Pffft. Like socialists actually exist in this country's government. I wish the Dems were half as progressive as Republican voters have brainwashed into thinking.

Alcohol needs to be outlawed. Arguably kills more than fentanyl or heroin.

Off topic, but this reminded me of a time when I was in college and I dropped my brother off at the Harrisburg train station. I overheard a group of college aged kids who had apparently bought Amtrak tickets to Lewistown thinking it would get them to Bucknell University, which is actually in Lewisburg. They got off the train in Hbg when they realized the error and were trying to figure out how to get to Lewisburg. There was no bus until the next day, so I wound up giving them a ride.

online gambling/lottery revenue + legalized weed tax money = no more funding issues. you're welcome!

> Do these knuckleheads realize "unisex bathrooms" don't mean people use them together?

Honestly - I would PREFER that thats what they believed/thought it meant - because at least then I could play them off as just stupid....the truth is that they are stupid and abhorrently bigoted:

> But I knew there was more to it. Then all of the sudden it comes out about if we have students who are transitioning, they can use that bathroom. We don’t need to have that bathroom in the plans.

Literally saying - there are transition people at the school - and we dont want 'those type' to have a bathroom.

They're fighting this battle to prevent a group of students, of teenage kids, from receiving even the slightest consideration.

Literally the most despicable thing I've read in a while.

Both actions equally don't do anything to better to problem so downvote away ig if it helps you sleep at night.

FUCK THE GOP! GIVE ME UPVOTES!

>. Cuz what else are we gonna do.

Downvote idiots who do

Senior voters are the most reliable.

By a large margin.

Yeah good luck with that. Too much “new poor” around where I am from at least.

It looks like they could do a line going from Harrisburg to Buffalo, that would be amazing. Looks like it's Norfolk Southern.

I'm of the opinion the gov't needs to take over the entire nation's rail system and really push electric rail, but that aint going to happen.

What a time to be alive.

Sure the socialist would have done the same

> What's up with litter boxes? Is there a story there or is this some weird anti furry rant?

Sorta. Many teachers & schools have taken to putting buckets and/or litter in room closets in the event of extended lockdown due to school shootings. The presence of those supplies, no joke, have led to rants about students who identify as furries and just prefer to use litterboxes.

Refuted just yesterday (again) on a different sub:

What's laughable is how the American school system uses cheaper products for a much more serious and awful situation than a rat infested Mavis discount tire that uses better materials for oil clean ups. Which is a fact because I worked at said shop and have got to said shit school system. There's nothing else to do but to laugh. The people that know how awful the school systems are won't do anything. And the others are fighting the "woke" saying that there's nothing wrong with the school system.

A minimum wage of 7.25 is starving people and putting people on the streets. Starving the same kids in the same shit school system. But we laugh about that all the time. The minimum wage, imo, is enabling those tragic shooting. Maybe if these kids didn't have so hard of a life. It wouldn't happen as often. Ofc there's other reasons. But it's a factor. And we joke about that. Cuz what else are we gonna do.

Why show up? It’s all rigged right?

Seems they didn’t think that strategy through huh.

This has been the biggest change in the last almost 40 years. Education between the parties has completely flipped.

Weird I’m getting downvoted. The first comment was not clear of the commenter’s stance. I would never want this to happen to me or our daughter.

In case anyone isn't familiar with Palmerton... it is a Super Fund site.

​

no really... not Super Fun... SUPER FUND... as in it was SO bad that they gov't had to come in and fix it... and in response, they started doing the same shit again that caused the super fund site to begin with. (no, I'm not kidding)

They already said its Palmerton... you don't need to rub it in

good read, thanks for sharing! although I wonder whether the legislature would enact a tax-ceiling before they would enact any equitable laws to redistribute that wealth.

I also wonder about teacher wages, but I suppose that's probably beside the point.

Amtrak owns its line between Harrisburg and Philadelphia. It's why the service there is good and beyond that they get stuck behind Norfolk Southern trains trying to get to and from Pittsburgh.

No need to test, they know its there, everywhere... and zinc, and every other hard metal possible

Unspeakably tragic.... And cringey.

It looks like Republicans just didn't bother showing up to these. HD-35, the least Democratic district, was won by Biden by around 16 points. Tonight, the Democrat won by 58. I think this might be a consequence of the educational divide. Educated voters are the most reliable, and they have become a Democratic group.
