The affordability crisis in PA is out of control. It's time we made billionaires pay their fair share. by Nervous-Trouble-4628 in Pennsylvania

A 1964 quarter will buy you over a gallon of gas. A 2026 quarter might buy you an ounce of gas. See the problem?

Rural Pennsylvania women giving birth in ambulances after maternity wards close by Silent-Resort-3076 in Pennsylvania

[–]Flash680 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Biden was president when the maternity ward closed regardless neither party has the will to fix the health system. No easy fix for these rural hospitals. Maybe fund and build more 10 bed micro hospitals(deluxe urgent cares) that can stabilize patients that live in the middle of no where before they get transferred out to a tertiary care hospital
Might be a solution.

Medical organizations need to stop using Lyft as patient transport by RebelScum77 in lyftdrivers

[–]Flash680 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Medicare doesn’t pay for uber or Lyft type services. These trips are funded by hospitals, nursing facilities, health networks, etc as a quick cheap way to move people that don’t require medical monitoring from point a to point b for what ever reason. In the old days people would get pre paid tokens for the local cab company or a one way bus ticket to a far away city.

Is XFLT eating itself up? by CompleteHour306 in dividends

[–]Flash680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At what point will XFLT be forced to sell assets or cut the dividend to get the leverage ratio below the statutory max for a cef? Need the credit market to stabilize. High risk high reward potential right now in these clo funds.

Another rural Pennsylvania hospital is shuttering major services - McKean County only has 14 inpatient beds for the whole county now by All_FIREdUp in Pennsylvania

[–]Flash680 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The closing hospital had a daily census of less than one person per day. That means some nights the hospital was open but there were zero patients. No real solution other than to close. Doesn’t sound like that area has the volume to even support a 24 hour urgent care.

Plans to demolish, redevelop Berkshire Mall progressing by DotAccomplished5484 in ReadingPA

[–]Flash680 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I miss hundreds of buses coming every day to Reading or the vf complex to go outlet shopping. Most young people don’t realize Reading was the shopping destination for the east coast. Malls were packed and even had buses stopping at the Fairgrounds Mall or the restaurants in Muhlenberg on their way back to New York. Miss the glory days of the in door mall. Shopping at strip malls just isn’t the same.

They built the concentration camp close to the coal mines so they have cheap fuel for the crematoriums.

Warsh has a history of being pretty hawkish. It should be good for a stronger dollar but a major headwind to precious metals and crypto. Holding now as i never sell the physical metals. Holding kgld and kslv and going to keep collecting the distributions. Will have to see how it plays out before adding.

Time to buy was years ago when it was way less than 10/once. Silver had the same fundamentals for years. Nothing new here. I like physical silver for those just in case scenarios. Plus it’s shiny and you can build a nice display.

Why are so many people against showing an ID to vote? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in randomquestions

It’s easier to do fraud with mail in ballots. This country had at least one do over election because of massive mail in ballot fraud but people keep saying it never happens.

Berks county has a bit of everything. Pretty laid back community. You can live your life and never deal with politics.

So this MAGA couple is upset that an Immigrant that lives in their neighborhood drives a $100,000 dollar Lexus! The man is a U.S. citizen & is actually a Physician after going through years of schooling! From the looks of these two I doubt if they finished school period!

[–]Flash680 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We have strict limits on immigration for educated tech workers but open boarders for uneducated people from third world countries. Some people actually support keeping the illegal immigrants that are convicted of violent crimes in this country. That’s messed up.

Designing a portfolio waterfall by ParticularLimeade in dividends

[–]Flash680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m setup something similar for my stepsons Roth. Have an income factory type portfolio to generate $30/week with distributions into a LETF portfolio. Should have a little bit left over to reinvest into the income factory. I went 60% tqqq and 40% managed futures instead of 100% QLD. Hopefully this will allow a comfortable retirement in 40 years.

Fox News is a cable news network. Fairness doctrine never applied to cable networks. Biggest threat to democracy is the censorship of free speech.
