Oh, baby, you're in the right state if you like trains and train history.
As others have said, the rails are not nationalized--Amtrak, unfortunately, only exists in its present form because of the freight rail industry. ~70% of Amtrak service runs on industrial rail.
If you believe it should be different, as many train nerds like myself do, we must bother our elected officials to no end, regardless of party.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in [Renting] Am I able to repair and deduct in this situation? by coolgal212
I just moved in literally last month and the lease is for a year 😩 I’m debating on putting one final maintenance request in and giving the landlord a deadline to complete. If he doesn’t complete it by that time I was going to get an HVAC professional to come out and repair it. I just don’t want to end up being responsible for the $500 it’s going to cost to repair. And I agree - it makes no sense to wait to repair it as the longer they wait the more it’s going to cost. I’m just not sure what my next move should be.

I just meant that I have it in my legal documents that I will maintain and repair/replace all appliances. And if I am unable to do so on a timely manner, you can break your lease with a full refund of the security deposit and that month's rent.

In the 90's the oldies stations were playing stuff from the 60's. 30 year gap. 30 years later we should start to hear Foo Fighters on oldies stations.

I'd just break the lease. Have them pay for inconveniences and use an electric heater and have then pay the bill. I fix or service anything as soon as it's reported.

If they don't fix it, you have legal grounds to break your lease as a furnace is to be provided and functioning.

Dems have made up a lot of ground in Pennsylvania the past couple election cycles. Allegheny is pretty much a blue county. Let's win this so we can see some progress in this state. Tired of the obstructionist GQP who only wants to wage culture wars.

Not the smoothest deflection ever to go from random gun violence to non-gun related suicides.

To Bellefonte, the rail line itself is now a bike trail.

The massive money printing went almost entirely towards the capital class and small business tyrants. The wage-earning class saw very little of that.

There used to be a rail line that ran from Lock Haven through the south side of Nittany Valley up to Bellefonte. One of the stops was at the family sawmill behind the Walker Fire Hall.

It may be limping along, but your heating bill is going to be WAY higher than it should be if the furnace were functioning properly! I would repair and deduct. If he objects, tell him that you will see him in court. No judge will side with a landlord refusing to keep a furnace in good working order!

Reply to comment by Otter592 in Pennsylvania 9-year-old graduates from high school, starts college by SAT0725
My college accepted a student last year who was 14 or 15 years old.
I don't know if they live on campus (or what the legality of that would even be). They're incredibly ambitious and intelligent but I honestly feel a bit bad for them. While they aren't as extreme an age gap as this kid; there's still a yawning chasm in life experience between a 15/16 year old and a 22 year old in contemporary American society.
