>Why such a misleading title?

Because anti-urban clickbait is this tabloid's MO.

This is the same place that published a headline saying Philly was going to hire people who couldn't swim to be lifeguards.

This is not a newspaper.

I need a spoiler tag for how lewd this comment is.

The dirtbikes ride on the sidewalks, what are you talking about?

Job's a job

¯\(ツ)/¯

Transferring from PATCO to the Riverline is a goddamn nightmare.

Congratulations! You are now stuck in one of the shittiest parts of Camden for a full fucking hour. There are no benches and there is nowhere else to go.

>you’re just as bad,

Fucking wooooow.

"Why doesn't the express train go slower"

My high school graduation let out at like 10pm? It was a wednesday.

That IHOP went from dead to "Fire marshall's maximum stated capacity" in fifteen minutes.

At least two people quit instantly. The shift manager was cooking and coming out every five minutes to apologize.

We would have left but we were with people. :\

You'd have to be doing sour monkey by the shot to even have a chance of still being conscious for kickoff.

That's just going to be another payout from our taxes that'll cost some department unrelated to the PPD.

>it’s MUCH easier to get hired by a contract company

That's an ever growing part of the workforce that nobody touches on.

So much of the labor market, even skilled, is just contractors and "consultants." The parent org gets to keep toting their benefits plan for the special few, meanwhile the majority of people you see or interact with have zero PTO and a $6500 healthcare deductible.

Contracting needs to be reigned in, but America is an anti-worker nation at heart.

There's another one on the opposite end of the block by the former Rite Aid, too.

Those guys have been making m o n e y these last few days. They're not packing up until like 7:30, too.

Wouldn't be surprised if the blue van dude on Broad & Girard has nothing but Eagles stuff right now.

He's just trying all the cheesesteak places.

> enterprise risk management professional Karen Javaruski, activist and former Congressional candidate Alexandra Hunt, and realtor Gregg Kravitz.

> Brady, a certified public accountant, was the deputy city controller and had almost three decades of experience working in the office before Mayor Jim Kenney appointed her to the acting position in November.

> Javaruski currently works as a credit risk governance officer at Citi and has over two decades of experience in private sector auditing and risk management working at companies like Wells Fargo and Cenlar FSB.

Honestly not looking at the other two. A CPA with government experience and someone who has an auditing background are both fine with me.

> It consists of locating street level dealers and arresting those that are violent and non-violent dealers, giving them a warning and an ultimatum that starting at that very moment, continuing to deal drugs is not an option and the program will help them get out of that life with job training and opportunities. 

> The intervention program is one of two law enforcement strategies Rhynhart laid out that have worked in other cities. The second program, LEAD, similar to the drug market program, has city services at the core of its mission. 

> LEAD, law enforcement assisted diversion, allows law enforcement to redirect individuals suspected of low-level crimes to community-based services that pick out hidden factors motivating their illegal activities. 

That seems fairly specific for someone currently in that office. And I do prefer "something that worked elsewhere" instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.

Another major thing we're missing is an FDA approved xylazine withdrawal treatment plan. A lot of addicts are dealing with two addictions, not one, and there's currently nothing for xylazine withdrawal since it's a veterinary drug. That makes them extremely resistant to rehab.

And a new commissioner doesn't change a single damn thing about what I pointed out.

The PPD does not answer to the city. The city cannot fire them.

And the city bargains with the FOP, Lodge 5, who do not answer to the city. McNesby does not answer to the city.

> The Philadelphia Police Department said it will ask the city’s police union to stop selling a T-shirt bearing the department’s trademark badge logo next to a slogan that reads, “Heroes when we die, fired when we try.”

> The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 began selling the shirts at $20 a pop on Monday — a week after Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw announced the firing of an officer who fatally shot a 12-year-old boy in the back in South Philadelphia earlier this month.

What can they do?

PPD does not answer to the city. Being able to hand pick their doctors is a state policy. The city can't fire them. That goes to mandatory arbitration, and those arbiters do things like reinstate officers who send bestiality porn to their coworkers.

The only target that the city can touch is funding, and that's obviously not on the table.

Not a single thing has been "don't enforce moving violations."

That is the soft strike. The PPD does not give a shit.

> The city budget currently includes $1.25 million to hire 28 public safety enforcement officers. The agreement doesn’t include a timetable, but City Council President Darrell L. Clarke, who has championed the effort for three years, said he was optimistic the city would begin to hire for the jobs in early 2023.

We really need to replace some of that parking with designated loading zones.

That's somewhat in progress at the moment, unless the next mayor is actively against keeping the traffic enforcers the PPD finally agreed to allowing (yes, we're that fucked by them).

> Philadelphia may replace some sworn police officers with civilians and create a unit of unarmed traffic enforcement officers, a move city officials say is aimed at freeing up trained police to fight crime amid a historic surge in gun violence.

>currently it's just wasting away

The ship was only used for 17 years. It's been a piece of speculative value for over 50 years.

Look at me, I am the median now.

I hate the rabbit hole you just sent me down.
