Hey, I'm assuming you tried asking in r/glutenfree? Good luck, I know it can be tricky finding GF food.

Provide a citation for your premise.

In what way is that responsive?

I provided a citation.

The ACLU has defended Christians in the past for 1A rights:

I think so, too.

A lot of people would agree with that. Wilkinsburg has a proposal to merge with Pittsburgh:

https://wilkinsburgmerger.org/

There is a lot of consolidation of services with Pittsburgh in Allegheny County that don't include annexation. Waste disposal and policing in particular. EMS, not so much. IIRC, a lot of municipalities in Allegheny County maintain their own volunteer fire dept.

Also, this is such a great question. Have you checked in with r/urbanplanning to discuss the classification issue? I worked for a small neighborhood association for a few years, and we were qualified for certain CDBG grants because of our demographics. I am sure that there are other economic opportunities that are offered to 1st class tiers that aren't offered to all classes. Some of those would be infrastructure opportunities, like airports, interstate roads, and consumer rail development.

Shoot, a lot of long-term residents don't know a lot of this stuff.

No, that isn't true. Free ID is limited to the homeless:

Requiring ID is a form of poll tax. If the IF=D was free to all, that would work. But it isn't.

That isn't what is happening, not at all. All of those would have to be put on the ballot as a package; it's a ridiculous take and is why so little has been achieved by this legislative body. Talk to your Senators, and ask them to disassemble the packaged bill.

Oh that was the doctor that did my surgery, too. I thought she was fantastic.

Not everyone. You are justified. I always think of this scene from As Good As It Gets, when Jack Nicholson talks about how a lot of peoples' stories are all good times, noodle salad. It's a way old movie, but I still really love it.

Yes, I guess I've moved the conversation, didn't I? FWIW, I'm sorry for what you went through. I don't think a flag would have helped in your situation. I hope you are able to heal.

Ah, okay. But still, it's not saying that removing them is dangerous. I think of this the same way that things changed when POC were included in graphics in books and posters. It's an acknowledgement that you are seen.

I don't think the schools can really do much more than that, unless it's an intervention in a situation that endangers a student.

I don't see the comment that you are quoting here. And the comment you are replying to has not been edited.

I wish I did. The interviewer was a woman, and she had two guests, both men. I checked the site, and there was an article listed, but the interviewer was a man. This was today, and I am not sure how long it takes WESA to archive their shows.

EDIT: u/GSDBUZZ u/xxdropdeadlexi I tried looking the NPR schedule over for yesterday. I tend to listen while I'm working and don't really track the shows. I did two webinars yesterday. So, my listening time was 10AM - 1PM and 3PM - 5PM. I am so sorry I couldn't find the show!

I'm glad PA is taking this step. I heard an interesting discussion on NPR today. It's not up on the site yet, I'll look for it tomorrow. I really don't want to misquote what the expert said about some of the chemicals.

Not what you're asking, but I remember my mom and some older friends talking about this when I was a kid:

It was a right rite of passage to have tea leaves read there.

Misinformation; removed.

Smart move.

Peer countries is a more important consideration. Also, the education budget isn't keeping up with GDP. It also doesn't meet UNESCO’s benchmark of a 15.00% share of total public expenditure on education.

These are some of the reasons that our education system isn't working at the level that it should.

Here's a good overview of comparisons to other countries and also within the US

https://educationdata.org/public-education-spending-statistics

We're 12th when comparing to other peer countries and we are below benchmarks for education spending by some measures. At one time, what you are saying here was true. But it isn't so much true anymore.

Yeah, they edited the headline, too. What a weird practice.

This quote doesn't appear in the linked article. Did you link the correct article?

Okay, released and thank you for the response. Also, for anyone else? here is Rep. Houlahan's Wikipedia page.
