Basically, they've taken all the coal from the ground, and the union people crawled away.

Every child had a pretty good shot to get at least as far as their old man got. But something happened on the way to that place. They threw an American flag in our face

Do you mind elaborating? Like are they rezoning and people are losing jobs which is why it's hard to stay? I would have a job moving there. Finance would leave her current job and look for something new.

They're closing all the factories down. Out in Bethlehem they're killing time filling out forms, standing in line. It’s getting very hard to stay.

It's a kid doing something stupid. I was a kid and I've done something stupid, as I bet you did. What she wasn't doing was giving permission for this to happen.

Released on unsecured bond… nice

That's fair. I know I see them all the time in r/buckscounty .

If you don’t get answers here, post in r/lehighvalley. But I would also search first, because this gets asked constantly in these.

Philly stopped having any benefits around 1812

Perhaps he was just going back there to get a Shmuffin.

If you guys want to have “mah freedum” that’s fine but you need to understand there is no such thing as the “right to be liked” or the “right to be popular.” I’m just getting tired of conservative shitheads constantly crying that people don’t like them or think they are dumb.

Yeah definitely wasn't expecting to see Lansford on CNN...

They can run their own lives as they see fit. The problem is they want to run everyone else's life, too.

The difference you are missing is he will be prosecuted. If he was a republican, he would be a contender for next scotus nominee.

Never thought about that .. Fuck.

True, but there could be a greater sense of separation between the representatives from Philly itself and the surrounding communities that have been by and large enveloped by Philly.

But I'm from the western edge of the state. We're pretty resigned, generally speaking, to being essentially either ruled by Philly or ignored in favor of Philly.

> Philadelphia maintains a higher level of representation in PA's state government than any other city.

It would be asinine for Philadelphia and Lancaster to have the same amount of representation
