"Forces pedestrians into the street" -- Are you the type to walk into moving traffic? I'm not fully understanding the logic here.

I wish this were true. In my neighborhood it certainly is not. You can call in, sure, and they'll repeat the address back to you... and never send anyone.

Reply to comment by QuidProJoe2020 in Amen Brown has survived another ballot challenge. But the judge also cited ‘serious concerns’ about his financial disclosures. by ADFC

Man, I say this from a place of love and completely separately from anything we're disagreeing about here: I think you should reread your comment, count up the number of times you say 'you want...' or 'you think...' and then check my comments to see if I actually said any of those things.

You're saying I said a bunch of things I didn't say and IMHO that's a red flag for a kind of mental place where you start to see anyone who disagrees with you about anything as your enemy. I say this because I've been there, and it's not a happy place.

Feel free to ignore me, but I hope you have a peaceful and happy day.

Reply to What is being built next to Penn Medicine in University City? by TheFartingKing_56

Welcome to my rant: Instead of building the new tower, CHOP should spend the money on care for kids in the city that actually need the health care services… (Sorry, don’t get me wrong CHOP is an amazing hospital and does beyond amazing things, but they don’t take most Medicaid insurances and their charity cases are usually from different countries.) As much as I love all of the things CHOP has done for the world, I wish they would give a little more back to their community. Instead, St. Christophers Hospital for Children in Philly is constantly on the verge of closing with financial issues because of poor Medicaid reimbursement. Legally and logistically though, St. Chris can’t close because the children would have no where to go since CHOP does not take their insurance. St. Chris was actually the better hospital until about the 1990s.

Sorry everyone, and I know I will get tons of downvotes but needed to vent a little because it’s just so aggravating. People always donate to CHOP when they have tonnnnns of money.
