As someone who has been in union picket lines, I was never paid to be there. It may vary by unions.

Reply to comment by uptown_gargoyle in Best Chicken and Waffles in Philly? by clowncasket
Every time I’ve been there the food is so flavorless and bland. There’s so many great breakfast spots in that area, I have no idea how they got so popular. It’s like going to a Denny’s or something.

If you had to pay to get in nobody would go there

If they are from a union then they are paid. Of course if the work truly is complete then a union would usually move in to another location to protest. Maybe there’s a larger point to be made against the owner of this location that doesn’t make sense to us outsiders.

The silver lining here is that the suspect is wanted.

Reply to comment by ScienceWasLove in Wissahickon Brewery in East Falls may be on the way out due to PECO by PettyAndretti
The article isn't clear regarding ownership. My sense is they have a ground lease and own the building, but not the land underneath.
If owner of the brewery truly owns the land, they could be selling under duress as you suggest. However, their seemingly lack of comment suggests otherwise. Hopefully there's a follow up article with more details.
As for PECO, props to them making improvements proactively verses waiting for a flood. Of course, they're not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, but rather as a good business move, which should also improve reliability.

Reply to comment by Cobey1 in Rebecca Rhynhart is running to be Philly’s 100th mayor – the first female to lead the city by Saint_2022
> She was the managing director at Bear Stearns on the credit derivatives desk... She oversaw the ‘overlending’ of credit for mortgages to people who couldn’t afford to take out those loans during the housing crisis in 08
so was she approving mortgages or managing credit derivatives? i think you're fundamentally misunderstanding both her job and the 2008 financial crisis here

Not sure why the downvotes but you’re right. Businesses should use whatever labor they want…isn’t that capitalism and a free market?

The facts don't matter, just that people click into the article to boost views. That's it.
Many news sites don't even try anymore. For a while it was simply increased number of typos and lack of fact checking. Then it progressed to many articles being little more than a few sentences, if even that with little to no detail all. Now articles often consist of gibberish mashed together that may convey some useful information, but often not.
As for bots, I'd wager they didn't use ChatGPT. It would likely have done a better job.

Reply to comment by Fattom23 in 78-Unit, Mixed-Use Project Approved in Fishtown by ColdJay64
Why is that preferential treatment? It's just letting them keep the parking availability associated with the density of their neighborhoods before someone decided to build apartment buildings after 150 years of nothing but rowhouses. Besides, parking is always the issue that makes people fight development, so take that off the table and it will be way easier to turn rowhouse neignhoods into higher density. Again, if it's really true that apartments don't attract car owners this will be win win for everyone.

Can't go wrong with a spider plant. They're low maintenance and look great.

Reply to CBSD splits with public relations firm over alleged harassment by Risquechilli
Seems like adults are really concerned with what kids are taught these days. Are they really worried that voting habits are going to be shaped by posters in their high school library?
