Climate Dooooooom theories might work.
Or unreported Solar Flares effect.

This is why Perry keeps getting reelected. 😡

Every day the FBI doesn't trawl the parking lot of one of those "Berks County Patriots" events and carefully monitor every single person going to them, is one day too many.

It just feels like the Klan left a tiny remnant of the Klan in place as a diversion, doing little, so that the real bigots could form a thousand other groups like this...

I've lived in four different states with four cars and residency. All the services were through the DMV, and it was infinitesimally better in every way. This isn't even me having some political bent, or enjoying exaggeration and hyperbole - it was literally better in every way.

But let's suppose separate facilities for separate services is functionally and organizationally better. Then my question is how it's possible that Pennsylvania and Philadelphia are still screwing it up and worst than other states where the organizational structure is - by your own accounts - subpar.

You can say all that about everything but the state safety and emissions inspections. Those are there to make sure your vehicle isn’t a death trap that will kill other people on the road. As far as dmv/tag/notary bs it is bs.

The state government providing the service through one centralized provider at a handful of centralized locations would be way too inefficient, this way is much better.

I've seen them around wilkes barre all of my life. There's a price chopper in Edwardsville (right outside of wb) where they all congregate in the parking lot lol no clue why

I grew up outside of wmspt and we had them every year around this time.

I must be blind or it's not around where I'm at

Fine. It's corrupt. But can't it be corrupt more efficiently?

Take my money but don't take entire weekdays from me.

Welcome to PA.

It is all corruption. These systems have been developed over decades through kickbacks and bribes to make sure as many people as possible get their hands in your pocket. People from here that have never lived outside of PA and still live a few miles from where they were born think this is all normal and OK. I'm sure they will be along shortly to tell me how wrong I am.

Exactly!

Landfills, ample food sources, etc. Seagulls don't necessarily need to live at the beach.

Its not uncommon in the winter.

Lawrence County opens the door, and waves. (I hate this place, all of PA actually)

Just because the media you listen to doesn't think white supremacy is a problem doesn't mean it's not happening.

Anyone can read the evidence and anyone who has been to central PA has seen and experienced it.

Last year I saw some people at a McDonald's throw French fries out of their car window to a lone seagull, and I just wanted to scream "you idiots!" because in about 10 seconds there was probably a hundred of them. It was like a horror movie.

Lighten up, it’s a joke. Don’t take everything so serious

Fuck. I’m from Franklin County

There have always been seagulls

I think it's because of PA's large number of landfills. We import a lot of trash from NY and Jersey.

While I'm sure exceptions exist, it does seem that some environments do better at cultivating/promoting certain outlooks on life.
