Philadelphia will not get better if the business climate is this hostile. Shoplifting is out of control, it's too expensive to run a small business, and bureaucrats shake you down for random stuff. It cannot continue to be like this.

Whole neighborhoods have been allowed to decay into open-air drug markets and government bureaucrats are focused on... antagonizing small businesses who dare to build sidewalk cafes. Enraging.

end the HOA tyranny, let people plant gardens in their front yards if they wish
The AZ - abc15 - Data Guru@Garrett_Archer

Fascinating situation in Quebec, following a two month strike; students will be evaluated with provincial exams to determine whether they pass or remain at the grade level…algorithmic policy of instructional days still stand as well pedagogical days and break days…
