The Winnipeg Jets live to fight another day. The Capitals do not. College football is just 100 days away. They’re racing in Imola this weekend. And that’s it for sports.
Wait, is this about people who actually came to the ports of entry? Also, the story is pretty rich, seeing as the former admin just paid NGOs to help people bypass the ports of entry and come in illegally and then claim it. But that’s (D)ifferent.
This is silly. But I do want to see him perp walked and have a nice mugshot taken in the middle of his vacation. Because the guy is a complete piece of shit who tried to do a coup the last time around.
What the fucking fuck? This is absolutely ridiculous. I have nothing else to add.
I really hope this works. Those poor soldiers, many of them conscripts, need to stop dying for the egos of the two turds running the countries involved.

The first paragraph of the first link:
They arrive at the U.S. border from around the world: Eritrea, Guatemala, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Ghana, Uzbekistan and so many other countries.
There’s not a single country on that list that’s closer to the US than it is to other countries where they could seek asylum. And that’s a problem.
Yep – that’s as far as I made it. Some NGO “charity” transported them here probably with USAID money. They can transport them right the hell back.
See my comment below. The takeaway is that Americans are the most reviled people on earth, reviled by the rest of the world and by many Americans.

It is a known fact that, what, 90% of these cases are rejected? They should be thanking Donald for saving everyone’s time and saving billions of our tax dollars.
Digging deep for one side of the story. Never change, AP News.
The second picture – of all of those people walking through southern Mexico. A border they normally keep shut tighter than a bull’s asshole. Oh, you say you want to cross through to the U.S. – why sure, march right on. I’d love to see the pictures of NOW, with knowing that those people won’t be allowed to cross OUR border, you can bet the Mexicans aren’t letting them cross their border.
“There’s not a single country on that list that’s closer to the US than it is to other countries where they could seek asylum. And that’s a problem.”
When you come to understand they are coming here for free shit from a government that sees them as a means to ignore the will of the current people while pretending they have not completely and utterly destroyed the entire constitution and the whole government exists to serve the people thing…
Fuck the Daily Mail headline.
And fuck the Newsweek “why it matters” header.
Donald should reject it purely on the fact that Obama got one for not doing shit.
Agreed. However, Obama got his for being a globalist/marxist piece of shit who they expected to do everything he could to damage the US and spite its citizens. He did not disappoint them.
It is impossible to overstate the importance of stated vs revealed preferences, that and foreseeable consequences are not unintended.

This. Does the father make it look like a gang killing or do it in a way that makes a statement?
Statement. Both criminal and judge strung up by their own entrails.

These are the kinds of outrages a local Libertarian Party should be crusading against. But 1) there are hardly any effective local LP chapters, and 2) the LP is more concerned these days with the “enemy within.”

Anarcho-tyranny is a thing.
It is. 86 means get rid of — it doesn’t necessitate “kill”. He probably actually wants that to happen — but we can’t know his mind and we shouldn’t prosecute thought crimes. Lighten up, collective Francises of the MAGA world.
Are people confusing it with Calif. Penal Code 187?
It’s probably prudent to publicly arrest (after CNN has been notified) and question him after a series of mugshots and fingerprints, just to be sure. Then he should be released and any security clearances he has revoked permanently.
You can’t be too safe these days.
Ask him his views on sloped roofs.

