You know what else is a physical threat? A massive ecological disaster.

Agree. Haven't heard as many gunshots in my neighborhood. Well, except for the piece of sh*t who shot a senior citizen near me.

Because it is still a very much “one side is still worse than the other” situation.

An Associated Press review of the department’s rulemaking activities in Trump’s first year in office shows at least a dozen safety rules that were under development or already adopted have been repealed, withdrawn, delayed or put on the back burner. In most cases, those rules are opposed by powerful industries. And the political appointees running the agencies that write the rules often come from the industries they regulate.

Dems instituted many rules and had many more on the table that were either rolled back or crushed under the Trump admin.

If you want to argue the Biden admin is a backed up toilet the Trump admin was a proverbial “toxic waste dump”. Rather fitting actually.

Yes, on a statistic level i agree. America also has 11x the population of canada so the chance of literally any event (robbery, murder, car accident) is 11x higher.

Lol why am i getting down voted for this and anytime i bring up catholic religion?

If you read my opening remarks, youll see that we are from canada, and the american school system is foreign to us, being that our oldest is just going to start this september. All i have to go on is anecdotal evidence from people we know that have similar age children, which are only a handful. And what you read in the internet has to be taken with a large scoop of salt as everyone has an opinion, from all areas and walks of life..

I ask about “here” as im sure life and education/environment in philly is different than a valley in bradford.
I mentioned we are near flint. Life in flint and quality of education is a polar opposite of what its like in my little town, 30 miles away.

Yes I am naive to life in PA. I have never been, just drove through the mountain regions of southern NY, looked beautiful. And the homes, land in PA look gorgeous as well.

Sarcasm?

No, I don’t and I think your comments make you sound pretty naive. You can be weary of the public school system here all you want but a) catholic schools aren’t somehow magically immune to these issues, in fact I would argue they have the same issues plus others, and b) such a school that is 100% safe just doesn’t exist. “Here” being the entirety of Pennsylvania.

“I’m aware we are trying to have our cake and eat it too” - so I guess you’re at least a little self-aware after all.

Seriously? Mail is the most official way of sending legal letters.

But honestly. It's likely just a note that you're late on rent.

Hahaha well said

Do you think what i am chasing exists, somewhere? And where is “here”? Id like to hear your full take and experiences to this concluding thought.

We currently live half hour from Flint. People hear that and think we live in a wasteland, where in reality it couldnt be further from the truth.

I’m only asking because I see that I have something coming from my landlord tomorrow. I’m a month back on rent. Which he knew about I had of time and agreed it was OK to pay double in March. But I have no written agreement

Because you’re chasing something that doesn’t exist. That’s the nice version of what I would like to say.

Constructive comment. Why?

Can confirm living near Lewisburg or Danville are is fantastic, so many places to go and things to do, and hiking within an hour any direction

Lol please don’t come here, for several reasons

Not unless OP wants to be shell shocked by coal country inhabitants

Absolutely! It is interesting to see when a bad decision directly leads to a horrible outcome. And of course, Democrats and Republicans both love to screw over workers especially when it comes to the rail workers.

Is this the Centralia fire? Because everyone is aware that it will continue to spread for another 250 years, give or take of course. The who seam is going to be burned and estimates is that there is enough coal to last 250 years. Keep in mind the fire actually started in the 1962, so it was burning for about 61 years, as of now.

I'd love to see the headline "PA Governor says that Norfolk Southern Railroad executives should be disgorged of wealth to compenstate the victims of their negligence"

In Hbg, they call that breakfast.
