In reply to the discussion: Federal Judge Approves Trump Effort to Obtain List of Jews From Penn [View all]BumRushDaShow
(169,832 posts)40. Most of the refineries are gone after the PES fire in 2019
That site (which used to be the Sunoco and American Petrolium refineries) is being repurposed for other uses now after the cleanup.
I think what is left for refineries are now near Marcus Hook outside of the city along the Delaware River.
And when I was a kid, I used to have a PSFS savings account and even had a few stints as a "banker" when they would bring the little machines into the school once a month for kids to deposit and the deposits were registered in passbooks like the below!

The building is designated historic as one of the first "modern style" skyscrapers (built in 1932) and the bank itself was the nation's first (consumer) savings bank back in 1816, so it would have had its 210th anniversary this year (but it was merged into other banks years ago). The building is a hotel now (but the sign is designated historic so is still there) -

Used to be nothing was taller than Billy Penn's hat on the statue on top of City Hall. Now just about everything is!

Horrible optics even if they are (in theory) trying to go after antisemitism

Your Government is Protecting You. Information will never leak. It will never be used to harass, injure or kill Jews.

Yeah. I don't care what reasons are given. Never good - Never - to want to point out the Jewish people.

OK, maybe this is a dumb question, but why the fuck would a student or employee record include religious affiliation??

Is the next step to force universities to give up the names of every Muslim so they can be blamed for antisemitism?

Why would there be a "list of Jews" in the first place? Religion of nonreligion is a private matter.

Wouldn't it be easier just to make all the Jews wear a yellow Star of David on their clothing?