Never happen. After all there is a Hawaii based Fed judge available to place a national injunction in place on prosecuting ex-FBI Directors.
He probably can’t be convicted as you say, but it’s fun to watch him squirm. And if he lies to his interrogators, maybe he should be charged like he did with Martha Stewart.
Florida has become the second state in the US to ban fluoride from its tap water in a move that is likely to appease RFK Jr.
Back of toothpaste bottle:
“Children 2 to 6 years: Use only a pea sized amount and supervise child’s brushing and rinsing (to minimize swallowing).
Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age.
If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.”
Huh.
Fluoride is the active ingredient in rat poison.
Ice cream, Mandrake. Children’s ice cream…
Like that jerky boy told the asbestos cleaner interviewer: I just put mustard on that shit and eat it!
Desantis is correct. Medication should not be forced on anyone.
My proggie town has never had flouride in the water and somehow most of us still have our teeth.
We didn’t until about fifteen years ago.
Talking is better than not talking, but… If Zelensky shows up demanding Russia surrenders Crimea, this will be a very short conference.
Yup… A healthy dose of realpolitik on all (because I think at a minimum there’s Russia, Ukraine, EU and the US with distinctly different agendas here) sides would be helpful. Russia needs to go in not wanting all of Ukraine (not worth the insurgency in the non-Russian parts, the ill will of the EU that would be lasting, etc… frankly acceptance of the acquisition of the Russian sections they hold should be a decent war aim, the other being a formal treaty that NATO ain’t getting any closer to Russia.). Ukraine needs to accept they’re not getting those parts back or into NATO. The EU… well, they need to accept it is time to sit down and shut the hell up. The US? Get them to stop killing each other, I suppose get things quiet for that mineral deal… stopping the killing and the constant begging by Zelensky would be enough for me… but I think y’all know my opinions at this point.
This.
And yes, we all know Russia only started seeding Crimea with Russians a few centuries ago but it’s time to get real there. The EU needs to army up but without the blather and ridiculous fantasies of Russia attacking NATO. And I would really prefer the US keep its nose out but I guess that’s a fantasy, too.
Oh… I thought it was somehow a change to how estrogen from the Pill might be filtered out of sewage systems before finding its way into the ecosystem or something. I didn’t think it was flouride making the frogs gay….
I am curious how exactly one would determine that a frog is gay.

You can tell he is genuinely showing respect. That’s what a business man does.
True… but on the off chance it happens I will laugh myself stupid watching all the heads explode.

It is a ‘common’ thing. Local Indiana meth dealers also worked in the exotic pelts fame. Many of the lions, tigers and other big cats at the Exotic Feline Rescue Center were such, and this dude was partly in charge of getting them out after arrests and shit.
I did observational research at the Exotic Feline Rescue Sanctuary where I learned such. The rescued ones lived away from the others and weren’t part of the normal tour. They HATED humans. They had seen their friends taken away and get slaughtered. This one group of ~8 tigers especially were.. uh. something else. Damn.
Also fun! I could feel the lions fucking through the ground from maybe 75-100 feet away. She just sat there, uncaring, really. Bored?
Trump economy: Despite the left’s decades long relentless campaign to destroy the economy it has managed to survive. I am sure simply putting a halt to that and attempting to improve it will result in success even if Trump is wrong on a point or two.
Dont panic.
I’m something of a conspiracy theorist, so take this for what it’s worth, but I have an idea that Trump was clearing out some economic skullduggery (I couldn’t say exactly what that would have been) with his tariff ploy.
Maybe forcing CIA front companies into bankruptcy, somehow. I don’t know, just guessing.
“Trump economy: Despite the left’s decades long relentless campaign to destroy the economy it has managed to survive”
As long as America can offer people opportunity, the one world government proponents can’t convince Americans to let them kill off 80% of humanity and make those they don’t kill off, the serfs that own nothing, eat bugs, and will be happy (or else).
He’s quietly changed energy policy and is reducing regulations. That’s going to eventually make a big, big difference but it will take time.
I was under the impression that most snap recipients simply sold their benefits for cash that they use to buy dope, liquor and cigarettes.
I forget which state but one of them replaced food stamps with pre-loaded debit cards which were promptly accepted by casinos.
Food stamps were replaced with cards everywhere some decades ago.
I don’t know what to think of this. Most recipients also get straight cash bennies and there is nothing stopping them from spending it on the “wrong” things.
And as for “healthy” food, there is already a program for that – WIC. I guess you could expand that.
Rhy, with WIC you get coupons for an exact set of products. No substitutions. Not even the same product in a smaller size because they ran out of the covered item. I’ve watched people try to deal with peanut butter nightmares because they picked up the wrong jar and the system says No.
Yup, I was a cashier in college and I remember dealing with that. I groaned every time I saw specific arrangements of milk and cheese show up on the belt.
I really wouldn’t want to inflict a scaled-up version of that on today’s cashiers.
Not Adahn, was the number of cuncurrent allowed guests at the club one or two?
One of my character references was asking about ranges in the area since due to cancer he will soon be inheriting some firearms. His wife also expressed interest if they were going to be in their residence. I couldn’t recall the guest limit and from work I can’t look it up.
My workplace also blocks the KFGC website. I think it’s just one, but I’m also pretty certain that TPTB would count a married couple as one guest.

