this is the only city I know where it’s standard to thank the driver when you are getting off - I always do because they are awesome.

Lol I will say I miss the Nutter sense of humor.

I don’t remember Nutter being “a bogeyman to the left?” seems like some revisionist history.

morons

How are we still talking about a “looming recession?” Unemployment still low, gas prices down, inflation moderating, GDP growing at a steady clip. Never seen anything loom for so long…and never get here. Except maybe the scary caravan of 2020.

Lol they were all from Montco but it’s all about Philly crime.

All the games cafes! Thirsty Dice, Queen and Rook

And omg the massages are incredible. These tiny women will wring out every muscle in your body. Super clean. Don’t know about getting there by public transport?

On the issue, yes. Individually, they can get your case unstuck with the UI system. Our state senator did this for us twice during the recession. Constituent service.

Call your elected officials: state rep, state senator, congressperson - this is the kind of thing they can really help with.

3.79% actually

More money than sense, I guess.

This is a horrible idea. Dog fights, dog poop, barking at all hours…neighbors are gonna love it.

That’s a bit of an exaggeration. Lived on Ave B by the park in the early 90s (right after they reopened the park) and it wasn’t Disneyland but it was a great neighborhood.

Took my mom to vote today, it was busy! Get out and vote!

For one thing our public schools aren’t paying their teachers in scrip so they can sponge off welfare benefits because they have this thing called a public sector union.

I don’t get overly worked up about the ATVs but people who fight dogs should burn in hell

Alfie Williams, a longtime Philadelphia police officer, answered the front door of his Bucks County home with a navy blue 15th District T-shirt stretched snug across his burly chest.

Since June 10, Williams has been on a weekly list, shared between the Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office, of cops who are unavailable for duty, with what he described as a torn rotator cuff from “lifting a 500-pound dead body.” Williams told a reporter that he could no longer raise his left arm more than two inches because of the injury.

Thanks to Pennsylvania’s Heart and Lung Act, a disability benefit meant mostly for police and firefighters, Williams gets 100% of his $78,092 salary and isn’t required to pay state or federal taxes on it, at least a 20% raise. A Police Department directive, however, prohibits officers who are out with Heart and Lung claims from working any other job in any capacity.

In Williams’ driveway sat a bright blue and white pickup truck, covered with logos and slogans for Exterior Solutions Roofing and Siding. On LinkedIn, Williams has a photo of himself in his police uniform, with the words “Business Owner at Exterior Solutions, LLC.”

You’re telling on yourself, friend. Let the adults talk now.

So everyone understands, you think it’s “dishonest” to be a Democrat and to believe January 6th was a violent attempt to overthrow a free and fair election by force, but we should definitely listen to your opinions, which are not at all dishonest. But mostly I’m worried by your interest in splooting squirrels. Are you getting help for that?

It’s not true the DA isn’t prosecuting. He’s not eager to convict without this thing called “due process” and “evidence.” This requires that the police do their job in the thoughtful and professional way we expect in a democracy, not just be a bunch of taxpayer-funded thugs knocking heads and racking up arrest numbers with impunity. There are a number of cops who feel this isn’t their job, but they are mistaken.

There are over 500 out on fake “injuries” so maybe don’t include them.

So much density 🙄

Yeah, 🙄 and maybe the police have an interest is pointing fingers away from their own incompetence
