Or cities could just let people build more housing so that folks had more choices, instead of being forced out.

If you think dockless bikes take up a lot of space, you should see how much space dockless cars take up.

That’s the wild part. I was thinking during the first half “wow, weird that UVA can’t score and nice that UMBC is hitting shots, too bad they won’t be able to keep it up the whole game.” We see close halves all the time thanks to good luck for the underdog and a rough start for the favorite, and the second half is…

Go yell at your HR. Seriously, usually it’s an overwhelmed non-expert making the selection and they don’t need much of a push to choose a better option (unless you’re at some giant mega-corp). I played a role in selection for my company and it was super easy to say “whatever, just make sure there’s a cheap index.”

You literally said that men are so thin skinned and pathetic that we can’t handle hearing about women’s issues or holidays. Relax, have a beer, and consider the possibility that the world isn’t out to get you.

Ironically, your description of men as whiny little babies is most derogatory statement about men I’ve heard in a long time.

The actual journalists at the NYT are pretty good, it’s just the opinion page that’s trash. Same thing at the WSJ. The fact that these papers fire editors (who catch things like obvious factual errors in columns) while paying ridiculous sums for morons is what needs correcting. It’s not like there’s any shortage of…

I mean, that’s just life. Colleges are in the business of educating their students and design curricula to show not only expose students to a variety of views, but to explain the context and facts behind those views. Students already are aware of ideas like “there are superior races that deserve to govern lesser…

Yeah, it’s a sure sign of bad faith. They point to crappy regulations that drive up costs and say “never build anything” instead of “fix those so we can build more.”

Update: I shouldn’t be so critical on the 7 years thing. They definitely started the project back then, so it’s a fair point. There were a ton of changes to the project after (especially post-Sandy), and it wasn’t finalized until recently, but they did propose it pretty quickly post-ARC.

What money for who? These are all public entities so we have access to financial reports. I think it’s the Port Authority that would own the tunnels, but I’m not sure.

Like I said, the project hasn’t even existed for 7 years. There was the ARC project in 2011, and after Christie killed that they started talking about Gateway as a replacement. They came to a deal on Gateway in 2015-2016.

A request:

Wait, your argument is that literal human beings have zero relevance and the only thing that matters to the economy is imported goods? I disagree, but that’s a fun way of looking at the world.

Ok cool. Let’s do that with all public spending. Has nothing to do with the Gateway project, though. If you like maintaining infrastructure and holding politicians accountable, the right move is to continue the project as agreed while also calling for accountability at all levels of government. Easy combo.

You must’ve been fucking furious about the $1.5 trillion tax cut Trump signed.

Same core concept (new tunnel), but different particulars and a wider scope for the new one. The delay has also pushed the cost of tunnel itself up about $5 billion since the ARC days, so thanks Christie.

More people go through Penn Station each day than live in Oakland. Also, port ownership, labor disputes, and upgrades are absolutely reported on. Try again.

Wait, are you for or against maintaining infrastructure? The first thing the new tunnel is going to do is shunt existing traffic so that the original 100 year old tunnels can finally be overhauled.

It’s funny that you complain about “reporting on the fact” and get your facts completely wrong. Both states agreed to funding and they’re going to pay for it with regular appropriations just like Congress will. The project hasn’t been underway since 2011, that’s just when they followed up Christie killing the ARC…
