Yeah, because a teenager having a job is completely similar to those things. Didn't you work as a teenager?

>Nobody enjoys working
Ah, there's the sticky wicket. I fucking LOVED working when I was 15. Making money, hanging out with friends, money for dates, buying stuff that I wanted because I had money. It was fucking awesome.
I still do, actually, but I'm fortunate enough to have a good work ethic that got me a great job.

No. Your options are either:
A) Eat it and move on with your life
B) File a civil lawsuit

Lol. Kids getting a part time job at McDonald's isn't "child labor" it's teenagers with jobs. Didn't you work as a teenager?

Oh I'm so tired of this shitty argument on Reddit. I don't give a shit what big corps do, or you do. Doing bad things is doing bad things.

When googling the PSP retirement I saw a thing saying the average PA State employee retires at 82% of their salary. I can't find it again to prove that point, so it could be moot.

To retire at 45 as a trooper you'd either need to start at 25 and take the 20 year retirement that is 50% of your highest salary or start at 20.
You can't get hired as a trooper until you have 60 college credits and are at least 21. So at best you're not retiring at 75% until you're 46, and even then most troopers don't start the job until they're in their mid-late 20s and there's a mandatory retirement age of 60.
What I'm saying is the concept you're after doesn't happen much and is a silly argument.

>You’re in here arguing in favor of “fuck teachers”
🧃 Here's a straw. Grasp harder.
Saying the state should get out of the pension business and agreeing that teachers should be paid more, while simultaneously pointing out that teachers who are underpaid can move to different districts or jobs (just like everyone else can) isn't "fuck teachers."

>1200 per month is $14,400 for the year. That's virtually nothing these days. Better to keep it on the downlow
That's called fraud.

That's their decision then. I used to work in adolescent mental health and loved helping kids, but it didn't pay the bills. You have to look out for yourself, no one else is going to.

So, they just won't work and collect a pension. Why work if you make more money retired than you would working?
I know my local school district has three retired troopers as SROs. They're fantastic with the kids and the school barely pays them because they don't have to, since they have their pensions.

>PA has teachers making $29,000/year right now
While I agree teachers deserve a lot more money than they get...
https://www.salary.com/research/salary/posting/entry-level-teacher-salary/pa
If they're only making $29k, they need to find a new school district to work for.

>They still have to work 35 years
So if someone becomes a teacher at 24 they have to work until they're 59?
Oh no! Anyway.
Maybe the state should get out of the pension business. People who are in it now get it, everyone else gets a 401k like the rest of us.

Come to a mountain city of 45,000 people or a major city with professional sports and lots of things to do.
This isn't the insult you think it is.

Probably the second nicest Penn State commonwealth campus only behind Erie, but Altoona City has all the problems you'd expect from a city that's losing it's main industry.

Best ballpark in the minor leagues. I don't live there, but last time I was there, downtown Altoona is really in the middle of a Renaissance. It's interesting, the mall is dying and the old downtown is coming back with really nice, little stores and restaurants.
WookieeSteakIsChewie t1_j8ysj5o wrote
Altoona is mentioned in a lot of movies and TV shows for some reason, George Burns even mentioned it in the title of his biography.
I stand by my opinion that Altoona pizza is just an internet meme, I never saw it in any pizza place when I went to Penn State.

Based on what that fact sheet says about:
-
How it doesn't stay in the food chain(so it doesn't keep in the animals system)
-
how fast it evaporates in the environment making it unlikely an animal would ingest any
-
how short it's half life is, meaning even if it does ingest some it degrades very quickly
I would assume the amount that could make it into a milk supply would be negligible.
