I had reschedule my jury duty when I had a 12 week old - it allowed me to pick a date of my choosing 3 months in the future. Still had to find childcare and Uber there so I was old of pocket for those expenses.

there are a ton of medical schools in philly. What does that medical landscape look like there? in western PA, it's easy -- you have UPMC, Highmark Blue Cross/Allegheny Health Network, and a few smaller independents and smaller networks, but AHN and UPMC have a duopoly mainly.

this was a state case under state non-profit rules.

The IRS rules on federal non-profit status afaik.

Depends on what the judge says. If the judge feels they purposefully misrepresented their non profit status for x number of years I'm wondering if there is a way taxing bodies can ask for back taxes?

>So, if a guy bops a babe's boob or pats her butt, she has to provide evidence? How does she do that?

That was my question to you. To which you responded with whining. Sometimes, when there are multiple women making similar accusations, see, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, you have to believe the accusers.

Was this for federal or county? I live in Montco and didn’t have any issues getting out of county jury duty! But this is federal court and it’s an hour by train each way for me!

The Philly Inqurier has had a lot of articles on tower healths expansion and current financial woes. They were looking to make a play against a mainline health and Penn Medicine. They overpaid for the hospitals they bought from community health. Then they bought a bunch of urgent cares. Then the lost too much revenue from COVID for elective procedures. They fired that CEO (his bonus was tied to revenue I believe) and have been trying to offload the hospitals they don’t see as being their core. Currently their core is reading hospital, Phoenixville and Pottstown.

Having previously worked there I can say a former CEO was by far the route of many of these problems in my opinion. They implemented policies, and hired many like minded high level employees that benefitted from these policies. It was always about how it benefited the top. He then took a golden parachute an complained that it wasn’t enough as he walked off rich and the health system he robbed blind was burning.

‘I’m nursing a newborn and the baby doesn’t take a bottle yet. Can I put this off 6 months?‘

Jury duty is a crock of bullshit lie on the questionnaire they give you i have never and will never do jury do fuck that

They gave you a cold response to real questions. Imma guess you do not have a pump. Which means you cannot pump in their pump room. You should not have to use one of theirs (yuck) or go out an buy something that jury duty pay does not even cover.

If you have an email address for them, tell them flat out: new infant (I'd skip the 12-w.o. part), no daycare/sitter, no pump, no availability, please push me back 3 years. Keep it that simple.

Duly noted. Thanks man.

So, what would you propose? Any time someone makes an allegation that they were inappropriately touched that the accused should be presumed guilty and immediately lose their position? be arrested? That's just complete nonxense.

Can "back bills" for RE taxes be sent out? Not sure that is how it works.

Taxing authorities generally get one chance to send out their RE bills and the taxpayer gets one chance with a limited time period to appeal that bill. Believe that is what was done here, with no reach onto other properties.

Why would you want to be selected

I was selected for jury duty in Philly when my kid was a few months old. I called the number on the form and said I was a new father. They excused me and removed me from the list for a year no questions asked. I'm not sure if I got this treatment because it was during the pandemic, because I called, or just luck. Either way, it might be worth calling.

Yes! I have a 13 week old (I also live in Philly), and I ended up calling. The woman told me that I’m excused for a year now.

I would never put a baby on a jury

I had to do this last summer, I'm a live-in caretaker for grandparents, neither of which would really have been able to be brought in to sit in a courtroom for however long waiting. Fortunately I got excused over the phone, but the clerk was like, "We'll try again next year then."

Like... thanks, lady, for hoping my grandparents are dead the next go-round!

>Been saying for years

Same.

Have to wonder if BC/BS, Highmark, Humana, etc., are now looking at the impact of executive salaries on their "non-profit" status.

Philly traffic is not just inside the City limits. There's quite a bit of traffic out where you suggest OP go. 202 around West Chester, Goshen and up to Exton is about as ugly as any place except maybe Rt. 1 west of Philly. And traffic there is a bumper-to-bumper race from one traffic light to the next.

I wasn’t trying to get out of it, but I was once asked if I knew anyone who had been sexually assaulted and I said that I know more than 6 women, so yeah, I did.

Got kicked right to civil trials for that one, where they put me on a jury there (which I was fine with, as my work has paid leave for jury duty).

my tbi will keep me from ever having to be on a jury 🤙🏼
