Philly Libertarian

Sorry everyone here. There's something about this place that makes me post less than I do on the former site.

You'd have to use preexisting Article III judges

Seems like a statement against college football.

I think that's accurate based on my read.

2024 New Jersey Revised Statutes :: Title 39 - Motor Vehicles and Traffic Regulation :: Section 39:3-76.7 - Protective helmets. Justia Free Databases of U.S. Laws, Codes & Statutes

Apparently it's by way of reclassification of most e-bikes as species of motorcycles, which then triggers the helmet law. law.justia.com/codes/new-je...

Incredibly unfair framing.

Maybe you should look into the concept of positive externalities.

Okay but those are non-capitalist policy choices to discharge debts and force hospitals to socialize costs.

Can I be charged higher premiums in the Marketplace if I smoke? Do e-cigarettes count? | KFF In most states, yes. Generally, an insurer can charge you up to 50% more if you have used tobacco products four or more times per week on average during the past 6 months. This is called a tobacco sur...

No? www.kff.org/faqs/faqs-he...

This is what you get for hounding vaping for years, claiming there's no difference. If kids get the misimpression vapes and cigarettes are just as dangerous then they'll just be nihilistic about it all.

Insurers have different smoking and non-smoking risk rating (different premium levels) to eliminate any of that.

You can end actual trafficking by decriminalizing consensual sex that happens to involve an exchange of money or things.

Elon Musk indicates he’s ‘going all in’ on financing the GOP again ahead of midterms After faltering in his plan to found a new ‘America Party’, the world’s richest person is returning to the GOP fold

Not surprised the guy who headlined DOGE isn't willing or able to put in the work to advance a third party alternative. You guys really don't appreciate how hard it is. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is basic entrepreneurialism where entrepreneurs anticipate needs and demands people didn't know they had. I feel like this person just doesn't grasp basic economics.

This is basic entrepreneurialism. Entrepreneurs often identify needs people didn't even know they had.

This is a fine personal accomplishment, but people shouldn't mistake a degree for actual value. Young people need to be cognizant of choice of major and alternatives. Don't make the mistake of buying a luxury accomplishment that you can't afford.

On Mamdani's terrible "rugged individualism" vs. "warm collectivism" line, we've been living collectivism for quite a while. Sad to see people from both sides of the current political spectrum--democratic socialists and national conservatives--look to kill the remains of liberalism.

Signage is ridiculously tightly regulated since the 1961 Zoning Resolution. A lot of it is latent anti-capitalism. When a guy figured out he could put ads on boats around Manhattan a few years ago, he caused the city and state legislatures to act quicker than I've ever seen to shut it down.

Nice, right on the BSL.

A prior era of a command and control economy and arbitrary bureaucracy?

I remember walking across the Henry Hudson Parkway during Sandy. It was eerie and appreciated by no one.

We need more advocates to tell City Council to stop meting out new responsibilities to L&I.

It's a scam in the exaggerated sense of the term because fusion parties are fake vassals for the major parties and NY's 2020 election reforms greatly limiting third-party ballot access should not be justified by their continued existence.

The latest round of Antisemites coming out of the woodwork has educated me on how a surprising number of people actually believe in the Devil and demons as real malevolent forces. How I, a Jew, apparently serve an entity I was unaware of further complicates the idea that the Devil hides himself.

‘How does the building not fall down?’: Philly second graders’ quest to learn about a project rising outside their classroom yields adorable answers Second graders at Fanny Jackson Coppin Elementary guessed that "four thousand million" bricks were used in the massive renovation project on S. 12th Street. They were close - it's 17,500.

this is very cute and dare I say YIMBY www.inquirer.com/education/se...

Philly native!

My entire argument was indifferent to the business and focused on unemployment effects.

I'm not arguing against it.
I'm arguing against the move some people make where they waive away the cost of labor as if it's actually profitable to pay people more in all situations
