Hmm. Interesting. In what ways do you think we overreacted?

We overreacted to a disease that killed over a million Americans and is the leading cause of death that isn't heart disease or cancer for three years running? News to me.

I've worked downtown for twelve years. It's fine. I've never felt at risk down there, and prior to the pandemic I spent a lot of time after work there.

Saying "no" really isn't that hard, people on this sub act like they're being violated when a panhandler speaks to them.

"I don't want no foreign substances in my body," says man who regularly eats 3000 calories at Texas Roadhouse.

"When everywhere else is uninhabitable, Erie will finally have it's day in the sun."

> It’s not like industry “leaders” initially admitted it alters your DNA

lol no they didn't. Quit reading conspiracy theory websites.

If you live in Pennsylvania you had to get ~16 different vaccinations to enter primary school. No one made a big deal about that because your masters didn't tell you to get mad about it.

Nobody's editing your genes, genius.

Well then!

What I'm getting from this is that the great majority of Pennsylvanians live in urbanized areas.

3.4 million Pennsylvanians, out of 12.96m, live in rural areas according to that link you posted and then deleted. That means that 73.7% of Pennsylvanians, the great majority of the state, live in urbanized areas.

Insulin is produced by gene-edited bacteria and has been since the early 1980s.

He spent around $50K on a Nissan, so he's already failed the intelligence test.

Wait until you hear how insulin is mass produced!

The great majority of Pennsylvanians live in urbanized areas. The only reason it seems like it's turning into Kentucky is because the people who are making that happen are incredibly loud for their limited numbers.

Always fun to see people act like Pennsylvania is some kind of backwater state, when it's the sixth most populous state in the country with the sixth largest economy.

Columbus is basically a bunch of shitty suburbs stitched together into a "city" and it should be illegal to recommend that people move there.

There was a cop in Pittsburgh that pistolwhipped and shot some random that he thought mouthed off to him after leaving a bar. No charges, wasn't fired, took nearly twenty years of repeated incidents to get rid of the guy.

They wield the real power in our cities and they're quite open about how untouchable they are.

The company that owned the Boardwalk cut it loose and let it float down river. It eventually ran aground near Cincinnati.

I work for UPMC on the insurance services side and the insurance is pretty good, they cover an incredibly expensive injectable my wife takes for a chronic disease. I've got no complaints.
 
In general health insurers cover what the policy holder asks them to cover. If your insurance doesn't cover much, you can talk to your HR department about it because they set the terms.

Which is ironic because those "democrat cities" are where most of the economy is. Philadelphia + the collar counties have a larger economy than every rural county in this state combined.

Instead, we're spending $1.3b to add eight miles to the Mon-Fayette expressway, a highway to nowhere serving nobody that was planned out in the early eighties. What a fuckin' disgrace.

I've got an 1800 square foot 110 year old house and I pay $128 a month. Are people keeping their houses at 75 F all winter? Just put a sweater on and run it at 67 F.

It gives you some leeway to put money aside for when they true up. I live in a 110 year old house, 1800sf, and I've never got a shock bill in May when Columbia trues up.

You can also find an open letter from the CEO of Exxon to Joe Biden basically saying that they're never expanding refinery capacity unless the federal government pays to build it for them.

 
The company that owns Eggland's Best, Land o' Lakes, and a bunch of other companies is jacking up egg prices despite not being affected by avian flu, because they can.

 

It really isn't good that we have companies that can essentially punish the electorate for voting in politicians they don't like. Someone should really do something about that.

Southwest Airlines spent billions of dollars on stock buybacks instead of repairing their shitty scheduling software, and were just flat out given around $9b in pandemic "relief."

 
These companies exist as vampires on society.
