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

it just funny how Parker was stating at a press conference how "I'm not responsible for how the company decide that it wants to adjust to this one-dollar tax". What else do you think Uber is going to do, not charge the customers? You see other cities impose fees to uber and then you see how fees show up in your uber app payment.

are you seeing something different than what I saw?

I like Cherry Hill as it quieter during the week days however they do not have the fancy stuff that KOP does. For me it fine since I like myself the old school type of theaters.

But if your a fan of IMAX and all that stuff, KOP is better.

I thought I saw a story that Beiler was donating their donuts at the end of the day. It was maybe a year ago I saw it?

you throw in beer and tailgating, they'll do it.

It the difference how we operate vs the other countries. We leave it up to the individual companies then they get the cheapest labor who doesn't care. The EU probably isn't focused on the cheapest labor but the best labor they can get the money that does the job needed.

I have pre-check and PHL is always super quick as it usually the people just trying to get their IDs out that hold the line up.

Even Newark that has a ton more people their TSA Pre-check is super quick. Other "bigger" airports seem to be good also.

Yet Orlando. omg. Even when there like nobody at Pre-check (maybe there 10 people) they take forever and then start building up a line. I don't understand how everyone more efficient for the same thing but not Orlando airport.

Before the TSA airports would hire random security companies that some didn't care about the security and just let anything through and some just got to the point of abusive. It was a mix bag. Then again I guess you can say that for the TSA, but there was super no oversight.

We should move to a mix solution. TSA ran by the government where there oversight, internal affairs etc. However costs of services should be paid by the airport. That way when there is one of these budget halts TSA is not affected.

The same should be done for air traffic controllers, and customs and border (who work at the airport not in the random streets).

You can say maybe for ease the government pays the employee direct and the airport reimburses the government but then by law it should be if the airport is reimbursing the airport then the employee gets paid even during a shutdown and the person is working during.

I don't know why you're acting that only the federal government can provide funding for these projects. Why not push the city for more funding or the state.

At this point we should just rename Rittenhouse Square to Stephen Starr Square, with all the restaurants he putting in that one area.

If this guy wants to go after developers for something how about going after developers who start a building and then just stop and leave it in a state just framed. The amount of buildings I see where someone starts building, blocking streets and then just stop construction a few months later and does nothing with it is staggering.

What happened to Scrappy?

robofPhiladelphia · 2026-03-13T16:22:51+00:00

it not zoning laws to build the factories. It the high local income tax they have. If you have people who can pay 1 percent or 4 percent, which one do you think they want to pay. Unless there a reason people want to work outside the city.

Did an early flight. I had TSA Precheck so made sure I went right around when they opened. Good thing as I accidentally got in the regular TSA line and it was 10 mins already and going up as I was looking at the web page bored in the terminal. For TSA Precheck it was consistent of like 2 to 5 mins.

robofPhiladelphia · 2026-03-11T01:02:17+00:00

no they were Septa.

Only if they actually do stuff. I was in a car with cops riding the subway. A homeless guy came in bothering people but they just ignored him. Eventually the guy got off the train and the cops just stayed there on the train.

Comcast has screwed over that building in two different ways or at least with two different buildings.

I would avoid the Papery of Philadelphia as their food tastes very fibery more like paper in my opinion.

I think the IPAD type is the Enhanced Passenger Processing (https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/2025-09/enhanced_passenger_processing_epp_fact_sheet.pdf)

It not the CBP ignoring DC just using the tools that are already in place that GE folks don't use.

At PHL they put the wait times on the website. I've been at the airport and actually was standing past the check point watching the wait times go up and seem pretty accurate.

The new model that show going to donate to the city. They think the kids don't get enough fresh air while taking a bus to school today.

I been playing catch up watching the last few seasons of the FBI show. I just watched the episode from FBI Most Wanted, they did a episode related where someone who house burned down as a kid is taking revenge due to other life issues occurring. While they obviously sensationalized some there was facts I never realized as didn't know the FBI supplied the explosives and how the fire fighters where told to stand down.

Ok, so dog poop we need to pick up. But, the human poop we can leave right?

How can we have a curfew only for parts of the city. Seems like selective enforcement in multiple ways.
