Reply to comment by beanqueen88 in Penn Medicine residents and fellows want a union, citing grueling workloads and 80-hour workweeks by nankles

Give me 5 minutes and I'll post just as many articles saying the opposite. It's the Internet, it's easy to find confirmation bias.

Edit: only took me three minutes. It's wild, almost like different news sources are getting paid by different people to promote different agendas.

I used links to real articles! According to you that means you have to believe me and support universal health care now or you're just a reddit nephew.

Reply to Philadelphia may create a new, high-level position to coordinate its crime and safety response by redeyeblink

>Legislation introduced Thursday by City Council President Darrell L. Clarke would create a chief public safety director who would manage the budget, operations, and development of the city’s public safety response among a handful of agencies and departments, both inside and outside law enforcement.
>
>The director would be among the top four administrative positions in city government, alongside the mayor, managing director, and finance director.
>
>The new role requires a change to the city’s Home Rule Charter, so voters would need to approve its creation through a ballot question. If legislation is approved by City Council, the question could appear on the primary election ballot May 16. A spokesperson for Mayor Jim Kenney said his office would review the legislation.
>
... >
>A handful of other cities, including Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, have similar director-level positions in city government that oversee the public safety response. In Newark, N.J., the director of public safety position was created in 2016 and oversees the Police Department, the Fire Department, and the Office of Emergency Management.
>
>Philadelphia already employs a senior director of the Office of Criminal Justice and Public Safety to coordinate the city’s public-safety response. That position is currently held by Erica Atwood, who reports to the managing director.
>
>Clarke, who said he discussed the plan with Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw, said it was not intended to be a criticism of Atwood or Managing Director Tumar Alexander.

Reply to Best CSA in the city? by Lolotopo

CSAs are a scam to give you thousands of pounds of bitter greens on the promise of some good tomatoes twice a year.