Re: being consistent.
There are no good congresscritters/government executives. There are a few less bad than others, but every one of them without exception is so arrogant that they believe they have the combination of greater knowledge and moral authority to dictate to other people how they should live.
That is the relevant consistency. All of them think they know how I should live my life better than I do.
The sole function of government is violence. Sometimes this is necessary. But usually it’s not. And when it’s directed at their colleagues it’s not directed at me. “Let’s you and him fight” is a completely non-cowardly, non-hypocritical stance to take when two of the three parties have recommitted to fighting someone, and I have committed to not initiate aggression.
I apologize for this foray into sincerity. I will resume my regularly scheduled snark.
Oddly enough, there is no incentive for government to be anything else, and of course no one responsible for making bad decisions is ever accountable for that.
And your average person just can’t understand why we end up where we are.
Your average person thinks they’re different and better than everyone else. I’ve been on far too many planning calls where I’ve had to ask someone proposing some (usually terrible) idea, “Ok. Assume you’re the caller, how would you react if this is how your call was routed?”

I like the idea.
They could compete in an obstacle course. The last challenge would be climbing over a big ass fence.
Once they had dropped to the other side, the emcee would inform them that the fence was actually the border fence and they were now in Mexico. Too bad, don’t come back.
Isn’t that sort of the way the immigration system used to be? “Oh, you have a set of skills in job areas where we’re short-handed? Well, come on in. We don’t care if it’s a “brain drain” on your country of origin.”
As of end of yesterday, my retirement account is above my end of Jan high (my highest end of month, I dont have a record of all days). I guess Trump is like every politician, if you took away all the stupid shit they do, they would actually be okay.

everything goes into the fridge once it has been opened.
Most things go in the fridge after opened here. Quite a few hot sauces don’t need to be refrigerated.
I refrigerate soy sauce. The other day I noticed my Worcestershire sauce said to refrigerate after opening, which I have never done in my life, but am doing now.
The jar of peanut bar says to refrigerate after opening but I never do.
Haven’t even died a single time.
Yeah, but you’re a pickle. You’ve been preserved and are too salty to die.
I follow whatever the bottle says.
However, I had a bottle of Cholula go bad the other day and it was well within its shelf date so now I’m not so sure anymore.
My Worcestershire sauce (French’s) does NOT say anything about the refrigerator. … Tastes good still.
Soy sauce is a salt delivery mechanism. If it’s not so saline as to be immune to spoilage, it was made wrong.
This. Little known fact: Beside the bottle of perfectly consumable honey found in the pharoh’s tomb was a container of soy sauce in the same condition.
How many click-bait links have I seen proclaiming “This very common accepted way of doing things is WRONG!”
Sorry guys, I am not gonna bite.
Which pharaoh?
According to the internet, they found some in King Tut’s tomb (since so few were intact, that probably shouldn’t have been a shock that it was him).
Everything I’ve been able to find suggests that soy sauce wasn’t around in those times, even in Asia.
I’m talking about Honey.
As for Soy Sauce, like all things east asian, it is indeed younger than people would leave you to believe.
It’s so salty it’s not really going to go bad. Maybe if you leave it out in the sunlight it could possibly oxidize.
We buy the low sodium variety and use it very infrequently, so I feel safer keeping it refrigerated.
Low sodium soy sauce?
Does Not Compute.
UCS:
Half the salt, all the autolysis.
Nope. We use a ton of soy sauce though. Both the bulk can we buy it in and the smaller bottle used for food are kept unrefrigerated.
My wife thinks I am a barbarian because I like to put butter (also not refrigerated) and soy sauce on white rice. All her Korean buddies are likewise mortified that anyone would even think of that.
Why would you do that?
You’re ruining perfectly good food with rice contamination.
[ Imagines UCS eating sticks of butter and drinking soy sauce straight from the bottle ]
You are a sad, stange little man.
Ted:
It is like a tequila shot for UCS.
He throws some rice over his shoulder, downs a shot of soyu, then finishes by biting off a chunk of butter.

