Again, not a serial killer in this scenario, someone wrongfully convicted. We have killed dozens of people in the US that we now know for a fact were innocent

>“Our culture at Sheetz has always been centered on making as much money as we possibly can. We are only publicly apologizing because this affected our revenue. We are saying sorry in hopes you come back to our establishment and spend more money here.
Fixed it for him.

That's the only culture here. We have no culture. I've worked with people from Taiwan, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Azerbaijan, and so on. I'm told the same thing by all of them, that America's literally only known for working themselves to death for no reason. Only 2 out of all the people I've worked with have stuck around here. The rest went back to their home country after working here extended periods of time. The "culture" here is work until you can't and then you're of no use so just go die in a hole somewhere, but make sure not somewhere inconvenient that might make another worker late.
We work for NOTHING here. We get nothing in return with our labor other than funneling money to the top 1%. No mandated vacation, no paid maternity/paternity time, no public health insurance, no access to affordable education, affordable child care, no NOTHING.

That's the whole rub. What level of emotional response (no matter how justified, true, or widely-shared) could outweigh a very real potential to kill someone who was innocent?

That does open a question though - are you still performing prison labor if you are on death row? If they can't or don't, then there is an interest in the profit lost to those who benefit from the prison-industrial complex

There's a LOT of dental professionals and the ADA that have been pushing for legislation to include dental as part of health insurance because what happens in your mouth affects the rest of your HEALTH. Your eyes and teeth are not separate from the rest of your body and shouldn't be classified as so with insurance.

Up until a special election not remainder of the term.

There is a weird historical parallel to Woodrow Wilson who some believe his wife ran the show from behind closed doors for a bit while he was sick.
But if fetterman steps down, Shapiro can appoint whomever he wishes and that person will serve until a new election is held and he will choose an established politician.

Reply to comment by Ashamed_Literature62 in Moving to mountain region of PA-Tell me how it is? by gregv64
<3 Born and raised. I often think about how communal PA is, and wonder if the Quaker influence has something to do with it.
If OP does end up moving here, his children would be far better off attending one of the Quaker friendship schools IMO.

IMO, she would refuse the appointment. She has no interest in becoming a politician herself.

Exactly. This is America. To pretend you're not looked at only as a robot with a number put here on Earth to make the owner more money...who we trying to fool ? That's all any of us are of value for, how much labor can we produce. Same reason we have such a resentment of the poor here. Can't extract capital out of them so they aren't worth the air they breathe to these ghouls and fuck faces.

The process for replacing a US Senator is the same in every state. Governor appoints a temporary replacement, special election must occur within two years. If the term is less than two years from ending, special election is not necessary. Shapiro could appoint anyone, and at one point in time appointing the wife of the Senator who stepped down or died was extremely common, but these days its unheard of. Shapiro would probably appoint Conor Lamb or Malcolm Kenyatta or somebody like that.

My guess is Shapiro would appoint the golden boy - Conor Lamb.
