Everyone should be critical of this whole thing. There's so much fucked up about this, how this happened, how this was handled, and the long term consequences that are going to be fumbled.

From what I can remember from when I was looking into college, it's the cheapest in the city aside from the weird no name schools that have sketchy vibes.

Personally I avoid people with small dogs because no one respects their boundaries which makes them very hostile at times.

Every time I hear someone go on about how regulation destroys businesses and all that jazz, I want to hit them with a history books. We have proof that companies will literally let us die (or kill) us without regulation. You can not trust people who only want to make money.

Reply to comment by FlyingFox86 in Ukrainian refugee 'went home to see doctor as Scottish wait too long' by themimeofthemollies
Basically. I'm also not from the UK, I'm from Philly but I have medicaid and the doctors hate my insurance because they often underpay or forget to pay. Specialists can take even longer. I'm currently waiting to get surgery done but the OR the doctor uses has no open slots for the foreseeable time and has to wait until the next schedule comes out.

Why doesn't it say exactly how long the wait was? I've had to wait a year to see a gp because there were no open appointments.

Got woken up by my doctor calling about my medication as she wrote the script wrong and she told me off for not seeing her for a year. I'm not the one with no availability and no openings for a fucking year. I'm a bit pissed off with her attitude at the moment.

Personal opinion, it's a lack of regulation much like other businesses. So many are making profits out the ass and still cry poor while racking up prices.

We have more than enough housing in the city, just greedy fucks who want to hold on to it and keep it out of reach so they can make fat stacks. We need to deincentivize landlords, a small number of people or companies shouldn't be allowed to make a fuckton off of vunerable people, especially since so many of them take the passive part of 'passive income' quite literally and run the shittiest apartments.

Got mum tickets for the Fancies for Sunday, so that should be fun.
So wife has jury duty next week, it's on her day off but on the off chance she gets selected, she told her job. Her boss turned around and said she'll need a timed notice of when she was relieved of jury duty and if it's before the end of her shift, she needs to be in work. Now she usually worked until 9, so that means she could spend all day down there and be expected to be in work. Apparently her boss thinks that she teleports places. I told her to just tell her boss it's a two hour trip to city hall and back via septa which wouldn't be a lie if she just took the bus because fuck that shit.

Reply to comment by ihateminivans2 in Mumia Abu-Jamal pursues one more appeal of life sentence for killing Philadelphia police officer by saintofhate
According to Wikipedia:
> A .38 caliber Charter Arms revolver registered to Abu-Jamal was found at the scene next to him with five spent shell casings.[23] Tests performed with the physical evidence verify that Faulkner was killed by a .38 caliber bullet. The extracted slugs were identified as Federal brand .38 Special +P bullets with hollow bases, which matched the shell casings in Abu-Jamal's handgun retrieved at the scene. Rifling characteristics evident on the bullet fragments extracted from Faulkner's body matched those of the handgun. Anthony L. Paul, supervisor of the Firearms Identification Unit, testified that the type of bullet was rare at the time, with only one manufacturer, though he could name two other manufacturers which produced weapons bearing the same rifling characteristics.[24] Experts testified that the bullet taken from Abu-Jamal was fired from Faulkner's service weapon. George Fassnacht, the defense's ballistics expert, did not dispute the findings of the prosecution's experts.[25]
> Amnesty International, with reference to the physical evidence, has expressed the view that "the police failed to conduct tests to ascertain whether the weapon had been fired in the immediate past ... Compounding this error, the police also failed to conduct chemical tests on Abu-Jamal's hands to find out if he had fired a gun recently."[8] In a 1995 hearing, a defense ballistics expert testified that due to Abu-Jamal's struggle with the police during his arrest, such a test would have been difficult to accomplish and, due to the gunpowder residue possibly being shaken or rubbed off, would not have been scientifically reliable.[26] A note written by coroner Dr. Paul Hoyer, who autopsied Daniel Faulkner, states that he extracted a .44 caliber bullet from Faulkner. This has led to claims that Faulkner was shot by a .44 caliber rather than a .38 caliber weapon. Hoyer admitted in 1995 that this was an "intermediate note" that was not supposed to be published, and that the note had been a "lay guess" based on his own observations, that he was not a firearms expert and that he had not received any training in weapons ballistics
So while it's pretty simple, it's once again a failure of the system to cover all their bases and make the case airtight.