I do both of those things (well, slivers of butter – yum).

Funny, because I refrigerate the small bottles that I use on my rice, but the large jug I refill it from isn’t. God knows how old it is. But like the purple berries I haven’t gotten sick once from it.

“A bronze statue of first lady Melania Trump has been stolen in her native Slovenia — after a brazen perp cut it off at the ankles.
The towering sculpture, which was anchored to a tree stump in a field near Melania’s hometown of Sevnica, vanished on Tuesday, Agence France-Presse reported.
Cops said the life-size statue had been cut off at the feet.
A bronze statue depicting Melania Trump is unveiled in a field near her hometown Sevnica, Slovenia on Sept. 15, 2020.”

That’s one lousy statue.
*Looks at lousy statue*
I know who stole it.
Wow, that’s worse than the fat woman statue in NYC.
Better than Scary Lucy.
Are we sure that it wasn’t Comey who stole that statue?
He wanted it so he could use it to model Melania’s grundies that were stolen during the raid. (of course he stole them on his way out the door, if you doubt me, go get them from the evidence locker and show them to me)
nah, Melania stole the statue.
I forgot about the FBI taking her panties. WTF was that?
Every single person on that raid party should be drummed out of law enforcement for life.
“And nothing of value was lost.”
Honestly, if it wasn’t claimed to be representational of a particular person, but rather just a generic female human figure, I’d like it.

If that statue is “towering,” exactly how tall is the dude slouching next to it?
There are no good congresscritters/government executives. There are a few less bad than others, but every one of them without exception is so arrogant that they believe they have the combination of greater knowledge and moral authority to dictate to other people how they should live.
That is the relevant consistency. All of them think they know how I should live my life better than I do.
Nobody ever ran for office so he could leave me the fuck alone.
Let me argue the flip side of this.
My buddy who was a big wig pol would tell me that 90% of things his constituents were asking for were laws to keep them (the constituents) from indulging in their own secret vices. “I wanted to tell them that they just needed to control their own demons and not rely on a law” was sort of how he worded it. Constituents were begging him for laws to control their own behavior.
People who want laws against gambling are gamblers, drinkers want more liquor laws, people who want child pr0n laws are Democrats.
This also works pretty good for pols themselves. You can be pretty sure that any pol who is pushing some pet issue is secretly into that vice.
Exactly this. The crowd of people clamor for leadership, because they don’t want to be responsible, not even for themselves let alone for those around them. So, who steps up to lead – someone who will tell them what to do.
We are way fucking weird around here and we easily forget that.

No, there’s been lots of folks who ran for office to leave others alone. They are called Libertarians, and they get maybe 1/2 % of the vote.
Face it, hardly anyone wants to leave other people alone.
I don’t believe that Chase Oliver or Megan McArdle would have left people alone if they had power.
I dunno, I saw this aging hipster in a leather jacket claim that libertarians are a majority.

