And this is why abortion is such a vitally important right we need to protect.

For a project of this size, complexity and scope, it is always going to be underbaked. This project is going to go over budget, full stop. Even if we spent another decade planning, it will still go over budget. But I would rather have a project go over budget with pre-Covid construction costs than have to pay what current costs are. We should be thankful there was not another disaster that could have closed the tunnels.

Possibly? One of the big problems with his campaign was how he was advised to holp back and have more decorum. Something Christie was not known for. Had he been his true self he probably would have polled better. Of course you have the lightning in a bottle that was 2016 Trump for the GOP base interfering with any chance of him winning but it could have been him up there instead of Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio had he not been so chucked by his advisors.

Aren't dreams supposed to be ur deepest thoughts? Maybe ur thinking about it so much u start dreaming about it?

You'd be surprised how many people aren't cut out for home ownership and why renting is the better option, even at this price.

I think the reason Christie cancelled it was because NJ was wholly responsible for all the excess costs. I'm not a Christie fan, but to me it was a no-brainer to cancel that project.

At the time it was clear that the actual cost would be way higher than the estimated price. Name one large project like this that comes in on budget and on time. And at the time New Jersey's finances were a mess, yes, mostly due to Republican mismanagement, but in this case moving the initial monies to other state needs and punting on the tunnel project was shrewd.

your line of thinking doesn’t come naturally to many

Is your FMLA run through a private insurance company? If so, they might be more responsive and be able to answer questions better than the state.

Did Christie have any tangible chance at a presidential run? He seemed to get smacked out of the race pretty early IIRC.

Welcome to government/union employment!

And NJ / NY would have been responsible for all of the excess costs.

Are we still blaming the wind turbines?

Why? You support acting in blatantly unconstitutional manners?

I only think about being tied up with the police for hours/days, possible lawsuit, god forbid it's somehow my fault because a taillight is out, etc.

> hudson tunnels

can mean any of several, but usually means the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_River_Tunnels

Rail tunnels going under the Hudson River to Penn Station. Currently there are only two tracks under the river. Plan is to have two more tracks to run more trains.

I could be completely wrong here, but holland & Lincoln tunnels?

Ha!

Hamilton's a good spot in NJ to get anywhere, Trenton train to Philly and Hamilton to NYC. Bordentown and Princeton right near you. Lots of food and shopping close. Not a bad spot.

Part of the reason it was canceled was because it wasn’t going to cost half as much. It was a notoriously underbaked design.

Read my mind lmao

A train from Jersey to Herald Square doesn’t sound so bad. I almost prefer that to adding more people to the mess of Penn Station.

We can all "be like those people" I'm not perfect just everyone else and I fail often but for situations like those when it counts if you can keep your cool that's the best trait you can have in life.

Title change, interesting I guess I’ll just hear what they say to me in a month from now and I’ll circle back to this thread
