It’s heating oil probably. Probably overfilled by the heating oil company. It is essentially diesel fuel. Don’t call 911.

Where are you getting those numbers, and are you sure you are referring to the pension formula for new teachers?

That being said, I teach in Central PA and our max salary is $88k - after 15 years.

An 11 year schedule is abnormal and shorter than most. Probably because they have a problem retaining teachers.

I do agree that most PA starting salaries are reasonable for their areas (maybe low for a 4 year degree and a MS in 5 years) but there are some really low starting salaries in very rural parts of PA.

Wolf and PSERS helped “fix” this by literally fucking over new teachers. Teachers hired today will literally get half the pension of a teacher hired 5+ years ago. They still have to work 35 years to get that shitty pension.

You would think it would be easy to get actual facts for this story from the owner of the Brewery? Especially if they were selling under duress, no?

The white strobe light, the yellow color, the red flashing stop sign, what the fuck else do you need?

This has NOTHING to do with signage, and EVERYTHING to do w/ an irresponsible driver.

I live on 10 acres of mountain land, but so does everyone around me, so we don’t have any problems and have exceptional privacy.

Living in rural PA for 30 years, if your land is adjacent to undeveloped woods, state game lands, state park, it is very unlikely you will have trespassing problems like you see on TikTok but is is possible.

Be prepared for dealing w/ well water, a septic system, clearing snow from a lengthy lane/driveway, clearing fallen trees from a length driveway/lane and the occasion rabid animal.

This is the way.

Middle Paxton Township has what you are looking for w/ the public schools busing you to Holy Name / Bishop McDevit.

15-30 mins from every major retail store w/ Blue Mountain in between. Appalachian Trail in your backyard, surrounded my PA Gamelands.

2 hours from Philly, 3 from New York.

I can’t recommend it enough, it’s where I grew up, and where I live now after 20 years in the Philly area.

Such Bullshit. You can hunt w/ semi autos in PA, just not for deer.

New year, higher fee.

No. It would freeze/reduce property taxes to a defined level.

Next. They have a developed a rather complicated mathematical formula that distributes a new Earned Income Tax. The formula is based on household income and some other factors and is distributed unequally to districts based on those factors.

This idea has been around for a long time.

The average property owner would not less in property taxes and more in earned income taxes - almost making it a “wash”.

This with high income would pay significantly more.

What charter schools is PA charge tuition? Can you name one? Cause that is not how Charter schools works in PA.

Don’t worry. Soon they will be full of trash because the state ain’t paying to clean them.

Lol. Many of my high school students have a similar plan that somehow starts w/ TikTok or YouTube.

How awful. The tragic death. The horrendous comments left on Reddit.

Right, because many republicans have been banned by the mods.

Do you think I am missing those points, I am one of the few people who read the article.

More democrats did because more people voted democratic. Not because they were targeted.

If as many republicans voted, the numbers would be reverse.

Percentage of a whole is important because it allows you to make comparisons.

Make things proportional.

Yes.

10,920 votes from 1,000,000 is 1%.

3,503 from 187,000 is 1.8%.

Right. And we cannot let the perfect get in the way of the good.

We should not go around celebrating 1-2% of mail-in ballots being discarded.

We also should acknowledge that voting is a messy process that will have errors when tabulating the results for over 5 million in-person/mail-in votes. A target of 0% errors is noble but impractical.

We should not proclaim that democrats were disenfranchised because of rule following democrats (democratic poll workers in democratic districts) throwing out democrat voter mail-in ballots enforced by republican legislature and the republican leaning supreme court.

=============

An even more cynical discussion would involve the discussion of district by district in-person and mail-in ballots numbers and how counting these ballots won't really change the district based election results and thus the overall election results for the state at large.

What I said is EXACTLY what the articles states, because I read the entire article.

Almost 1.2 million mall in ballots were cast. This info is in the article.

1,000,000 dem and 187,0000 rep mail in ballots. (in the article)

1% of dem and 1.8% of rep mail in ballots were discarded. (in the artcile)

Republicans were 1.8 times more likely to have their mail-in ballot canceled vs. dems using the raw numbers of mail in votes.

Dems were 3 times more likely to have their mail-in ballot canceled vs. republicans using the raw numbers of discarded mail-in ballots.

My last two statements are clearly deceptive because we are not given context and are not given the raw numbers.

I also agree. The article does present most of the information. The problem is not even the title.

Most people understand that titles/headlines are attention grabbing, click bait.

The problem, as I see it, is that majority of Redditors take the implied meaning of the headline as the summary of the entire article.

As your proposed headlines show, the actual content in the article gives much better and nuanced understanding of the voting patterns.

I can easily say "duh, most democrats can't read anyways, no wonder a majority of their mail ballots were thrown out" using the headline. Using my 1.8x times stat, I could say "duh, most republicans, can't read anyways".

They could have said "98+% of 1.2 million ballots processed error free in PA mid-term election".

That would have been a much more neutral statement that conveyed the raw number of votes and the percent of them that had issues.

The AP intentionally used the word "majority" - which can mean anything from 50.1% upto 100% of 16,000 number. They new exactly what they were doing. Based on the comments on here, most people read it EXACTLY how they intended....

Read it, get outraged, hopefully click on the article. Most people here stopped at step 2.

From the article, around 1.2 million. True.

Republicans do not “attack” anything. In PA they disagreed with emergency election measure put in place with the COVID shutdown which were maintained but not followed w/ legislative action once the COVID shutdown was ended.

The next argument was over mail in voting procedures and what rules (from the legislature) should and should not be followed and how that should be resolved in each voting district.

It can be argued, as many did, the arguments for following the rules supported the republicans.

Although, we can see in these results that 1% of dems didn’t follow ten rules and 1.8% of republicans didn’t follow the rules.