“Dramatic body camera footage shows the moment a police officer begs for her life after a deranged, half-naked suspect stole her gun moments before a fatal shooting in California.
In the disturbing video, the unidentified officer is heard pleading, “Please don’t shoot me!” following the confrontation with 26-year-old Osean McClintock in Fountain Valley, Orange County.
“You’re saved in Jesus’ name forever,” a shirtless McClintock rants over and over as he is shown ripping the handgun out of the screaming officer’s hands in chilling footage released by the Fountain Valley Police Department on Wednesday.”
https://nypost.com/2025/05/15/us-news/calif-cop-screams-dont-shoot-me-after-suspect-stole-her-gun-before-her-partner-opens-fire/
Looks like he was unarmed. Although a cop shooting someone to prevent her gun from being stolen seems justified.
He actually took the gun from the female officer and was threatening her with it when her partner (rightfully) shot him.
I meant he was unarmed when he came at the female officer. If she shot him to keep him from taking the gun, that would have been shooting an unarmed person. And if that person is black, you know what happens….
But TV has shown me that grrlz can easily beat up 20 to 30 bad guys with their kungfu. What happened?
Maybe we should go back to hiring big dudes to be cops. I’m still surprised at how many small male cops there are.
small man syndrome
They get a chance to be the big guy with a gun.
The male officer fires 10 shots in total at McClintock
Spray and pray!

Gasbaggery in the mist
Femicide is not simply the homicide of a woman; it is the intentional killing of a woman because she is a woman. This often occurs within a larger cultural context of misogyny, control, and gender-based violence. According to Amnesty International, one in four female killings in Mexico in 2020 were investigated as femicides. The actual number may be even higher, as systemic underreporting and societal minimization of violence against women obscure the full scope of the crisis.
Psychologically, femicide is often rooted in toxic gender norms that reinforce male entitlement and female disposability. Perpetrators may act out of a desire to punish women for perceived transgressions, such as asserting independence, rejecting romantic advances, or simply occupying visible public spaces. In Marquez’s case, her status as a young, successful, and visible woman may have made her a target. Public-facing women—especially those with influence—are frequently subjected to harassment and threats long before such violence turns lethal.
——-
The psychology of femicide intersects with broader social dynamics. Research has shown that in cultures where patriarchal values are strong and violence against women is normalized, femicide rates tend to be higher. Victims are often blamed, justice systems fail to act, and media coverage may sensationalize rather than contextualize the violence. This creates a feedback loop in which femicide becomes both a personal and political act used to instill fear and maintain dominance.
It’s fascinating to see the jargon in its natural habitat.

Then how are they going to clean up the snake-eating snakes?
I dunno, cane toads?

Lots and lots of mongooses. (Mongeese?)
Pentecostals?
Roman Catholic priests named Patrick?
Better than woodwind players in multicolored outfits.
And yes, that would have worked on snakes too!
I thought that was to get rid of rats and children. 🤔
With snakes the musician just has to walk slower.
Reminds me of the mongooses in the Caribbean. Or the cane toads mentioned below.
The only way you’re going to get rid of the Burmese pythons is for someone to spread a rumor that wild Burmese python meat makes men rock hard for hours. And then you’d probably end up with hundreds of ranches raising faux wild Burmese pythons.
“The city of Portland has reached a settlement with a non-binary leftist activist who allegedly sustained injuries from a police crowd control munitition during a BLM-Antifa riot in 2020. Meghan Lea Opbroek, 41, will receive a $375,000 payout from the city, according to court records….
This payout follows one of several given to individuals who actively participated in the infamous 2020 BLM-Antifa riots following the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The riots desecrated downtown Portland for several months. The majority of the settlements stemmed from criminal rioters being injured by police when officers attempted to disperse crowds. The city of Portland and Department of Justice (DOJ) has since given millions of dollars to rioters via settlements. In November, the city gave a $400,000 settlement to Antifa extremist, Dustin Brandon Ferreira, after he claimed an officer used excessive force to detain him during one of the riots.”

