> and they do it anonymously
They just as commonly don't do it anonymously. This is a common trope from low class racists who have worked as cashiers & are pissed off at the world for being "better" than them. Facebook is full of people who love to come out of the woodwork whenever EBT is mentioned to tell about some time they worked in a grocery store or gas station and saw people "abusing it." Because obviously only low class whites deserve EBT or something like that.
Someone should turn it around and call them colonizers for speaking English in Pennsylvania instead of German (on a county by county level German was more common than English until WW1 throughout the state & some of those families were here before William Penn was).

Reply to is there a reason why the citizens of Pennsylvania allow utilities to be so high? by Cute_Platypus_5989
I hear ya. I literally blew a gasket at my UGI Weather Normalization Adjustment Fee of $15 dollars last month. Getting charged for NOT using a service is worthy of getting the pitchforks out.

Their calendar has like 50 holidays on it so it's not much of a concession. I wonder what's their angle.

Demand... what exactly? PA voters put these people in charge who voted on all of this... the lack of a severance tax, the gas tax, the electricity de-regulation, the school taxes and allocation... this is what 4 decades of republican control looks like.
​
Republicans have been in control of PA Congress (with very minor blips) since the 70's, and nearly every thing we strongly dislike was done by them to benefit corporations over people

> yet Democrats run the whole state
That's ridiculous. The GOP has had a deathgrip on most of Pennsylvania for ages. Look at this chart under "historical party control."
https://ballotpedia.org/Party_control_of_Pennsylvania_state_government
That's a lot of red.
The state senate has been republican forever. The state house is usually republican and just recently turned blue (for the first time in over a decade), by a tiny majority that doesn't mean anything if just a handful of those democrats are right-leaning (which you can almost count on).
Nonetheless: Medicaid and EBT is state/county managed but the feds set most of the rules & funding.

It was yesterday evening after it started raining a little bit. It only sprinkled for like 5 minutes but when it started is when the smell started

The system works well you just have to know how it works. She could get MAWD from the assistance office if she requires health sustaining medicine. It has a premium adjusted at 5% gross income. It's usually cheaper than employees insurance.
Edit: Downvote this all you want. It's a fact. Eligibility requirements were expanded recently and it's insanely easy to qualify for "disabilty" related MA. Source: IMCW for DHS CWOPA.

It just smelled like a really strong mixture of random chemicals.. I’ve never smelled anything like it before, ever so I can’t really say I can say what it smells like

Oh, you didn't get what I was saying.
I was saying you're acting like a miserable asshole, for literally no reason, and therefore would be shitty to be around especially at festive things like a party.

Ok so my point on it being state run bares no impact on the current changes So it's on the Federal Level? Also mostly ran by Democrats.
But I'll keep reading up on it, I may be missing something
