Why are private companies in charge of this? Just random people with zero accountability measures carrying guns around?

Reply to comment by doc89 in Mad about book bans in school libraries? Philadelphia has a solution - no libraries at all! Only 7/217 schools have libraries for their kids. by youngbuck215
The poverty rate in Philadelphia is 23%, it's 3% in lower merion. Average household income in LM and median salary are double that of philadelphia. That obviously puts a massive strain on the school system. Does that really seem all that bizarre and dishonest?

I have not found a single website that comes close to your 50 or 100 percent numbers. What source are you getting these numbers from? Since we're discussing relative spending, the answer to your questions don't need to be hard numbers. Just that those numbers are higher in the city compared to the suburbs. Which certainly you can understand?

The good news is that the above commenter posted the article that answers your questions. Not exactly shocking, but a lot more intensive teaching is required when you have a large amount of students who are homeless, lack internet access, require special education etc.

They're telling you that reporting a massive ammonia like smell coming from your neighbors house might yield better results.

On one hand, I don't give much of a shit. On the other hand, I'm not a huge fan of this nonprofit made up of executives that have been covering flights and event tickets for governors for almost 30 years now. Not a good look.

Pretty tough to not pay attention to which super pacs are giving you tens of millions of dollars unfortunately.

Pretending that you would have to pay Mastriano to roll back regulations.

That's correct and I'm not quite sure where they are on creating a new test for it. I think I read Colorado and Oregon (maybe?) were trying to create a new test that accounts for that, but for now there's some unfair stuff around DUIs with weed in your system. Better safe than sorry.

No, weed reduces your reaction time and you can't drive with it in your system.

11-22 per district on patrol. Seems low, that's like 250-500 across the entire city. I don't actually know if it helps tho.
Edit: Would also like a more robust way to track 911 calls than simply answering them. Calling 911 after you've been t boned and your car totaled then having the operator tell you a cop won't come out unless you're hurt is not exactly my idea of emergency services, even if they answered it quickly. Obviously this is anecdotal lol.

He was also found guilty on multiple felonies and was awaiting sentencing, not sure where you're getting the idea he got off on all charges.
