Except it ain't, you can drive twenty minutes out of Pittsburgh and find working farms. https://traxfarms.com/

No one owes the OP answers.

In my experience, people who want to "live away from other people" or "move to small town areas that share my values" are usually racists or weirdos.
 
This is America and you have every right to be a racist or a weirdo cultist, but people will judge you accordingly.

> The most robust Catholic schools are urban/semi-urban.
 

The most robust anything, anywhere, is urban/semi-urban. Goods and services go where the customers are.
 
If you're choosing to live in a place like Bradford County, you're choosing to do without some things. It's a game of trade-offs. My grandmother owned a beautiful plot of land up there but when she died we sold it, because I'd never live there.

Then you're getting ripped off. There's absolutely nothing up there. The land is essentially worthless.

It's very easy to get methamphetamines in the Laurel Highlands, too, and selling them is one of the few career options there.

Going to second this, my dad's family relocated from New Jersey to Bradford County in the 1970s and I grew up visiting that area frequently. The people are, uh, clannish to say the least.

They're cheap for a reason. You get what you pay for.

It's video clickbait.

> All vaccinations come with risks.
 

This is not a meaningful statement.
 

No one is suggesting that young males not get a regular regimen of childhood vaccinations. Every male in America has gotten their CDC-recommended regimen of vaccinations, and all states require this to enter primary school.

You are only suggesting that young males not get this vaccine. You are only saying "vaccines have risks!" (that we're not invoking for other vaccines) and that I should "read up more on the subject," that's why I'm saying your angle here is obvious bullshit. If you had a real reason why young people (especially males) should not get it, you'd just post it.

 

There is zero reason for anyone, including young males, to not get the Covid vaccine. It is not perfect but the benefits outweigh the risks, just like any vaccine.

Ah, when engineers and scientists make shit up, it's somebody else's fault. Got it. Not at all like those dumb humanities majors.
 
How many years into your undergrad are you?

> You do not get the wild unreproducible takes seen out of the Humanities, where they are happy to manipulate their data to fit the story they wish to tell.

 
Scientists manipulated the data on smoking and lung cancer for the better part of a century.
 
Engineers manipulated the data on tetraethyl lead in automobile gasoline for the better part of a century.
 
Those are just two examples that spring to mind of "wild unreproducible takes" out of the non-Humanities.
 

Your experience is incredibly naive and you sound like an engineering undergrad who's actually taking the professional pride bullshit seriously.

"Engineers" are dumb as fuck outside of their area of expertise, same as everyone else.

> The bigger question is whether young people, especially males, should get the shots.

 
This isn't a question at all, everybody should, and your angle here is obvious when you don't state a reason for young males to not get the shots.
 
Everyone should get them. It should just be understood that the vaccines make you less likely to get extremely sick, and that high risk people (overweight, diabetes, > 60, etc) are still high risk and should take care to limit their exposure, vaccinated or not.

The vaccines are a net good but the CDC outright lied to people and told them that the vaccines would A> make them immune to covid, and B> keep them from spreading covid.
 
They couldn't have fucked up their own credibility harder if they tried.

You are a hypocrite.

Maybe we could fund something through impartial government agencies, using payments called "taxes," that could serve everyone equally regardless of creed, instead of relying on religious institutions that can discriminate. Just spitballing here.

Thinking about when a Buffalo Wild Wings opened in Selinsgrove and people lined up around the building for weeks.

There's no practical difference and Temple is breaking the law.

The cost of living is low because you get what you pay for.

 
There is absolutely no reason for anyone to move to the coal region.

Do not under any circumstances move to Pottsville, or anywhere else in Schuylkill County.

Retaliation against workers attempting to organize is illegal under federal labor law.

Federal law says otherwise.

It's also illegal for Temple to retaliate against them for organizing.

Voter ID is already required. This meme that anyone can register and just roll into a poling place and vote without ID is a lie.

 
> Why does it take 2 days to count votes?

 
Wait until you hear how long it took to count votes historically.
