I once interned or worked for a republican house representative. I did not share any of his views. It was a job for experience.

Well, if we didn't have these regulations, the hospital will totally 100% pass on the savings to you! That's how capitalism works, duh! /s if that was needed

Reserve. Hospitals, assisted living center, and skilled nursing facilities are required to have on site water for 72 hours and a contract for a 1 month supply with a 3rd party supplier (typically sysco). These are rules baked into medicare/state law.

Lol, yup, just as easy as that. No one will be harmed! It's not rocket science, it's common sense yall! Until your entire district is lighting up your switchboards wondering why noone informed them and why the hell we even need street cleaning - it was fine to your constituents before now. And the retiree really hates that you towed her car and she knows how she will get back at you: a primary.
You act like this isn't something that hasn't been studied for around 150 years. That the first Roosevelt didn't struggle implementing - that every single politician and city manager implements. There are doctorates in this and they still can't solve it. And fortunately for these neighborhoods: they won't just be railroaded any longer, like they were for at least 3 generations with highways, railways, and shitty gentrification.

Haha, I was downvoted for saying a candidate for mayor shouldn't have a bunch of PDFs for their platform. I'm not sure why you're surprised.

And tow/ticket a whole bunch of poor people's cars so they can't show up to work? It's easy to say "tough shit" online, but a whole lot more goes into public administration than that.

Mine was about an $88 fare from the airport to fishtown. And yeah, that driver making an extra 30-40$+ left a very sour taste in my mouth.

Based on my own experience six months ago, they certainly do not. Never got a call or email back, despite leaving 2 forms and 3 voice messages.

It happens in Chicago and Atlanta too.

Lol, Louisiana as a whole and the off the coast of Louisiana are ticking time bombs. Thankfully only poor people live there, according to the Louisiana state government. They can apply for the 12,000$ grant and just move right?

500 total people - including support staff - in the DOT look over 50,000+ daily trains.

Still much more likely to be a victim of a serious, life debilitating car accident on my 25 minute commute from the burbs than a victim of a violent crime in fishtown. My chances of being a victim even go down when I don't really go out past 10pm.

Uh, do you not receive a payroll stub?

So you're saying Philadelphia Co sheriff deputies never talk to or otherwise interact with philadelphia police officers, despite likely drinking at the same place? But sure, you're right. They are different. Sorry about the confusion there.

The FOP represents both?

The FOP represents both?

about that..

I follow the news in the area. I bet the per capita murder rates of the last two years in Surry and stokes co will be comparable with some of our worse cities. It's unfortunate that there are no real time figures and we have to wait for the incomplete fbi data to catch up.

Yeah, that was my impression. Like it was a car accident or something? Some people just think they are the main character.

If it makes you feel any better, this happened recently to me in my neighborhood. The cyclist offered to call the police, I told him to go fuck himself and have a nice day. Its simply not my responsibility to move. Cyclist is clearly in the wrong. If you're riding your bike on the sidewalk you're either knowingly breaking the law or you're a 2-12 year old trick or treating. I also say this as a person who regularly rides their bicycle in this city.

Federal impeachment is not the same as PA impeachment, as the PA constitution states that the conduct must be "misbehavior in office" that has "improper or corrupt motive".

Traditionally, the least busy season is December - February in hospitality in Philly. Coincidentally, it's the same way for anything north of Florida that's not a ski hill.

The volume of new infections could trigger a much more deadly mutation that our vaccine is ineffective against. At least, that's what I assume.

So the press release this morning was citing the power plants (which I assume are natural gas) not being able to run. How would this factor into what you're saying? Is it something like what happened in Texas with natural gas plants not be winterized enough to take days of negative temps?

I'm fairly certain you're referencing group homes. This would be covered under anti-discrimination laws provided by both the Civil Rights Act and federal funding mandates from the federal government. Most states also have state statutes that prevent discrimination of long term care facilities - like group homes.
