It's whataboutism because your entire premise is based on you, for whatever reason, thinking I'm 100% supportive of Gainey and thinking his administration has no fuck ups, which is completely false. I would also love to take money away from police but we all know that's not going to happen so if we can make upmc some it's a win. You're speaking of this negatively because you would feel better if they did something else? Politics is a bus not a cab, man.

I left Pittsburgh in 2018. Isn’t this the same boat that was there at that time?

I didn't reply to you, so not expecting you to have any answer.

That's based on the assumption that the money saved on taxes is going to reducing treatment cost, rather than paying out bonuses to executives and building fancy new facilities that don't meet the needs of the people working in them.
I've seen a couple studies over the years that suggest NFP hospitals have costs mostly in-line with those of for profits, but they are losses of absolutely massive tax sources for their cities, leaving local services devoid of huge opportunities they could have otherwise.
And that's not even regarding hospitals that are also the biggest name in insurance in their local areas as well.

Check craigslist. People aren't looking for laborers on reddit, for the most part.

You'd think the Judge would get wise when he added 'Yeahhh, that's the ticket.' after he answered every question.

You need a parking pass for the stadium lots. You can get one on any of the 3rd party sites that sell tickets. I would think you can expect to pay around $50-75, but someone can correct me if this is outdated.

They're so bad. The fact that when I longboard I have to bring a broom says a lot. 😭

Good points. Yale does a lot more for New Haven as well. Pottstown hospital is even paying 50% (I think) of a full tax rate as a PILOT as a major benefit to its school district.

Yes almost definitely. It reads to me "hey we're going after your parking facilities and empty lots now, and those are not charitable so we'll win. Settle before we challenge Presby Hospital..."
Considering some successful challenges of hospitals like Pottstown, it'd be wise for the big non profits to settle before they get HUP test cases from a state Supreme Court that labor helped elect.

Broke my wrist last summer so it cut my season short, for sure. Honestly, I'd be down to just find another secret spot with some decent pavement and no observers. Playground parking lots are the worst.

The fact that an insurance company can own the hospital they are charging for their services is completely insane. They should be completely separate entities and in no way working together.
They essentially get to decide what they charge themselves with made up numbers to screw people over.

Most fucked up boats cost more to get rid of than they are worth. Fiberglass doesn't hold it's value and everything else gets destroyed by water.

What a weird place this is. You will be asked questions like "How many bags do you want?" and "Do you mind the robot?"

It's a shitty thing to say, but a lot of people are thinking it for good reason. There never was a lead on the Dakota James or Paul Kochu cases.
