Omg 😱

You’re one of those sovereign citizens aren’t ya? Like you don’t go driving, you go “traveling”. Probably have one of those fake license plates and everything.

> There are 6 year olds at my kids school that can’t dress themselves. 8 year olds that can’t tie their shoes. It’s really strange to see.

I'm sure there were then, too, and kids like you now.

It's wild what's happening. AR is about to show us why child labor laws were originally enacted.

Earlier this month Arkansa enacted the Youth Hiring Act of 2023. Under the new law children under 16 don't have to get the Division of Labor's permission to be employed. The state also no longer has to verify the age of those under 16 before they take a job. The law doesn't change the hours or kinds of jobs kids can work.

"Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders believes protecting kids is most important, but this permit was an arbitrary burden on parents to get permission from the government for their child to get a job," communications director Alexa Henning said in a statement to NPR. "All child labor laws that actually protect children still apply and we expect businesses to comply just as they are required to do now."

Workers under 16 in Arkansas have had to get these permits for decades.

Supporters of the new law say it gets rid of a tedious requirement, streamlines the hiring process, and allows parents — rather than the government — to make decisions about their children.

But opponents say the work certificates protected vulnerable youth from exploitation.

Miracle of miracles- I actually saw police stop an aggressive driver on Cottman ave. this morning. I had to do a double take because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

Zyrtec for itch, and you can ramp up to 4 per day as needed, per my dermatologist.

And only really boring plain gentle skin care like Dove bar soap and Cerave or Cetaphil moisturizer.

That won’t stop gamblers from going to the casino.

Free hotel rooms are easy though. Daycares come with a lot of regulations and liability issues

The biggest losers were Los Angeles County, California (-90,704); Cook County, Illinois (-68,314); Queens County, New York (-50,112); Kings County, New York (-46,970); and Bronx County, New York (-41,143).

LA, Chicago, and NYC lost more, proportionally speaking. As usual, we are beholden to nation-wide trends.

Also, this data is to be taken with a grain of salt. They say we lost population from July '21 to July '22, this article states that we gained population from April '21 to April '22: https://localtoday.news/ny/philly-attracts-residents-from-suburbs-and-brooklyn-cellphone-data-shows-5778.html

"They found that while Philadelphia steadily lost population during the first year and a half of the pandemic, the picture has been more mixed since mid-2021. Between April 2021 and April 2022, the city’s population grew by 0.8%, while Brooklyn, Chicago and San Francisco have not experienced a single month of population increase since March 2020."

so crazy that all 4 of his tires happened to have nails in the sidewalls, wild coincidence

Now That’s What I Call Capitalism

The Station Square casinos in Vegas do this. I would imagine many don’t because openly offering to watch children is such a huge liability vs the actual benefit.

I’ll be at the Punk Rock Flea Market on Saturday and the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market on Sunday!

I was just there this past weekend; there's still that one big arcade but they also opened a new one in Showboat that's pretty big and has a ton of games. Shit prizes, but you can win a BMW motorcycle for 2 million tickets.

There's a new-ish arcade using converted gaming space on the boardwalk level of some casino now. Pretty nice setup too.

Looks to me like Outlaw's car actually hit the Uber not the other way around, granted it's because the Uber ran the light

Heard the cocktails are still very good, but there's no way I'll be considering it for a full dinner thing: there are way better restaurants that I prefer that don't cost that much (and even if I dropped more on a dinner - it was always worth it).

I also prefer different cuisine and my regular go-tos are not "fine dining", or whatever they are pretending to be, but even by looking at their menu makes me go "NAAAAH..." (it's not exciting to me at all, and the price is eyebrows raising).

The problem is that once Foxwoods opened in CT and broke the Vegas/AC monopoly, it was more or less inevitable that everyone else was going to compete for that revenue and not lose it to other states.

The best we can do is keep the casinos in places that won't impair better development -- and I think we're okay on that front in Philadelphia -- and tax the shit out of it. And we do: "Total tax revenue generated collectively through all forms of gaming and fantasy contests was $188,976,155* during February 2023."

Obviously, they can be doing better on gambling addiction, especially given how much is spent to promote sports betting at this point, and probably should be more aggressive at banning people from gambling who ever pull shit like this.

Would that daycare just be a bunch of slot machines?

Came out to my car once to go somewhere, just for it to be this close on both sides. Just said nope, not today! Luckily wasn't going anywhere important

Go to Yadain Cultural Solutions - 100 W Chelten Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19144, United States, I don’t work there nor associated with them but my daughter has terrible allergies and in the spring and fall is miserable, get their eczema body butter. It’s worked wonders for her skin, and of course take your allergy medicine.

Thank me later
