I’m from this region of Pennsylvania. Abuse and bullying is protected by the culture of this region. The sheriff’s office has done mass murders against strikers in the coal fields. 1860’s I believe. This guy stepped down. But his sentiment carries far in the community. It’s a bigoted hate filled hole.

A literal gun cult is financing far right radicals into local politics. A hate group is trying to force schools to out children who say they are gay. And YouTube protects their account where they post hours of hate content.

I worked with the president of the group before. He was fired from his job because he was accused of stealing $15,000.

The same as debtors prison, how is that supposed to fix anything? Accomplishes literally nothing other than punishing people for being poor.

how about you start punishing companies for not paying people a livable wage?

Unfortunately nothing new. I remember as a kid that if you didn’t have money in your lunch account, your lunch was taken away and if you were lucky they’d have a peanut butter sandwich for you.

If you were in a negative balance, such as if your parents were unable to pay, then you’d also be restricted from certain activities and pressured to make your parents pay what was owed.

Imagine going into lunch debt for horrible cafeteria food

And they have the nerve to ask why people aren't having kids anymore

That picture of the food is a damn feast compared to what actually gets served.

not jealous of the Chadian infantry who are going to have to liberate Pennsylvania when the regime shatters

the saddest part about American volk is that they can't even pretend they don't know what's going on because they do it to their neighbors
