”Our guy fucked up”
How so? Dems passed the laws than Trump rolled it back while he had a majority in Congress.
No one said that it’s okay or that our system isn’t broken but, in the meantime, voting in Republicans is just going to expedite our race to the bottom.

Read your lease. Terms should be clearly stated.

As it stands, with several limitations, kids in New York state get full tuition covered by the state, up to 125k. Hell, most adults can take advantage of it too.
That alone covers the increased taxes for most individuals.

I’m not a lawyer but my understanding in PA eviction orders come from the magistrates office and typically take 90 days. Philadelphia is allowed to have a slightly different process I believe but I’m not sure being a month late is enough. You should probably search PA eviction law and Philadelphia eviction law.

Thank you for your input.
What do you mean by "College provided for kids?"

If I had the means, I'd take NY over PA any day. College provided for kids? Most won't ever save that much on taxes.
If you are *really* concerned with schools, Northern Baltimore County is a superb public school area, it's an expensive, but wonderful area, and can likely fit your needs. I can't think of anywhere in rural PA that even comes close.

This is the only way we are considering the move. I have a good remote job, can work it as long as its within US territory.
the PA geography looks much more pleasing to us than MI boonies (and MI land tax is outrageous!) We are somewhat bound by proximity to family...otherwise we'd be in some real mountains out west.
NY state is very nice too but..to hell with their taxes on taxes and front plates on cars.

No one is surviving here either. Sure, you can move out to the boonies with terrible schools like you are asking about and get property and a house for dirt cheap, but unless you work remotely, good luck affording anything.

Yeah cool. Everyone speaking out after the plume already went over western PA. I am pissed. There is no hope. What's he gonna do? Say he is mad about it now. Too late dude. He and fetterman were my last hopes. This is bullshit. Republicans are fucking scum but they are correct when they say "do nothing democrats".

If the real estate market and job prospects werent a wasteland...we would.
The average home price in toronto now is well over a million dollars and you need 200k income to qualify for a mortgage.
Sure toronto is a prosperous city...but houses are still near a million bucks 6 hours away where the major employer is tim hortons and a home hardware.
The same kind of jobs (of which there are 1/20th that are here) pay roughly 30% less while getting taxed more than 15%+ more than here., and sales and carbon tax is another 20% on much of the commodities you buy, gasoline, natural gas, oil.
Home prices and salaries were totally normal and inline 10 years ago. I don't understand how anyone survives there now as a new resident or new home buyer...

>lol why am i getting down voted for this and anytime i bring up catholic religion?
A few reasons. The catholic church is corrupt to its core. We know nothing from scripture is true, at best its legend is greatly exaggerated, just from archeological evidence. The abuse and issues that are rampant in the Catholic church.
That's probably not it though, this is very, very deep evangelical territory. Evangelicals don't consider Catholics Christians and often view them as poorly as other religions.

>youll see that we are from canada
To be frank, Many of us would are dying to have an easy path to Canada, or just out of the US. Every election cycle I need to make sure my family is prepped to flee PA to a blue state, and possibly the country if it goes really south.
My advice, go back to Canada, it's going to get worse before it gets better here.

Some commute to Williamsport or New York, a lot of people I know work at the hospital and local care homes. I work for the county itself at 911 and if that is your bent we are hiring.

It may well be a letter reminding you because IF you don't pay double in March as you verbally agreed to, he is one step ahead in the magistrate's eyes when it comes time to file for eviction/possession. Normally you aren't in danger until something is sent certified. For really bad situations a constable will hand deliver it to you or post it on your door.

Cowards! They can still communicate through Zoom where there's no risk of physical harm.
We can't change the past, but we need to ensure this never happens again. That involves rights for overextended employees, safety regulations, and steep penalties for unsafe practices. If a politician advocates against these things, you know they're on the side of poisoning towns.

Buddy, Sec Pete is nowhere to be found, Biden is talking about Chinese balloons, and Norfolk's execs basically disappeared.
If this administration was half competent there'd be bills on the floor right now and an investigation. Moreso, Biden himself broke the rail strike when they were demanding better pay, more time off, and safer conditions.
Overworked, exhausted workers plus faulty equipment is what caused this. Rail workers wanted less of that, but Joe "nothing will fundamentally change" Biden said no.
