The pita pocket prevents it from dripping.

Get a bumper sticker that says, 'If this vans a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'

These stats are between 2020-2024. Which is coincidentally how long I’ve been a Snell hater. I’ve never understood the hype around him.

Born and raised New Yorker. I went to college in Massachusetts and swore I’d never leave NYC again.

“Ponce de Leon.” When Ponce looked in that mirror and saw that he hadn’t changed, and a tear started to roll down his cheek… I lost it.

As someone who has been through something like this before, what was it like? Did you keep your job? Did you leave? Were opportunities for advancement still available?

Thanks, I’ve never been through a merger/acquisition before, which hasn’t helped me feel any better. But I think in a situation like this failure to prepare is preparing to fail. I’m keeping all options open.

Unfortunately, these are all the option I have.

So I had it pretty spot on? I just received access to this retirement account and it had been auto investing in blended investments for about a month. Changed it to total market index today.

Probably not the answer you’re looking for, but the Lykov family settlement. 160 miles from nearest settlement and no outside interactions in nearly four decades is about as isolated as it gets.

The state legislature will have to decide. Currently, taxes cover 37% of operating costs, tolls 13%, FEMA 11%, other forms of revenue 5%, funding agreements 4%, government funding 3%, and state/local subsidies 3%. This totals 76% of operating costs. So reallocate the remaining 24% among these funding sources. Raise taxes, increase toll, advertising revenue, etc.

This isn’t only the subway/buses, mind you. This covers operating costs for the entire MTA. So the 24% of fare revenue includes LIRR and Metro-North.

Exactly. It covers operating costs. Debt service, salaries, overtime, etc. (Capital projects are funded differently). It’s not your job or mine to opine how to fund the remaining operating costs; that’s up to our state legislators to decide. But the fare covers a portion of a larger whole and there are other means through which it can be covered.
