None of these paint chip eating, knuckle dragging cult members have ever used a portapotty at a concert, event, or a job site? Do these knuckleheads realize "unisex bathrooms" don't mean people use them together? It means a line forms, and you wait your turn to do your business.

Throwing more money at a district doesn’t always solve the problem.
There are very many poorly performing districts that spend much more per pupil than do their better performing neighbors.

Some Politicians Who Block the GOP Are (unfortunately) Bastards. Gotta deal with it for a few more generations, looks like. Better than fascists.

Reply to comment by CharacterBrief9121 in [Renting] Am I able to repair and deduct in this situation? by coolgal212
This has really had me thinking lately.
We need caps on rent, but we also need to require utilities to be included, and not cost too much. This would incentivize landlords to not take the cheapest option.
My place has terrible insulation for example, but why would he fix it, it costs him nothing.

And even then. Lots of states have gone through this (I have personal memories of Ohio going through it while I lived there and continuing on long afterwards). Because any budget/taxation changes have to come through the legislature and I know of no state court that was able to compel a state legislature to fundamentally change how it funds something (since ostensibly the courts and legislatures are equally powerful and it could easily result in a constitutional crisis if the courts tried to hold the legislators in contempt of court).

What is the point of complaining about one unisex, handicap accessible bathroom? Why be mad that someone who needs to use the bathroom will get to use the bathroom?

There are already no litter boxes in any bathroom. I hate these people.

Source on that Covid death figure? The 7 week death average has been floating around 300 - 500 since the summer with and exception of a large spike around early November.

I see comments saying it’s either for kids to use or for absorbing blood spills…
Though most sources point to the former. I just find it so bizarre that this is what the GOP is wasting their energy on…

>They would need to reroute through Williamsport to connect State College and Harrisburg without laying new track.
Just saying, this would be amazing. The bus services in these areas suck. I went to college up there, and its so hard to get around without a car.

So there actually IS A school that has litter boxes in each classroom.
Columbine High School in Colorado.
Not for the GQP or soft thinking reasons…
So that if (when?) there is another shooting and/or school lockdown students can use them as a toilet.
This is America.

I will never not point out that the whole “litter boxes in schools” thing actually started because of a school that did have litter in classrooms…stored away in the event of a school shooting, as the litter was a cheap way to absorb blood spill.
THAT is what the GOP is mocking

The county system in Maryland seemed to be a lot more equitable than the district system in PA.
I wonder if this change could impact the housing market long term as people wouldn't be trying to cram into certain districts.

The ruling will be appealed, and will probably have to go to the State Supreme Court. Even then, the immediacy of implication will likely depend on lawmakers and local governments.

Having grown up close to SC, there was some discussion back in the 80’s & 90’s about it, but from what I can recall, the existing rail lines in nearby Bellefonte would not be able to handle the load of Amtrak. It’s a historic railroad, and is rarely used. To lay new tracks to SC, along with the work to cut through or over the mountains to Tyrone, were/are costly. Would love to see it happen, though!

Changed format back in December. Now we have four stations playing the same format. No wonder fm radio is dying.
