Reply to Best Places Near (But Not In the Limits of) Philadelphia? by fuckthrowawayboy

I live in Bucks County (northeast of the city). There are a variety of low income towns as well as some slightly ritzier areas the further north you go. (I live in the southern tip, not ragging on any it.)

It's not the cheapest county to live in, but it's enough outside the city yet close to the city to meet your needs.

If I were in my 30s and looking to rent, I might try Newtown or Yardley first.

French Creek has a pair, they're a good pair for people to know about and visit because they live in the middle of the lake so no one can bother them.

John Heinz has a pair in the middle of the Marsh too. Funny enough if you look up in the sky from the stadiums you may see one of them, I know they hunt around the navy yard I've seen them while fishing there.

Let’s look at the Bible a little closer…specifically, Matthew 25:41-45. “41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’”

These people are in for a rude awakening.

Reply to comment by pnedito in Temple University deactivated health insurance of all striking graduate workers today by TransFattyAcid

Graduate researchers quite often put in 60 hour weeks and Temple pays a whopping $19.5k for this. I don't even know how that keeps someone off the streets.

The minimum wage was last raised in July 2009 at $7.25/hr. If you took a 40 hour work week and inflation adjusted it to today, it's almost $21k. Temple is an absolute joke.

On paper the whole “my kid shouldn’t have to be empathetic towards everyone” thing is true, some people are just horrible monsters that do terrible things. But I’m context, what this lady is really saying is “I don’t want my kid to be accepting of anyone that isn’t white, Christian, and straight.” what a fucking nut job.
