it would be cool if they made it into like...a place to stop on the trail. toilets, place to fill your water bottle, big maps, maybe some bike tools.

"Parking-separated bike lanes have historically been barred on state-owned roadways because Pennsylvania law requires parked vehicles to be within 12 inches of the curb, or the edge of the pavement." Although this is(was) technically the law for all roads in PA.
not disagreeing with you, just adding some nuance in case anyone else is following along.

harrisburg made a law that in all of pennsylvania, you can't have parking separating bike lines on any state roads. they have to make the lanes in the door zone. (spring garden, broad, etc.)

that's literally by design. the whole point of the suburbs is they don't want city people coming to them.

i don't think i'm superior to you- you seem to be taking this all so personally. my ideas are far superior to yours though, and so much so they were even enshrined in the constitution.
you know you cant defend your position morally, so you're feigning victimhood to try to make disagreeing with your ideas the same as insulting you.
trust me, i wasn't insulting you personally because i honestly don't care about you at all

lol ok- you don't think they should have equal rights to you- fair trial, attorney, anything?
i could tell you all about solutions that have worked in other places in the country, and other places in the world, but you don't care, because your emphasis is on your self and how you feel. that's why you "feel" condescended to- because this entire discussion has been about your feelings and nothing else.

yeah but they are children- if you want to try them as adults, give them all the rights and privileges of adults. we should not decide to punish children as adults because you feel scared.

do you want to actually solve the problem, or do you want to just feel good about putting a 16 year old kid in jail for 7 years for stealing a hyundai?

i'm not blind, the data doesn't support your conclusion.
all this does is put your feelings over facts and it is not a pragmatic solution.

that doesn't do anything to stop the problems though. it just makes you feel good about punishing someone.

felony tax evasion is 5 years and $100,000. if you paid your baby sitter over $600 this year without a W9, that would be the maximum penalty.

lol so the hospitality sector, which was closed for 2 years, has had the highest wage gains.
are you surprised by that? what about gas prices? do you remember when a barrel of oil was less than zero dollars? what happened there?
i'm sure you could give me a full economic breakdown, but like your namesake, you'd "prefer not to".

well the same argument i got into yesterday in this exact sub is if we're doing maximum punishment for every felony, that is gonna have a lot of consequences for a lot of people. you ready for that?

nonfarm payrolls are up 5.1%, inflation was 9.1; corporate price gouging was responsible for over 60% of the increase.
i must be reading different news because whatever you're reading is not grounded in reality.

i'm happy to make 16 year olds full adults with all the rights, responsibilities, and privileges.
telling them they can work at 14, join the army at 18, smoke at 19, drink at 21, is pretty fucked up.

all prices just went up but wages didn't. maybe those two things aren't as closely linked as you think they are?

The Bill of Rights was drafted in New York City, where the federal government was operating out of Federal Hall in 1789. (The Declaration of Independence and the original, unamended Constitution were written and signed in Philadelphia.)
duly noted. thank you for the heads up.

oh i'm sorry- violating these kids constitutional rights will fix all the gun problems? there are dozens of other things that can and should be done before you get there.
this is fucking embarrassing for the city who wrote the bill of rights.

well the kids are 16 so they're not legal adults.

a lot of people yesterday were saying the 16 year olds who robbed gun stores should be tried as adults and get the maximum sentences. they're really quiet today about this situation.

if you're doing roast pork, day old rolls are best. there is a lot of juice/sauce whatever you want to call it, and a fresh roll just doesn't have the structural integrity to hold up to it.
