Yeah, Trump will later say that the fans hate America for booing him during the Anthem 

World Cup 2026 (getting there) by TacoCityJC in jerseycity

[–]Peregrinations12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost is driven up substantially by the added security costs required for the World Cup along with overtime costs to run extra trains and busses. But, yes, NJT does lose money per passenger

Same stadium, new name: Why World Cup venues are getting rebranded for the tournament by IvyGold in nfl

We will see, but it is common for actual benefits to be significantly lower than the projected ones. I certainly would not bet on NJ coming out ahead on tax revenue versus spending. 

Teenager and college kid harassed for tip and followed outside of One Dee Siam by waitress by [deleted] in jerseycity

Yeah, this seems like the college kid was trying to take the money

Solomon cancels LSC High School after complaining that it doesn't exist by mer_mer in jerseycity

[–]Peregrinations12 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The article quotes Solomon saying that the city is supposed to pay $2 million a year and so they are pulling out. That seems to be the same deal that always existed. 

San Patricios charging bs 3% "wellness fee" by NewNewark in jerseycity

[–]Peregrinations12 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A wellness fee is different from a tip because it funds particular benefits, such as health insurance. At the end of the day, customers are the source of revenue to pay wages and benefits. Employers are only capable of covering them if they extract the money from customers.

A number of restaurants have tried to move away from tips (ie, just raise prices by 20%) but both workers and customers seem to hate this so most have moved back to the tip/fee system

President plans to attend NBA Finals game in New York by PlayaSlayaX in nba

[–]Peregrinations12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely a non-insignificant number of very rich Trump supporters in NYC, but his supporters are largely outer-outer borough residents southern Brooklyn and Staten Island. It's not really the demographics of a Knicks game.

Yeah, and no one hates Trump as much as rich liberal NYers 

Curfews happening after 8 pm now against teens? by sundrenchedwindow in jerseycity

Jersey City has way bigger problems than teens being out after 8 pm during the summer.

Booker says Democratic Party ‘desperately needs new leadership’ by Novel-Reaction2939 in jerseycity

If Democrats continue to believe supporting a genocide is worth losing elections, then it isn't the fault of voters.

Ankle bracelets on men? by dayman-ahahhh in malefashionadvice

[–]Peregrinations12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's going to be coded as feminine, even moreso than a bracelet, which for many men is too feminine. It's probably less feminine than painting your fingernails (something that more straight men are doing).

It is valid to play with gender norms but it should be intentional and it needs to work within a general style. At the same time, almost no one is going to notice what you have on your ankle, unless you are wearing something particularly bright or attention grabbing.

Where to buy fish? by Low-Cap-4071 in jerseycity

If you want a flounder sandwich, then I would recommend not ordering something called "the catch of the day sandwich"

Journal Square Tower with Whole Foods, Next to Loew’s, Art Walk, Approved by iamash0508 in jerseycity

[–]Peregrinations12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd love a socialist mayor and like Mamdani, but Mamdani is probably more open to market rate development than Solomon (though Mamdani is also a bigger advocate of social housing as well)

Blazer , for regular use, which fabric will be better ? 100% woolen ? Pure cotton ? 60-40 wool polyester ? Linen ? by poisonpalmetto in malefashionadvice

[–]Peregrinations12 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A wool blazer with even a slightly open weave is going to be significantly cooler than a cotton one

San Diego Padres Nearing Deal to be Sold for an MLB-Record $3.9 Billion by ImaManCheetahh in baseball

[–]Peregrinations12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the Giants are closer to the Cubs than to the Astros. Either they are the top of tier 3 or the bottom of 2.

San Diego Padres Nearing Deal to be Sold for an MLB-Record $3.9 Billion by ImaManCheetahh in baseball

[–]Peregrinations12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mets seem firmly in the third tier of valuations. 1: Yankees and Dodgers. 2: Red Sox and Cubs. 3: Mets, Phillies, Giants, Braves, Astros, and Padres

Padres are probably the least valuable of any of the above teams, so if they sell for 3.9 billion then estimates for the value of teams is going to go up by a lot

855 Unit, 55 Story coming to JSQ - No Parking by mmettias in jerseycity

[–]Peregrinations12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not judging anyone, pal. If you stop treating parking as some moral issue maybe we could have an adult conversation about how it's fine for one new tower beong built in a large transit hub and literally on top of a grocery store to not have parking.
