this implies the police in Philly actually do something.

Wonder if there's a way to get msnbc or CNN to look into this. Hell, even the inquirer, but have seen hard hitting from them in a while

I assume they're referring to greyhound terminal, which is definitely not new.

The post office in Annville is usually not very crazy, so I'm sure you can find help there.

From the area, haven't run into an RD address before. Might be an older address from somewhere up north, around Waterworks or Bellegrove.

Another option might be the historical society in Lebanon. They have a crazy amount of information all around the county.

Since covid, there's a weird area which is a really dead zone between 7th and 10th, market to chestnut. It's just... odd. I understand it feeling weird, but not really unsafe.

It's not exactly not sketchy during the day too. Definitely some characters walking around at all times.

That said, I've never felt unsafe, but do have to pay attention more than like... 5 years ago.

Did you grow up in the north side of town?

Um, what hate speech laws? Surely you're not conflating a private company with the government? So... that strawman is an interesting setup for thr second half.

So, don't agree with you at all about gun laws violating the check list of of rights you've laid out, but let's say you're right. How do you handle gun violence? People just need to die so you can feel free?

Lol. What rights did dems go after?

all those were replaced with mastriano signs around me

I'm ok with private residential property allowing signs

that's... not how it works. I've worked polls, that's not protocol. Only time you have to check is if it's their first time voting, and that's by seeing their ID.

I don't think this one falls under both sides. It's really a matter of one side passing a law, then realizing the other side would enjoy its benefit too, and wanting to take it away. The other side is just standing there and saying "could you not?" Republicans wouldn't care about the law if dems weren't taking advantage of it.

For me, mailing in my vote means I can just work Tuesday and don't need to figure out when I'm going to vote. Voted a week ago, I'm good.

Weird, I got mine and already returned it. This county...

I really do love it. I split my time 50/50, but that's because covid made me hate my place in philly. Once I move to my new place, I'll be there for good.

This threw me off when moving here. Trick-or-treat was on Thursday back in Lebanon.

Maybe in 50 years, considering thats what fetterman has done

Midstate trail?

I've only ever used it once. I was after a Flyers playoff game, so while I can't remember, I assume Phillies game might have been at the same time and they had incoming while we were loading.

Lol, ignoring reality makes you sane?

Yeah, they definitely had to cut rates to 0 for an excellent economy, which meant when covid hit we could only spend our way out. I'd hate to have seen the situation if the economy wasn't excellent.

I appreciate the laugh, thank you.

Yeah, I'm guessing you don't really pay attention to markets and economics, or if you do and you're purposefully forgetting the reality of 2017.

In 2017, the Fed starts raising rates (thanks Obama for 7 years of a growing economy). In 2018 Trump started to raise tariffs. By 2019 we were heading for a recession, recall us bailing out the farmers. They weren't the only ones hurt. Trump then had his famous dinner with the head of the Fed, which had them cut rates back to 0.

Our economy hasn't been great since 2018, it was on life support heading into 2020, and a lot of cash got tossed at it to save it. Low interest rates, lots of cash, and trumps tax cuts... shockingly we ended up with inflation.

So yeah, when crime starts to rise, check the low level economic numbers, you might learn something.

that's really rather delightful

what jobs need brought back? We're at record unemployment, part of the reason for inflation.

I love how brittle our cops are that they don't do their job because they're demotivated. Welcome to having a job...

I've been looking for stats on this, I assume you have a link?
