@lukeisamazing that was only later in the admin. earliest policy implementation ruined families... my mom knew a guy who had a secret second son with his wife back home. govt found out and killed the 1yo kid and he lost his govt job, he then killed himself...
the pigeon doesn’t understand your disdain for it; it coos for you anyway. the tree does not know you own an axe for it; its leaves sway in the sun anyway. the starving cat eats the poison you put out. it doesn’t know how not to trust. the earth forgives you, in spite of yourself
New Jersey is ready and excited to host eight FIFA World Cup matches this summer – including the World Cup Final.
Since I took office, my Administration has been working to prepare for the biggest sporting event our state has ever seen – and today, NJ TRANSIT released their Mobility Plan to move 40,000 fans to and from each match safely and efficiently.
In the FIFA World Cup agreement that my Administration inherited, FIFA put zero dollars towards transporting World Cup fans. It also eliminated parking at MetLife Stadium, putting the burden of transporting four times more matchday riders than typical for an event at the stadium on NJ TRANSIT.
This agreement will cost NJ TRANSIT at least $48 million, while FIFA is positioned to make $11 billion during the World Cup.
As I have said repeatedly, FIFA should cover the cost of transporting its fans. If it won’t, we will not be subsidizing World Cup ticket holders on the backs of New Jerseyans who rely on NJ TRANSIT every day.
FIFA having its corrupt way with every single city and country its ever touched until suddenly being shocked and stunned into submission by a final, even more corrupt thing: New Jersey
There isn't much I like about Americans, but the understated cultural taboo we have around having servants/hired help and being generally polite to waitstaff is a genuine achievement in egalitarianism. Much of the rest of the world are absolute savages in this regard.
