Protecting human rights is a job of our elected officials, yes.

The article states that businesses that generate a certain amount of trash must pay for a private company to collect their trash, and that the city does not do it for them.

Hmm. I doubt that a few additional trucks would make that big of a difference to anything in Philly or really anywhere in America. I also think that maybe then the org should just go into lobbying, if it's really just about holding the city accountable. There is a creative solution here that involves not having the contracts of city (& tax payer funded) unionized workers' contracts violated, whilst also not creating a culture war of for-profit private organizations pitted against the city government.

A lot of the trash on the streets is just trash that fell out of (non standardized sized) trash cans during trash collection.

Why doesn't glitter just develop a part of the program where it picks up the trash bags at the end of each day to haul directly to the dump? I understand why the union has issues with the union members handling trash outside of its agreed-upon terms and conditions. So glitter could just get a pick-up truck and go around and grab the trash from designated areas itself, eh?

Seriously. I see cops sitting around on their asses in their cars in South Philly low-income housing all the damn time, even when nothing is happening at all. They should be out on Oregon avenue instead, checking for people running through red lights and pulling illegal turns.

He passed out lollipops sometimes lol. He kinda stresses me out with his aggressive niceness tho heh

Looking like Allie brosch!

Thanks! Yeah I got inspired to do it this year because I remembered that my dad always took us trick or treating and that I was going to miss him being the "candy burglar" (holding our bags of candy for us when our arms got tired) and decided I have no reason to be a grumpy child-free millennial anymore lol. I appreciate your words.

Awwww this is so sad, hope you get some this year!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Tough lady ;)

Yeah wasn't sure also I seem to remember it changing during COVID

Seems to be par for the course for Philly.

Sorry, my dad died last week and I've been really consumed with taking care of him as he died and also the affairs that surround the death of someone without a will. I didn't have a sheltered youth, I'm not sure why you are attacking me.

Ooo ooo I want a pumpkin!

Thanks

Cool thanks