You can get more horses out of a 3-cylinder Corolla GR. Which has more doors than cylinders. Although it’s predecessor had more doors than seats.
This motor is tuned for torque. Makes sense given the application. I’ve watched a video on it and GM claimed they engineered for this application including longevity.
Given the 6.2L fiasco it’s certainly an open question how all their emissions and mileage “cheats” will perform in the real world.
Oh look, another retarded pick up.
*eye roll*
I can’t wait until I’m stuck behind one that won’t GTFO of the left hand lane.
Isn’t that everyday in PA?
The amount of left lane bandits in PA is higher than any other state in the east in my experience.
Not every day…but sometimes it feels like it.
Sensei:
Ohio. Sweet cheebus Ohio drivers don’t comprehend that the left lanes are for passing, and if you’re not passing someone then you should move to the right.
I firmly believe that forced aspiration doesn’t belong on a truck. I also don’t care for the direct injection. I can’t comment on the reliability, but I suspect that this motor is going to have a brutal maintenance schedule.
And GM still can’t make a decent interior. Sad.
Florida Man Speaks
A man on death row in Florida used his last opportunity to share a message with the world Thursday to show his support for President Donald Trump.
“President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go,” Glen Rogers, 62, said moments before receiving a lethal injection.
Rogers was executed for the 1995 murder of a 34-year-old mother of two he had met at a bar.
In his final statement, Rogers also thanked his wife, who visited him earlier in the day at the prison, according to visitor logs. He also somewhat cryptically said that “in the near future, your questions will be answered” without going into detail.
Go team.
“A radical nonbinary leftist educator has been arrested on child sex crime charges in Minneapolis. Preston Palmer, 35, an anti-police activist, was booked into Hennepin County Jail on Wednesday without bail. He has been charged with pornographic work involving minors, according to records.
Palmer, a third-grade substitute teacher at Sullivan STEAM school in Minneapolis, was busted during an undercover child sex sting conducted by citizen “child predator hunter” Alex Rosen. Palmer arrived at Brackett Park with the intention to meet a 13-year-old boy for sex, along with his father, according to Rosen, who claimed Palmer came with a flash drive that included more than 4,000 child pornographic images.

This will, of course, be incorporated into training materials used across the country to show cops why they should open fire immediately upon encountering a suspect. Because officer safety.
It should be entered into evidence as to why a certain level of physicality and strength should be required to be a cop.
But that might disqualify most women, so we can’t have that.
The ultra-rare 2 bore behemoth: The Millennium Gun with firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson

a gun for a real Brit. No American could handle this.
A: That looks too small to be a 2-bore.
B: It’s embarassing watching him struggle with the mechaism.
C: Why did they design it to resemble a percussion cap musket?
Okay, I did the math. Assuming I didn’t screw up the volume, a 2-bore should have a diameter of 1.325 inches. So I was wrong about that looking too small. Lead is just more dense than I visually estimate.

