capitalist brainwashing is dooming us.
Everything is evil until it hits close to home. Look at Herschel Walker now, big anti-abortionist GOP dickhead, is now being accused of paying for his mistress’s abortion to cover his own ass, not even for health reasons.
A woman’s right to choice is not debatable, it’s a right. Someone who wants to get married to someone of the same sex is not up for debate, it’s a right. Someone who doesn’t want to be what they were assigned at birth and wants to make a change to their life and have a fulfilling and happy life, that shouldn’t be up for debate, that should be a right.
The things that are on the ballot this election shouldn’t even be there. We need to shut these Christian nationalists down, send them back to their 2am meetings in the fields with their white hoods where they belong.

They'd rather die than be in a socialist society. Meanwhile capitalism is LITERALLY killing people.

Oh this guy knows, just doesn't care. An unborn cluster of cells is more important than the person he vowed to spend his life with.
Anyone voting for the pieces of shit Mastriano or Oz thinks this way. They also hold their own personal opinions and discomfort at the idea of homosexuality and gay marriage above the feelings and rights of another human being.

Bruh, I hope your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend knows how you feel because no matter which one you have, Mastriano will make sure that they have no rights. Or if you are single, I hope your daughter, sister, mother, female cousin, whoever knows this too. Things will be very different when the shit that Mastriano is about to bring hits close to home.

I feel like this is borderline suppression. Why wouldn't you want to inform your constituents about your platforms? Granted, those who are most likely voting for Oz or (god help us all) Mastriano are those who are either informed, shitty individuals, or UNinformed idiots who have no idea what they are voting for but will vote red just because they will never vote blue.

Reply to Could a 4-Day, 32-Hour Work Week Come to Pennsylvania? These 3 Democrats Are Working On It by Open_Veins_8
IF they’re going to do this, and can somehow mandate it, they also need to mandate that pay should reflect the change and no one loses money in their paychecks. 32 hour work weeks sound great but people are struggling as it is. You really think businesses are going to technically pay people more to do less? This is America! Where your sole purpose in life is to keep the capitalist machine running while dreaming that one day you could become one of the elite.
