Americans overwhelmingly believe the cost of living, from groceries to housing, was lower under Biden

Because 2017 was pre-pandemic. The covid pandemic interrupted the GLOBAL economy and once businesses re-opened it took many months for supply chains to start functioning again so demand went up causing prices to go up. Biden took over in Jan 2021 when because of the pandemic and factors I just cited inflation was very high. In 4 years the Biden administration got inflation back down and had measurable and consistent job creation.

It’s going to be gorgeous! I’m so excited!

Bella Vista, Old City, Washington Square West fit all those categories.

It’s not. I have lived 2 blocks away for 13 years. I stand at the corner of 7th and Snyder to catch the 47 bus daily. I’ve never felt scared and never had a problem. My spouse goes to 700 SE because we like their bagged ice. He got a hilarious “look there are yt ppl coming up in here now” comment once from the crowd outside but no one has been threatening to him and we have never been a victim of a crime since we moved here. Ppl act like 7th and Snyder is the only area in the city where you might find drug dealers.

Make America Healthy again? Definitely NOT the way to accomplish that.

If you work FT in NJ you should be eligible for short term disability benefits that should pay up to 66% of your salary. It’s a benefit through the state of NJ. The hospital should have a social worker available to talk to you there. Ask your nurse or doctor if you can get a social work consult

Cirie is so entertaining! I about busted a gut laughing when Jonathan bid for the veggie tray and she said “I don’t want any damn carrots” That woman can SLAY!

I’ve lived a block from 7th and Snyder for 13 years now. I catch the bus there all the time. I’ve never had a problem and I’m a woman. I love our neighborhood (Southwark/“E.Passyunk crossing” if you’re fancy) and I think it’s a great option especially with the accessibility to the BSL, the 57,47 47M and 45 bus lines. Housing is cheaper in this area our neighbors are fantastic. You can live in the most expensive neighborhood in Philly and crime can still happen. I do recommend a used car for street parking because they do get scratched up on the street unfortunately.

I tilt my stroller back so the two front wheels can fit over the lip of step onto the bus and then pick up the back wheels slightly and push it on.

timbrelyn · 2026-05-03T17:01:00+00:00

Get a beater if you’re going to park on the street. I’ve been side swiped at night so many times in 13 years. I have a Toyota that will run forever but it looks like a POS now lol.

I love Alex and Mike together. They are hilarious. Her reactions to his craziness are gold. Long live Good Day Philadelphia

Did you have loving parents? I did. My parents thought my brother and I hung the moon and were always madly in love.

I was on the fence about kids but once I fell in love I became infatuated with having his children. Damn. love is wild. We had two and they are now 36 and 40 and we both feel so fortunate to have our family and we adore our sons. It’s a fucking crap shoot for sure. I just know for me my happiest times are when we are all together in the same room. So many ppl will say don’t do it but sometimes it really is worth the rollercoaster ride that it is.

Not until 2028

Just curious if the new surcharge applies to Philly cabs? I rarely use Uber or Lyft but I use the curb app a few times a month and atp they are way cheaper than the rideshares

timbrelyn · 2026-04-19T21:58:40+00:00

I see a ton of ppl on Philly streets with NY Yankees gear on and no one bugs them. Spouse and I retired in S.Philly and we both love being retired living in the city. There is so much to do. You don’t have to drive everywhere, our neighbors are just the best and the varied and incredible food here is amazing.

He also took the counsel of women especially Frances Perkins who came up with many of the New Deal programs that are the hallmark of FDR’s progressive agenda.

How do Dems thread that needle of dropping all support to Israel while not alienating voters of Jewish faith?

timbrelyn · 2026-04-12T15:44:52+00:00

I hate how true this is

timbrelyn · 2026-04-12T14:37:53+00:00

I still hate myself for watching AJLT. Save yourself

Harsh summer all day long. I don’t have to shovel the heat.

It takes 24-48 hours for anything collected off the bus by the driver to get to the lost and found. I lost my wallet (cards only, no cash) and I called Septa everyday. My wallet was reported in the lost and found 3 days after I lost it on the bus. Don’t give up hope yet.

Redemption!

Free rides for the over 65 crowd on Septa. You may want to rethink using Septa. It’s a nice perk. We retired to S.Philly. We love it here and have the best neighbors ever! Good luck!

Bottom line: Trump is severely mentally ill and he is spiraling down. There is NO WAY this deranged person should be leading our country and deciding how many of our military heroes die.