Yay me – job interview Monday at the boat repair shop. They said bring 2 forms of ID. Pretty sure I’m hired.
What’s with you and all these jobs?
This will be my 20th job since age 16.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxkjnQlxFHU
Evan and Derpie have had more jobs than all the other Glibs combined?
I have trouble keeping jobs, probably because I don’t like them generally.
One time, I told someone I got fired. They said “oh, you lost your job?”
I said no, I still know where it is. They told me not to come back.
I would be curious to see what the distribution looks like.
I count six that I’ve held – An internship, a stint at the mess hall, two as a computer lab assistant, the helpdesk at Xerox, and one with the state. This is not counting promotions with the same employer, or laterlas in the same employer, else my state tenure baloons to more jobs without a realistic change in circumstance.
Also 6 since college (a couple before, co-ops in school).
The tenure at those six is funny, though, something like 14 months, 18 months, 2 years, 4 years, 2 years, 18 years (and counting).
My velocity has slowed.
In college I was a math tutor, then an industrial automation company, a different industrial automation company, freelance marketing/web developer, a school software company, and now insurance industry. 6 for me as well.
Around 12 jobs in my life, depending on if you want to count paper routes and the like. In the current professional role, 3 companies over the past ~15 years.
If I’m recalling all of them, I’m in my 11th job since college. Most were short-term, many of those due to frequent moves during my marriage to the Rev. GT. One daycare center closed before the owners would have to pay us unemployment. One boss fired me as his admin assistant so he could hire (and mess around with) the receptionist. 🙄 I’ve been at my current job 25 years.
Yeah I had at least a dozen before my current employer – which has been about 20 years (with a year and a half being laid off).
Oh, yeah – I also lost a temp-to-hire position with a computer outfit that did a lot of work for the local AF base. Manpower wouldn’t let the company buy out my “temp” status early, and I got let go with all the other contractors when the government shut down at the end of a fiscal year!
I mowed lawns for a number of years, and had a summer internship as a computer programmer (yay COBOL & RPG2!). Then 36 years as a parts guy for a small business. With a side gig of botanical surveying which is still ongoing.
Let us know what the protocol is when you find a drug stash!
Snort, sell, shut up?
It’s the law
A pregnant woman in Georgia who was declared brain dead after a medical emergency has been on life support for three months to let the fetus grow enough to be delivered, a move her family says a hospital told them was required under the state’s strict anti-abortion law.
With her due date still more than three months away, it could be one of the longest such pregnancies. Her family is upset that Georgia’s law that restricts abortion once cardiac activity is detected doesn’t allow relatives to have a say in whether a pregnant woman is kept on life support.
Why do I assume this is just grotesque political grandstanding? And of course I will ask the crassest question: who pays for this?
I’m pro-life, but death of the mother is a natural end of pregnancy.
What is their problem? She is just a clump of cells.
Hmmm.
Now I’m wondering if a womb-owner can fill out paperwork to be a “donor” and have an afterlife as

Get a horse
Train operators at the nation’s third-largest transit system went on strike early Friday morning, upending the commutes for hundreds of thousands of people who work in and around New York City.
The strike is a rare labor shutdown at a commuter railroad and is the first at NJ Transit since 1983. It follows six years of negotiations between Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy’s administration and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen.
The two sides could not reach an agreement on wages, and the union said it would strike.
In a late-night press conference Thursday, Murphy said giving the union too much could endanger NJ Transit’s financial health and burden taxpayers and riders.
I blame Trump.
Be nice to me! I’m fortunate that I can work from home. This screws over a lot of working class people here that lack that option.
Team Blue completely controls both executive and legislative branches. It’s also state run. However, as you note, I’m sure we can find some Republicans to blame.
Bonus was Gov Murphy claimed it was going to “fix” NJTransit when he was elected to his first term. We can see how well that has worked.
COVID funds are running out. Hopes for more were crushed.
This screws over a lot of working class people here that lack that option.
Speaking of which, is congestion pricing still in effect?
Yes. I know plenty of affluent people taking advantage of the reduced traffic.
Seems some Democrats have a clue, let’s hope they remain a minority of the party.
Don’t worry, they will.
I was thinking that we will end up with a third party, not of populists (Trump took over the republicans anyway) but of an unholy alliance of neocons and disaffected elitist democrats. The Uniparty may become a real thing to push it’s agenda in the next 4 years. Democrats will spend the next generation in a psychotic hole, and may God help us if they ever win anything again.
The Murphy administration is quick to point to their successes, including a hike to business taxes that was meant to fill the transit agency’s looming budget gap. It’s argued that bowing to the union’s demands would have swallowed up that money and required more tax hikes, fare increases or service cuts.
But who knows if voters will understand any of that. And for all the progress he made investing in upgrades and hiring more engineers, it’s on his watch that the first strike in a generation is grinding the massive rail system to a halt.
Who knows if those low forehead troglodytes will comprehend just how wonderful their lives have been with Murphy in the governor’s mansion?
We don’t deserve him.
