I don’t disagree with your point. It is valid. But business owners would have a vested interest in reducing crime in the city and making it more appealing for visitors with money to visit the city. Not saying they also wouldn’t do shady things for their own benefit. It’s really a challenge to get decent people and give them the support to make change.

Yes, which is admittedly dumb, but you can just ask them to slice it and they will

Maybe I am misinformed, but I know someone who works for the city and is part of a union. He gets a pension, but told me that new hires no longer have the option. They have 401k only.

Who knew that followers of Christ could pick and choose which communities they served. I thought Christ showed by travel preaching all over, providing relief to those in need that it was their mission.

So wherever you go, make disciples of all nations: Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19

Skechers Women's Relaxed Fit Trego Alpine Trail Hiking Boot is the name of the shoe.. a model number that *might* apply is 167008 ... when I bought them they were on sale

Patapsco State Park has some lovely trails. Park near the Swinging Bridge and pick a direction :3

Like Homer in the bushes

Just try underground pizza and tell us what you think

Yeah, they should get no pension. It's a part-time position, with now a maximum of 8 years of service.

Yep

Fresh Market or ShopRite ( Liberty Heights location).

That is not the case - all of the city union jobs have pension.

Birrotecca - interesting toppings, charred crust & other good things on the menu.

Lots of parking too!

Thank you for clarifying that question. Now that it is clarified (not full or immediate), I agree it’s inconsequential now, but what about in 20 years? When dozens could have worked 8 years, turned 65, and now collect? Is that sustainable for Baltimore city government? Honestly interested in your opinion.

And is this situation uniquely American? If so, why does the monarchy exist? Why does the caste system still exist (even if legally it doesn’t)? What you have said sounds good, but given your lack of response to how to put anything in action, the responses seem to simply parrot popular views, but lack substance.

Slainte in fells probably a good bet

> Whereas, in the instance of city council members, they are going to receive their full pension after 8 years of service and will receive it immediately, rather than only after turning 65 years old.

Well, no. Neither full pension at 8 years or immediately. But also a big thing you seem to be overlooking is the number of people this affects--it's likely in the dozens, max. In total cost terms, it's a rounding error.

Ok. So. I lived a block from Hersch's for a decade, and imho, their handmade pasta outshines their pizza 100%. Tasty pizza with good toppings, for sure, but reallllly soggy middles.

Any time! Making these changes is absolutely possible, it happens all the time... but it takes a lot of work. It's very good to get off the sidelines- win or lose, if you participate you'll learn a lot about how power and our government really function.

Yes, slicing is optional.

Football is on at the same time. So maybe not.
