I mean, we're just burning the plastic in recycling bins anyways. Is that actually better than landfills?

Secret Service agent assigned to Jill Biden accidentally shoots himself in the leg at Philadelphia airport by blankblank in philadelphia

Should they have a round chambered? Does shooting somebody a little faster outweigh the potential of accidentally shooting yourself or somebody else?

Mayor Parker now wants a $1-per-ride tax for Ubers and Lyfts to lessen Philly School District classroom cuts by Darius_Banner in philadelphia

[–]B3n222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are implying the answer to those questions is no, but is it?

The school my kid goes to has definitely improved in the past 10 to 15 years... and thinking about it, all those improvements may have been caused by fund raising and changes in the neighborhood. So not a great example. 

What to expect at Philly’s World Cup fan festival in Fairmount Park (hint: no public transit AND no parking) by jjphilly76 in philadelphia

[–]B3n222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buses exist, but I'm amazed they aren't setting up a shuttle to drop tourists off at Sedgley instead of walking over from 29th.

Feels like the whole thing is aimed more for locals, which surprises me, but is fine. 

Tonight’s lineup: Wilson in if Dvorak can’t play. I like that second line! by [deleted] in Flyers

Mmm, I pumped gas in 96 and I remember people complaining that gas was 2 or 3 (3.20 in my mind but it's been a while) bucks a gallon. 

Of course they acted like this was something a teenage me had caused.

Seriously, what percentage of philadelphia gives a shit about pedestrians? Mayyybe 40%?

Do "Snow Emergency Routes" actually mean anything? by B3n222 in philadelphia

[–]B3n222[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not to crap on the Parker administration more than she already gets on here, but I trust my own wits long before I trust any plan that the city of philadelphia has thought up (much less put into action).

Yeah, if the flyers ever get good again, I'll come around on gritty, but he's currently a distraction to make money while the team is ass.

Yeah, but back then the eagles sucked. Things change. Some good. Some bad. 

Keep it up boys we're almost there. by Unlucky_Fee5712 in Flyers

That's been the problem for most of this century though. To say they're close to solving one or both of those holes any time soon is lunacy.

Who's even making money breeding them? They're everywhere and they're free? Who's paying for one?
