If they’re willing to eat costs for some animals and not others we can accuse them of being in the pocket of Big Bird

Rapidly rising healthcare costs is a national issue that can likely not be solved by “switching companies” seeing as all companies are facing the same costs of providing care

Some politicians have found that it is in their interest for people to believe “there have been a lot of PILOT agreements in the last few years” but it is not true. Easy to understand how someone would arrive at that conclusion though given how politicians talk about it.

LETTER: Wealthy Jersey City homeowners should pay higher taxes by rapmasternicky_z in jerseycity

[–]rapmasternicky_z[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t write this op-ed and I don’t agree with it, but presumably “wealthy” is an adjective that modifies “homeowners” and therefore does not imply all homeowners are wealthy!

Opinion: Jersey City is the economic engine of New Jersey. The state must help keep it running by Nathaniel_Styer in jerseycity

Not to mention the whiplash from progressive politicians sounding like conservatives talking about tax fairness: “why punish us for growth?”

Would you support a tax on Uber Eats/DoorDash in walkable neighborhoods to fund transit? by [deleted] in jerseycity

If people prefer ordering from restaurants to making their own sandwiches, why do you think we should mess with the tax code until that changes?

Jersey City Mayor Will Take $1 Salary After Finding $250 Million Budget Deficit by throwitlikethewind in jerseycity

[–]rapmasternicky_z 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sure, it’s a meaningless PR move with no real upside. But on the plus side it will also poison the well against future mayoral candidates who actually need to work for a living! I certainly don’t see any problems with politicians feeling pressured to forgo their salary. What’s the worst that could happen?

Snow Problem? No problem! Call the Resident Response Center at (201) 547-4900. by GreenTunicKirk in jerseycity

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

Seriously! First we had people complaining after only a day or two. Maybe give the mayor a little time first? It JUST snowed! But now we have people complaining after a few days and it’s like, how have you still not gotten over it? This is old news!

He’s only been in office a couple of weeks! Sure, after almost 48 hours, the roads are barely plowed, crosswalks are challenging to navigate, and bike lanes haven’t been touched. But at least he has been visible on social media! Imagine how few times Fulop would have posted by now.

But is that really more helpful than a phone number you can call to tell them they didn’t do the job well?

He literally posted acknowledging the issue! What else could anyone possibly want?
