Let's just assume I'm right and that I see 2 fare jumpers per day. That's 10 a week, or about 520 per year. That's more than a sixth of the quoted number that one person is witnessing at one station in a small window of time. Admittedly, I'm primarily travelling during rush hour when there are more people travelling, and probably more fare jumps are happening during that time, but I just don't see any possible way the quoted number is close to accurate. It wouldn't shock me at all if the real number was 100x higher.

There's no way the number of fare jumps is that low. I see multiple on a daily basis, and it's not like I'm camping out there watching. This is just what I observe in the few seconds I'm near the turnstiles.

It’s not just Philly. The CVS near my mom’s house out in cow country is the same.

You'd have tow trucks taking the plates off of parked cars just to be able to tow them.

1st degree murder, 2nd degree murder, etc.

It’s not even a slap on the wrist. It’s paying back the original amount owed, years later, without interest. It’s more like a gentle wrist massage.

Randazo’s is good too. Randazo’s has better sauce, Lazaro’s better crust.

Realtors certainly do

Best boss I ever had

You didn’t “abandon” your car, you abandoned it. Your car wasn’t street legal and was parked on the street for months. That’s abandoned.

Parc has been in violation of the existing sidewalk rules forever. They’re required to keep the greater of half the width of the sidewalk, or 6 feet completely clear for pedestrian traffic. They don’t come close to leaving that much space open.

We have bins with lids. The workers use them as frisbees, or straight up refuse to collect when people use the lids. I stopped using the lid because I got tired of chasing it. My bin is falling apart because the workers just throw it in the street and it’s been hit by cars more than once.

And how does that contradict anything I said?

It depends on the state on if it legally counts, but practically, getting someone’s submitted ballot cancelled before it’s counted in the short window between when ballots go out and Election Day is impractical. So, yes, dead people do vote, but in meaningless numbers.

Should mail-in ballots of people who die between mailing the ballot and Election Day count? Your parents have terrible choice in politicians, but as long as they’re only voting in one election, it’s 100% ethical. Every year there are going to be thousands of weird situations like this, in the end, they amount to rounding errors. Now if Fetterman loses by one vote, you are hereby forbidden to ever speak to them again.
