It’s the same issue as Harrisburg - might be closer but is it feasible? You can fly into PHL at almost any time of day or night. Can the same be said for ABE, PNE or Harrisburg?

Or fly into Harrisburg, if possible and feasible given the urgency of these situations, and still drive 75+ min to either Upper Bern or Tremont.

So for the 2 PA sites...
That an immigration lawyer would have to fly into PHL, fight Philly traffic to get to the western burbs, then drive 75min+ to towns NW of Reading is a feature, not a bug.

Couple thoughts:
- There are all kinds of things this Administration seems to want to subsidize or penalize. Healthcare provider shortages, glut of oil/domestic fossil fuels.
- Any recent studies on digital literacy and/or technology acceptance across socioeconomic and geographic strata?

I'm assuming you asked others for help? The end for me was the local event for an industry holiday. No shortage of people who wanted to offer input, make calls, etc.
But after commuting back to Philly from Harrisburg, I was the only one setting the chairs and tables up the night before the event.

If the answer to "Do you want to do this again?" is "no", then absolutely let things work out with KFC.
If you do want to keep organizing these things, then get bulldozin'.
I gave up community organizing and events in 2012 and don't miss it at all, but I had other friends who thrived on it.

The thing I can't figure out is why the ads shown in Pluto TV and Prime Video are for her things, when the accounts are mine.
If this is a situation where the eavesdropping is attuned to female voices...well, I guess there's another dimension to "shrink it and pink it".

Until Apple gets busted selling sensor data à la Meta and Google, I’ll give them a little benefit of the doubt.
But I’m with you - no Meta or Google apps on my phone in years.

My wife tells me all the time “We were talking about [this] at work and I started seeing ads on Facebook for it.” I tell her Meta’s been busted using the phone’s mic in the background.
