Free iPhones! Mall looted.

I don’t have a care left to give to the people of the big cities who voted in and continue to vote in the politicians destroying their city.

Call me crazy but I don't think that there has been a free and fair election in Philadelphia in decades. I lived in that area and worked in Center City in the 1970s. it was corrupt even then and has gotten worse.

Philly implements a sugary drink tax.

Didn’t go as planned:

Layoffs in local bottling plants.

Layoffs in grocery stores as customers did their shopping outside of city limits with no drink tax.

Sales tax revenue declined more than sugary drink tax.

PA had a similar deal when we lived there. The prices at the official State liquor stores were very high compared to Maryland. People started driving across the border to make their purchases. PA dispatched State Police to sit at the border liquor stores and pull over cars with PA license plates that they saw go into those stores on reasonable suspicion of tax evasion. But "people I knew" had to periodically drive deep into MD for work and would return with contraband in their trunks. No RS for a PA car just driving on a MD highway. PA prices finally came in line with surrounding States.
