I think people are getting confused with the pump gas tax (which blows) and the service fees our natural gas companies (example ugi) is tacking on the bills bc (I’m theorizing here so bare with me) they need money to pay for infrastructure upgrades… even though they raised rates in the past and made their share holders happy they did nothing for their service.

I just don’t understand how people who do something like this even go through with it. Don’t they realize that this is ruining other peoples lives as well as their own?

I think the outrage belongs to the legendary gas tax installed by the Corbett era (republican) and increased two more times during the Wolfe (democrat) era. It’s the added tax to the gas pump. It was touted as a tax to fix our roads and bridges when they passed it… instead 4.3 billion went to the pensions of the state police. 4.3 billion.

He says he was laid off for being sick. How can that be? There is a lot of information missing here.

AITTFHWI - Am I the tin foil hat wearing idiot? This recent fentanyl crap is sketchy? There's no benefit to a drug dealer spiking their product and killing the people buying from them. There is no benefit to a Delta 8 company spiking their product that they sell. BUT, you know where the benefit is? People who want Delta 8 illegal. People who have lost the "just say no" drug war and figure the only way to make them stop is to scare them with the threat of death. If my tin foil hat didn't just fall off I would start to suspect someone else with an agenda.

You guys should quantify exactly what my fair share is. If we tallied up everything people want to pay for by taxing the rich, it’s many times more money than we actually have. I’ve paid a shitload of money in taxes and these problems still exist. There’s no reason to believe that if I pay more, there will be fewer of these issues

Bedford has a Giant Eagle, a Weis, and a sizable farmers market on Mile Level. Also a top notch farm-to-table restaurant called Horn O Plenty is there that we make it a point to stop at when we're in the area. I'm sure there are other good restaurant options but that one is a slam dunk.

Good for you. I still want millionaires to pay their fair share of taxes and the government to help the underserved communities.

Good for you, the person I was responding to didn't ask a question, they showed skepticism for my stance on homelessness.

It's a logical fallacy to point the finger at individuals to solve the homelessness problem. Just like with climate change and a host of other issues, the problem is systemic and needs to be fixed from the top. I do what I can to help my community, but we as a society need to come together to hold the government accountable for doing their job.

How not? No one else said a day off is an endorsement of religion. You did. I said a state holiday is more than that. Where's the confusion here?

Seriously, what mountaintop? I'm not asking millionaires to buy houses for poor people, just to pay their fair share in taxes. I want the government to do its job and help people.

I don't think charity "resume" matters, but they asked what I do, as if I don't follow my own values.

If Shapiro wanted to be Senator, he would have run. He would have won whichever position in PA he wanted.

You can own a gun. Just can't buy one unless you want to lie. They can't access the MMJ database for a background check. You can buy long guns private party with no background check. Keep your card tucked somewhere safe unless you are getting from the dispo and don't have it on your person when in possession of a firearm.

I was just saying that because our Med program is already fairly well running compared to our "legal" neighbor states. I totally agree with you haha.

A widow's succession would not be a good idea here. John Fetterman is almost certainly not leaving the Senate, but if he does it would likely be Conor Lamb to replace him, as that's who the Democratic establishment wanted in the first place.

He has major coexisting medical problems that require their own medication. In all likelihood, they chose to do inpatient to monitor drug reactions either to antidepressants themselves or if they interact with something else he is taking.

How do you know that she pushed him to run?

How is being sick not a good reason? Were you fired for being sick?

If you are ok with signing away your rights that's fine. Not everyone is looking to do that and pay the state for the privilege. Shit should be legal across ed the board period.

Not everyone gives a fuck about owning a gun. I'd rather live without chronic pain than have the right to buy a gun that I'll never purchase.

Urb is generally known as one of the reputable brands of d8/d9 hemp derived products.

Not familiar with “Strictly Delta” but now know to avoid them at all cost! I think I see where the DA is going, because the 3 brands were sold at Tobacco Hut, but if Urb and Packwoods are blameless (no traces of opioids found in their products) why group them with the “Strictly Delta” products which were the only out of the 3 brands tested to have dangerous traces of opioids?

On another note, anyone buying from this chain of stores really should think again. I’ve gotten that same Urb d9 100mg edible package shown in the story for $20 at another local shop. No way I’d ever spend $44.99 for 100mg.

Price gouging much Tobacco Hut?

Edit: Made adjustments to align with the facts outlined in the article, specifically on which 1 brand was found to have traces of heroin and fentanyl.

What is this counselor? Also I am technically sick which isn’t a good reason to be on unemployment so wouldn’t they try and kick me off if they knew ?

Go see the counselor. They will work with you. It really can be a help.
