Teachers work 9 months of the year.

If teachers were paid by how high their students scored on tests then those "teachers" would be living on the streets. If you cannot do what the government pays you to do (you know, educate!) then either A) you are incompetent or (more likely) B) you are forced to teach bullshit pushed by government. I don't blame teachers, I blame government regulations on "education".

Remove the government from education and health care and both would improve rapidly.

This is why socialist democrats fear secession by the states.

They know that if states tell the federal government to FUCK OFF that people will quickly migrate to those states that lack a federal income tax and aren't subject to the 2M pages of federal government regulations.

This is why I hope Hilary wins. She will be blamed for the dissolution of the "USA".

You know he was dead, don't you? Bel-Air was heaven, and the Fresh Prince died in a shooting in Philly.

So, Will Smith in "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" is dead?!
This changes everything! Could Will Smith

In Atlanta it got so bad they put metal plates over them, which proved to be far more effective in destroying people's tires.

A city Philadelphia's size would have 100,000 or more potholes to fill every year.

[R36] filling a pothole is easy. Fixing the underlying rot of government maintained infrastructure is not. Why spend a million dollars fixing something correctly so it lasts 50 years when $100k will fix it long enough for them to retire and take zero responsibility when it fails a few years later.

Government employees have no incentive to fix big problems. They can let them fester for years, long after they have retired, or taken a private sector job that uses their Rolodex to get big money "consulting" the government. The big problems are kicked down the road, much the same way the federal debt is pushed onto future generations.

There is no excuse for Philadelphia. The US helped to rebuild most of Europe after World War 2 and for a city the size of Philadelphia to remain in absolute devistation is beyond understanding. I am convinced that shear racial hatred has allowed these conditions to exist and grow.

Absolute devistation? Oh, dear

Again, nearly all of you sound like you've actually never been here. There is terrible blight in the city, that is very true, and sad, but the hyperbole on this thread won't solve any of the problems - which mainly have to do with incompetency from city hall and the mayor.

True in 1970 ...and 45 years later.

Much of Philly is and has been a dump for decades now.

We need a better mayor, that's true. We also need better representation in Harrisburg, which is overtaken by idiot Republicans from Pennsyltucky. Philadelphia generates enormous tax revenue and jobs that benefit the whole state, and our infrastructure is far denser and more stressed than the rural areas. Maybe if we had more funding from the state our city could repair its roads more efficiently.

The libertarian troll is trying way too hard here. I find the original blog post about some lily-white suburbanite off-ramped into "the hood," shocked and appalled by his "tax dollars at work" subsidizing (gasp) welfare queens while potholes go unfilled, just too, too funny. I'm white and my fellow white people embarrass me. If your reaction to getting detoured through the ghetto is to rail against welfare and complain about potholes, you're probably an asshole at a very basic level.

exactly, that old horse is dead. I dated a guy form Yardley once and he felt that if you didn't have a gun on you at ALL TIMES in philadelphia, NO MATTER WHERE, you would die. some of these drama queens need to get out of their echo chambers, and Yes, the fool sin Harrisburg are just as much to blame, all of us in Philly would LOVE stricter guns laws, but the fuckups in Harrisburg couldn't deal with it.

Libertarian porn website.
Yup. And completely nonsensical and divorced from reality, as is our resident ILT. I love that idiocy about "gold plated pensions" and how terrible it is that we spend money on public schools. Quelle horreur!

Note the compete absence of actual data, the overwrought rhetoric, the conclusions that aren't supported by the story. It's just the same old drivel that this moron has been spamming us with for years.

And, of course, we have the same lack of knowledge of the real world that he's been demonstrating for years, like the assertion that, " Why spend a million dollars fixing something correctly so it lasts 50 years when $100k will fix it long enough for them to retire and take zero responsibility when it fails a few years later." Yes, because the private sector would never, ever do anything like this....

Or saying something incredibly stupid like, "Remove the government from education and health care and both would improve rapidly." When the reality is that Medicare is cheaper than the private alternatives, controls costs better than the private alternatives, and is more popular than the private alternatives. And every other major industrialized nation's government-controlled health care is far cheaper than ours, covers more people than ours, and delivers outcomes better than ours.

The ILT is a moron and the site he so slavishly follows is just as bad.
