You don't need to be owned by Wall Street investors to be "for-profit". They're already siphoning money (profits) for executives.

They already operate as if they were for-profit.

A little bit north into Beaver county as well it can be pretty cheap for some pretty decent places and still not too far from the city. How I've been surviving lol

A buddy of mine DESPISES Vincents. I've never had it. I've heard people here talk about it like it's the best pizza ever but I can only think of him ranting about how bad he thinks it is.

The whole concept of states having their own fun license plate designs came about specifically to advertise tourism for that state.

I thought they definitely were shutting it down in a few years. If I recall it's pretty old and out of date. But not replacing it is a terrible idea.

Hershey Park is a good consolation. I'd much rather be PA with a slightly worse coaster park than be Ohio with anything.
Jungle Jim's is amazing though.

That's a great way to condemn migrants to living in squalor when they don't have the resources to "fix it up"

"don't improve the system! Just leave" Why would I leave? I want to make this country better rather than licking the boots of some dudes who died over 100 years ago. If you don't want people to be paid a living wage for jury duty that's fine, just advocate for a system where people can miss work and still have the resources they need.
The system might work fine (debatable), but why not make it better? America is the richest country in the world. Why shouldn't we be better? It sounds like all you want is some flaccid America that barely limps by. That's pathetic.

Lol a selfish worldview is one in which it's ensured that everyone is provided for? I'll take that bullet. If it's selfish to say no to a duty to the community because I want to pay my mortgage and keep my family fed then yeah I guess I'm selfish.
I'm literally arguing for a system where people can actually do their duty to their fellow man without worrying about their own well being. But you haven't actually addressed that. All you've argued for is the status quo which, as I've argued unopposed, is harmful to people with lower incomes and prevents them from fulfilling their duty.
Try addressing my points rather than just flipping out because I called you a coward for arguing in favor of an unjust system.

Why is that an entitled douche? Sounds like someone who doesn't want to be put in financial distress regardless of "duty". Idk about you, but my duty to my family comes way before I even think about the duty towards the state.
You're constructing the ideal person as someone who just accepts their "duty" regardless of harm. Someone who just accepts their duty and doesn't say anything even when it's causing harm to them or other people just sounds like a coward.
Your duty should be to try and make your community better. Being on a jury is an obligation that's one way of fulfilling that duty. As it stands, we're restricting jury duty to those who have the financial means to miss work and lose that money. This is just another way that the US is a plutocracy. We should ensure that no one misses out on their wages so that everyone can participate regardless of income. I think that ensuring everyone can participate as a member of a jury would make it all just a bit better.
Rather than being some coward who accepts the status quo without "whining or complaining", why not aim for something a bit better?

Again. No one's arguing that ONLY they should get paid a living wage. That's ridiculous. Everyone here is talking about how the policy needs to change so that everyone receives the wages that they would've planned for within a certain limit. This person is merely talking about their own experience and needs within a conversation about a system that they believe needs to change.
This would also make trials cost a lot more which might have the secondary benefit of cutting down on all the unnecessary convictions for non-violent offenders.

Yes and it is awesome that it's a duty. Juries are generally a good system that can provide more accountability.
No one's arguing that it's not a requirement/duty. No one's arguing that they're special. What they are arguing is that at the compensation that Pennsylvania gives for jury duty, you're not going to have the income that you would've planned on which can cause unnecessary financial distress.
However you never addressed any of that because you were so obsessed with "humbling" someone for that extra feeling of superiority that you seem to love so much.

There's a lot of people talking about how fabric softener is bad for you and your clothes. It's also bad for your dryer. The wax that they use for softener coats the dryer and can make it break down much earlier.
