5 hours is jumping on 80 and driving at speed limit. PA is a really big state. if you just run 80 border to border its like 300+ miles. if you are running back roads its going to take you a lot longer.

​

PA has 67 counties... a road trip to hit them all would be a week + of drive time

Oh no.... anyway....

Clearly they did not...

I'm assuming you'll be sitting in traffic for hours, maybe wait til Sat

Yes?

Haven't they been closing all the stores that unionize?

May want to check in advance and make sure they are open as well, sometimes they get closed, or cross into game lands which are often closed

it was a joke

I would like to counter with... who?

​

you mean our river? what if it was bigger? I assume Easton would flood again...

yeah, barring ownership of a legal to own item that is fully on your property is just crazy. if it was on the street or public property, totally different story.

this is insane - its on private property, (your driveway), why would you need to have it inspected, or registered?

​

That is absolutely an ordinance that nobody has fought yet, they will absolutely lose that battle without a doubt in court

your realize how silly that argument is right? the ONLY reason the Senate was Democrat is because a R wanted to make a statement and switched his party affiliation resulting in tie... he wasn't a democrat and didn't vote like one.

​

The last time Democrats held an actual majority was 1979, and they only held it during the 70's,

​

Democrats have only actually controlled the senate for 10 years in the states history

Senate was tied in 93, because some dude "switched parties"

I mean, if the shoe fits? but I'm not sure how that is specifically relevant

Which part? Pa congress control has been republican for 40 years+

Not just fracking, logging, oil, mining, etc all have no severance tax :(

Its a US problem, not 3 mile specifically. the US has built 1 new Nuclear plant in this century. We've literally only built 2 in the last 40 years...

​

"but what about 3 mile island, Fukushima, and Chernobyl!" ... that is a near miss, a failure of insane stupidity caused by poor training, and a tidal wave 46 FEET high caused by a magnitude 9 earthquake (the 4th strongest quake EVER). Nuclear power is incredibly safe, and historically always has been... fossil fuels are the absolute opposite. their pollution kills millions a year, their environmental destruction is massive, and they are unsafe

​

Who remembers the Kingston Power Plant disaster? nobody? it was only 14 years ago! - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_Fossil_Plant_coal_fly_ash_slurry_spill

​

What about the Connecticut Power Plant explosion that killed 5 people?... no? it was 8 years ago! - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Connecticut_power_plant_explosion

​

What about the ConEdison Powerplant explosion in NY? Luckily nobody died... but that was just due to a Cat 1 Hurricane

​

and those are only ones specifically AT power plants in the last 15 years, in the US... lol

the price will go up forever to pay for this... because why not just make them pay more for any excuse possible?

First, the well EXPLODED on 1/1/2009 according to the article... so not sure how Obama is involved here? He wasn't president until 3 weeks AFTER the well had already exploded. so thank Bush for this.

​

As for Obama's ruling, the problem here is first, "potentially carcinogenic". as far as I know the actual recipe of what they use to frack with isn't fully known to the public and there isn't a single combination used, in this case it had nothing at all to do with the material used, and is just fracking in general, they hit a methane pocket and opened it up,

and second: Obama's rulings were the first time companies HAD to disclose what was in their fluid and there HAS been a set standard of what needs to happen with fracking fluids (thanks to Obama btw)... until Trump removed them

https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/05/us/new-fracking-rule-is-issued-by-obama-administration.html

​

also... https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/366704-trump-to-repeal-obama-fracking-rule/

​

So basically, Obama is in no way related to this story, since it happened before him, Bush owns this, and he DID try adding restrictions to the fracking industry, Trump removed them

40 years of Republican leadership...

Work life balance and coworkers would normally be huge... but at this point I would say "which is more likely to not lay anyone off in the next 2 - 5 years" and go with that one

Is that all you want lol

​

you need to just go visit it for a week to find a location you would like to stay. your requirements are all over the place "I want rural, but urban, with a small feel like Morris County, but also be racially diverse, I want cheap, but no roomates, I want WiFi... I assume you mean high speed internet, and I want it to be a metro area with not boring roads...

​

you really just need to go and visit some areas before trying to settle down.

Gotcha, I don't hunt that portion of the state so don't pay to much attention to it. Good to know

a 6 pointer isn't a legal buck in 1/3 the state... https://sharedeer.org/1607/your-complete-guide-to-the-2019-pa-deer-rifle-season/

those windows are basically the same as just having no window at all. Invest in heavy insulated curtains and electric baseboards right below?

​

it also sounds like you really need to find a different heat source... electric heat primarily works by blocking cold air from coming in (which is why they are always under windows).

​

Sorry you are getting screwed... I don't know what options you have other then broiler/natural gas... but those are going to be expensive as well with those winodws
