Can you tell me exactly where you think the pay for the legislative body comes from?
 
This is a perfect Facebook Grandpa post. Short on numbers, long on ranting and feels.

This is so fucking stupid

Damn that is some shit right there. They really do screw people over in every state.

I wasn't talking about the state budget, I was referring to the actual legislative body, our representatives, who make the laws. Next to New York, we have the largest, most expensive legislature in the nation.

For how large and costly they are, with their exceptionally high salaries, with their numerous assistants, and their assistants assistants, and their personal expenditures which they fight tooth and nail against disclosing publicly, they really get precious little done.

I can think of way more drunk kids that fell off of stuff and died than people going crazy on mushrooms

Considering the guy was just moving pot and mushrooms I’d be surprised too

Glad someone got it lol

No health system should go without protection. Time for them to belly up.

There are basic protections that many orgs are not putting into place because 1) not enough IT folks specialize in it, and 2) orgs are unwilling to pay the cost of installation/upgrades.

The patient has filed suit...

Issue across the country. Being blamed on easy access thru tele-health.

It runs too close to home for most of the inbred shit that elected this school board. Uncle MAGA doesn't want his niece to realize what he's doing is a crime.

McCormick would be a much better candidate for the party that worships rittenhouse than is MastriaNO. The risk with having McCormick carry the GQP banner is that he could beat Casey. No such worries with MastiraNO because we will again give him a good spanking at the polls.

>Central York SD was not using it in curriculum, which is for the best, but it was in the high school library until this ban was initiated by a complaint. It should be reinstated, although a content warning provided with it would be appropriate, as arguably would restrictions if parents want to impose them on their own child's library account. But removing it from the library altogether is absurd.

Totally agree.

The complainers, who often do not have kids at the high school, seek to restrict what the kids of other parents can read. Let the kids at the high school make the decision to read or not to read, not these fake ass control freak complainers.

It is in the Bible. See, Lot.

When heavy industry shut down the people moved on. The cities and towns were left to there own devices which if one watches the evening news or reads a newspaper they will see the effects. Granted some places in Pa are reinventing but it sure aint happening in the Pittsburgh area. We do have a pretty top notch medical industry but that seems to be it.

Jesus. this is funny.

"Push" a novel about a young teen who was failed by the education system, abused by her family is banned from a high school for ... "not meeting the standards of developmental appropriateness"

yeah, I guess 16 year olds can't read about a woman being abused by her family... what age range is "developmentally appropriate" to learn that other people get abused? Do teenagers have to read children's novels until they turn 18.

"shush shush honey, I know tomorrow you are turning 18 tomorrow but I can't let you read about anything bad in this world... that is why we banned talking about war, slavery, native desolation, the holocaust(which we both know is fake).... anyway, good luck on giving birth to your second child"

Fucking snowflakes

You’re/they’re asking for donations to have new school board candidates brought in?

Maybe just fire the clowns that don’t want to educate the youth properly.

How do people think you learn what good and bad is, or what you like and don’t like, if you don’t learn what something is.

Berks is generally great

Context: the book most in question is Push by Sapphire, from which comes the Oscar-winning movie "Precious".

I read it this week. It's disturbing and explicit in parts, and uses a lot of profanity. It's also deeply empathetic, skillful, artistically necessary and in its own way, therapeutic.

It meets none of the traditional tests for obscenity and has been lauded over the years for a reason - it's unflinchingly honest and very effective at letting survivors of abuse know they are recognized, they are not alone and there is hope for them.

I moved here from California and I was genuinely confused when I saw all of the taxes taken out of my paycheck. On top of that, the gas tax may be lower than CA, but that doesn't do much for me when I have to drive an extra hour or two just to avoid the stupidly high cost toll roads.

Good to know, thanks!

Who is watching these shithole videos

I hope it will be a hot one, but we may see some places dealing with draught because of the lack of snow.... at least here in NW PA.

Ya, but we like to complain about it like it's the first time ever! Lol
