Only have briefly talked about it. She likes the land, being close to Hershey, Lancaster, etc. She will be a nurse so being close to York and Baltimore should be sufficient

I get what you’re saying. You’re right. However I drive a newer car, and not having a commute to work will theoretically lessen repair needs

Reply to Could a 4-Day, 32-Hour Work Week Come to Pennsylvania? These 3 Democrats Are Working On It by Open_Veins_8
People are currently working 50+ on a 40-hour schedule, and paid as if they worked something like 25.
Best case, they set it to 32, we end up working 45 and get paid like we worked 20...
Until the minimum wage goes up, nothing's going to make much difference. And even then, until and unless the Exemption threshold is both raised AND actually enforced, salaried workers will still continue being effectively 24/7 on-call slaves at whatever rate the owners think is good enough.
It's an idea whose time has long come. Unfortunately, it's putting the cart before the horse. Perhaps that's why the Oligarchs allow it to be considered. They know they can adapt to it and end up squeezing workers even harder in the bargain, somehow.

I'm happy I went there, but I will never donate to the school. And I'm not gonna try to convince people to go there

As MD should, I see cars with busted shocks and bald tires all the time. Like suspension so messed up the thing will be twerking all over the highway. Like how TF do you think it's acceptable to drive 60-90 mph on a 3-5 lane freeway and your car is bouncing like it's at the club? Assholes.

I work for an extension of the state and the day the state itself enacts this for its employees will be a cold day in hell.

You can't even afford to live alone with full time wages being so shit. No one is being lazy.

Wealthy interests own the PA legislature and will until the voters care about honest government. Nothing will change without that.

Is it? It's not free. You need to pay for whatever repairs they say you need.

You have a point, it could be read more than one way. Author may have added "so called" on the basis that no one actually is teaching CRT in k-12 and calling it out as BS. On second thought, it's ambiguous.

Here's the co-sponsorship memo. There's no bill, so we don't know the details. But my concern is that a tax credit doesn't help employees at tax exempt orgs.
